They will greatly miss their Nana as they hold steadfast to her memory.

Lisa was a treasure to all who knew her. Her quick wit, sense of humor, intelligence, and determination made her a respected member of her family and the community. Lisa's fiery will and strength persisted as she dealt with the disease of MS for the past 15 years. Lisa handled herself with grace, pose, and kindness. Words cannot express how much she will be missed. Her family vows to keep her memory alive and will cherish always the time they were blessed to spend with her here on Earth. Lisa's family knows she is with the Lord now and is at peace.

Heaven has a new treasure and her family here on Earth has a new Angel to look after and protect them. Lisa will always be in their hearts and on their minds. We love, honor, and miss you Lisa; Beloved Wife, Mother, and Nana.
