We knew Lisa as a little girl growing up on Valley Drive. We moved into our home in Aug. 1988 and she became an immediate friend for our daughter Anne. Later on, she was a role model for our boys, Brian, Stephen , Patrick and Scott. She taught them "becon", some type of game of tag that became a noisey, nightly ritual at our house. She played at our home and I hope, had a lot of fun at our home. We lost contact after she moved away, but she will forever remain in our hearts the little girl on Valley Drive.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, her family at this time.
Sharon, Bob, Anne, Brian, Stephen, Patrick and Scott Heaney
Lloyd and I extend heartfelt sympathy to the family. We knew Lisa when she was in high school. She was a sweet girl and a wonderful daughter and granddaughter. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
Sincerely,

I had the distinct pleasure of working with "Little" Lisa, as I called her, for a brief time at Devon Tile. She was bright, sweet, thoughtful and caring. I always looked forward to seeing her each morning. I remember how she was so excited when she found out about Maya – a true blessing. It broke my heart to hear of her illness and I have included her in my prayers every day. May God send you His blessings of peace and comfort during this difficult time and know that Lisa is now safe in his arms. God Bless.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this most difficult time. To lose a loved one is never easy but to lose someone who is so young and vital is even more difficult. One can only take solace in the precious times that were shared. We are only here on loan and then we are taken back to be with God. May you find some peace and comfort in this knowledge and know that many are thinking of you.
Josh,
My deepest sympathy in the passing of Lisa. Every time I would come to the house, Lisa would always have a smile on her face. She handled her illness with grace and courage. Please know that you and Maya are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
Sincerely,
