It is hard to believe that it has been this long since your passing. I think about you and the great times we had in Kingsville. Lots of laughs while the guys were out fishing. Good memories. You have such a kind heart and soft manner and will be missed always!

Lisa was a great friend to Les and I. I was just stunned to find this when I Googled her name. We had been trying to find Lisa (and Tim) for several years unsucessfully. We really had some wonderful times over the years in Kingsville and I am overcome with sadness at this very personal loss for me - seems like yesterday that she had sent me the great picture of her and her dad. God bless her children, her former spouses (Tim we know and love you so much), her parents. We never did take that trip to LV but you will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Love to you... Amy and Les Tiller (formerly from Kingsville, TX).

This is for Steven. He and I have been friends since were very young (about 7 or 8) and even though we have not been in close contact lately, I still and will always consider him to be a good friend. I want to tell him, Tim, and his grandma Juanita how very sorry and saddened I am to hear about the death of his mom. She was always so nice to all of us boys and we always had so much fun at their house and at my grandma's. We were also Boy Scouts together in the same troop here in Kingsville. Even though I will not be able to attend the funeral because I will be working, my heart and prays will be with Steven and the rest of his family. Steven, call me at my grandma's house and leave a message on the Voice Mail if no one answers the phone. My grandpa has been very very ill since the 7th of January and my grandma has been spending a lot of time with him at the hospitals (Shoreline and Dr's Regional)in Corpus but she does come home from time to time and takes all the messages off the Voice Mail. We really need to do some catching up! Richard Dyer

I had the privilege of meeting Lisa when I moved to Falfurrias to teach there. I would go visit WL and Juanita and I had Susan as a student both in junior high and high school. After I moved I had to judge at Falfurrias and Lisa came by the band hall to see meet me again after being gone for some time. My condolences to Lisa's family and to Susan and Al. Condolences and prayers are with you all. Solomon Banda Jr (San Antonio, Tx)

What a shock, but viewing all of these pictures showed me that Lisa loved and was loved. With her passing, she has left her legacy to her children, family and friends. I am so sorry for your loss, but God sure has a special angel in heaven with him now.

I work with Susan at UT Austin and over the years have heard many stories about the Ayers family. I met Lisa a number of times at family events for Becca and Elise. I know Lisa was a special person to the family, and I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope the good memories you share will bring you some comfort in the times ahead.
