Lisa was a very special person. My heart goes out to the family. She was caring and a friend to my son. I know she liked Santa Clauses and whenever I see one I think of her. She has been welcomed into heaven and her memory will always be with us.

Lisa always put others before herself. I was blessed to have known her the past nine years. We talked, laughed, argued, cried and I will cherish every moment. My favorite memory of her was having application keying wars when we worked on the weekends to see who could key the most apps. I will miss her so very much. Rest with the Angels Lisa!
