“Extending my heartfelt sympathy during this sorrowful time to Lisa’s family. As an employee in the Courthouse, I had the pleasure of working with and seeing Lisa everyday. She will truly be missed by all of us. God bless.”
” I’ve always loved you. Endings are always sad, but you were such a great joy. You readily accepted the milk stained bib, the used high chair and other hand-me-downs from your two older brothers. I recall how proud your dad and I were the day you were born; being the first grand-daughter in our family in 55 years. You were the one that we held onto so tightly. You were the link with our past and a reason for tomorrow. You quickened our step, brightened our smiles and restored our vision and gave us a sense of humor that security and maturity can’t provide. All through the years you have been my baby and will always be. I’ll meet you in heaven one fine day. Mama”
