I’ve known Lisa for the 15 years. Met her at Hardings when I first moved here. We grew our friendship over the years and became very close and always checked on each others ailments when we crossed paths. I’m saddened to hear of her passing but happy she is in a better place and out of pain. My condolences to her family she will be greatly missed.

I am so sorry to hear of this loss. Lisa was a second mother to be throughout my entire childhood, as I spent more time at her home than my own. Lots of laughter, advice, and fun whenever I was with her. As I got older, she always made sure to check in on me and beamed with pride as if she was my mother. Deepest and most sincere condolences to the entire family.

I have known Lisa for over 20 years. Sorry we grew apart but the memories of all the fun times and laughs we had have always and will always be here. I am so thankful she met Ken and was able to enjoy children in her life. She often told how she wish she could have her own. She loved Ken very much.
REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND. ♥
