Lisa was one of the nicest, sweetest women I knew. She always had a positive attitude. She helped me with raising my two sons wih autism and did everything from giving me educational materials she used with Mathew to getting us a scholarship to REaching Potentials, Inc. for my sons to get servces to help their autism for a whole year. She was a great mom to her children and told me how her husband John was so great when she got sick with cancer. Lisa, you will be missed.

My heart aches for your family and your immense loss. Lisa was truly one of a kind. Her gentle spirit and kind soul blessed anyone who was lucky enough to know her. I thank God for allowing me to be one of those lucky people. She was truly an inspiration and I will never forget her selfless and courageous attitude throughout this difficult illness. May God watch over you and the boys.

Lisa had such a strong faith in God and I will always admire her for that. She continued her battle with a positive attitude on a daily basis. She was a loving mother and wife, always putting her family first. She was definitely a beautiful person in so many ways!
Romans 14:8
If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
I love you Lisa...we will meet again!

I know that God called you up to Heaven to fulfill a greater mission. He chose you for a reason, one that is very hard for us to understand, but I have faith that we will find out someday. You lived your life as an angel and made the world a better place. Now, you are a Heavenly angel, shining down on us. It was a true honor to be good friends and neighbors with you for all of these years. I cherish every moment we spent together, even if it was just a quick few minutes of conversation out in front of our houses. I will never forget your gorgeous smile, and I can still hear your laugh and see you all dressed up, always wearing the cutest shoes! Your perseverance to keep fighting is truly inspiring. You will be in my heart forever.
I love you, Lisa.

Lisa was the first "mommy" I met when our boys were starting preschool together. She was an inspiration; someone who taught us how to live, always staying positive and keeping love in her heart. I will miss her beautiful smile that could light the day, through the darkest clouds. My love and prayers, as always, are with all of you, her family.

On our visits to Sal & Amy's, my wife and I were blessed in meeting Lisa and her family on a couple of occassions. She had a sparkle of love in her eyes as she pulled three little kids down Sal's driveway in a red wagon. May God Bless her family now & forever, Amen.

Lisa was such a beautiful light. Our children have been in school together for several years, and Lisa was always a source of strength and joy. I will miss you, my friend.

God looked around his garden & found an empty place.
He knew that you were suffering & in a lot of pain.
He saw your path was difficult & closed your tired eyes,
He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" & gave you wings to fly.
You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide.
You'll live on through your boys, always by their side.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone.
A part of us went with you on the day God called you home.

I only know Lisa from the stories Sal told me about her. But I do know she was one "loved" sister. Marty sends his sympathy too. So sorry for all of you with such a big loss.

The world as we know has lost a beautiful, kind and loving person such as Lisa. But the heavens have opened their gates to another "Angel". The memories I have of Lisa from my youth along with her family, Carmen and Juan (Juggie) will always allow me to keep her in my heart. Lisa...I hope you're looking down on us and keeping us all in your prayers as well. We will meet again some day. Love you...Lucy
