I just learned of Lisa's passing. I am in shock of such an untimely passing for such an amazing person. I have so many amazing memories of Lisa from when we were kids at St Rose. There was never another person that was such a sweet kind loving individual and it was just so obvious even at such a young age. You will certainly be missed by all the lives which you touched. Rest in peace. more ›
