Feeling very sad that we did not connect until now.
Lisa is definately at peace now and can be with her Daddy now.
Lisa was always a joy to be around and her smile did light up the room.
I was so sorry to hear of Lisa’s passing. She and I graduated from Chisholm together. I sat next to her in English class where I really got to know what a kind person she was. I am so sorry for your loss. She was a strong, brave person who will not be forgotten. God bless you all.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Lisa and I went to school together and I always remember Lisa with a smile on her face!
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Lisa will be missed; she was a wonderful person!
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. I graduated with Lisa, I really didn’t know her that well but what I did know she was well liked and was always with a smile. May God carry all of you through this time. I have lost a lot of wonderful people in my life. My faith and trust in the Lord has given me peace with all the losses.
As we Irish like to say, may the road rise to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back, and may God hold you in the hollow in his hand. God Bless you, Lisa.
God Took Another Angel Home.
You laid there in that hospital bed, you tried so hard to hold on.
God was calling you home. He needed another angel to help pour out the rain.
Tears have fallen, hearts were shattered, but it was time for you to fly home.
Your loved ones came to say their last goodbyes, to tell you that they loved you and that you will be forever missed.
As your heart beat stopped, and your eyes slowly closed, God took another angel home.
My heart goes out to all of Lisa’s family. She will be missed dearly by all who knew her. I will always remember the times we had when we were younger and the conversations we had earlier this year. We will continue them again someday….
I was very sorry to hear of your loss.
May God be with you and yours.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. She has gone home to be with her family. She fought a good fight for a long time. Another loved one will be truly missed. Wish we could have been with you during this time. She will always be in our hearts and our prayers. May God watch over all of you. We love you all.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Sorry to hear of the great loss of Lisa. She fought a hard battle for many years and will be greatly missed. She will now join her loved ones in heaven. So sorry we could not be with you during this time, but you were in our hearts and in our prayers. We love you all.
I am so saddened by the loss of such a beautiful and wonderful person. My heart goes out to all of Lisa’s family and friends. I hope the days ahead bring you comfort and peace. I am so sorry that I did not know until now, I wish I had been there. She will be greatly missed by so many people.
Love and prayers,
Angie
