I met Lisa a few years back. We became karaoke friends. She had bubbly personality. Very kind hearted young woman. She had such a beautiful voice. She will be greatly missed.

So so sorry to hear of Lisa’s passing. I was lucky enough to have known her as we worked together for many years. Even though she moved to another floor we still saw each other almost every morning. I will miss her greeting of “hey lady” in the elevator to me. I am Praying for Lisa’s husband and her family. Rest in Heaven Lisa. You will be greatly missed.

I will miss Lisa very much. She had a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone and put her friends before she thought of herself.

Such a loving, giving, true heart 💜…Lisa was the most genuine person I’ve ever known. Always encouraging never judgmental. Although we let life get in the way of keeping in touch over the years the world today seems a little dimmer knowing she’s not here….heaven gained a true angel ❤️
