Her smile was contagious and I know you will miss her warmth and positive attitude. I know she battled hard for you and for her loved ones these past few years. Hold faith that we will all get to see her again someday and hold comfort that you now have her as an angel looking over you. My heart grieves for you and for her beautiful children, mother & father and brother & sister that she leaves behind. Please let a little bit of her live thru your continued life and relish those wonderful memories you all created. She was lucky to have you and your strength.

Jeannie McCarthySO sad that Lisa was taken from us all WAY too soon! She was such a great human being, and always smiling! I've been praying steadily for her for the past few years and will continue to pray for both her and all of her family. I was so very glad to have been able to visit with her at the hospice for about an hour. Lisa will be so sadly missed by so many. Joel, Joel Jr., Heidi, and all the rest of Lisa's family will remain in my prayers. As I think someone else mentioned on Facebook. Heaven will be reverberating with laughter now that Lisa's there! Lisa's the best Angel EVER! So glad I was able to know Lisa. We'll all see her again!

Kathy MarksDear Family OMG!!!! I am shocked to hear of the death of my new found friend Lisa. We met two years ago when I was searching for a new home. Was going to buy her father in laws condo, but monies were not available. We immediately had a connection, our courage, attitudes were so much alike that we had many talks and supported each other in life situations. She became my realitor to sell my home until she had to go on medical leave. Her vibrant personality and genuine concern for people will never be forgotten. We had many good laughs and cries together and I am sad to have my friend leave me. My sincere condolences go out to her family at this very hard time. she was a strong woman and fought hard. She is now at peace and with god. God bless all of you. Kathy Marks
