I am so saddened to read about Lisa's passing. I have so many fond memories of her. From high school football games to carpooling to Arizona Western College. Several years ago we reconnected on social media. My deepest condolences to Lisa's family. Rest in Peace my friend, you will be missed.

I don't even know where to begin. Lisa has been such a good friend for over 30 years. She was always ready to help, listen and share life's experiences whether we had seen each other 2 weeks ago or 2 years ago. She helped me without question thru many difficult times and was always a positive influence in my life. I feel so blessed to have her show up at our place in St. David totally unexpectedly 3 weeks ago. She was so relaxed and happy, just as always. We all are going to miss you girl, more than you'll ever know.

When I heard of Lisa passing it was like a hole punched in my heart. Although Lisa and I had not seen each other for many years, she was often in my thoughts. I remember her as a kind and generous friend. There were so many times that she was there when I needed a friend, not because I asked but because she just knew and was the first one to offer help. I wish I was able to tell her how much I appreciated her just once more. She is gone too soon, and will be missed. To Steve and Sean and Alison, her sisters,and family, I am so sorry for your loss. She was blessed with a loving family. In the end we remember the love. She gave so much, and was loved dearly.

So very sad to hear of Lisa's passing. It's been awhile since I've spoken to her. I too have very fond memories of her when we attended St. Francis. She had a beautiful smile, and was one of the kindest. God bless her family. May God bless & keep you all in his loving care.

I cannot express my sadness for Lisa's immediate family on their sudden loss. Although I haven't spoken to Lisa for many years, she was a very kind soul and I appreciate all the help she provided to my Dad, her Uncle Rick, while he was alive. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
