Words can not express how sorry I am to hear of Lisa’s passing. Lisa was such a sweet person and so very kind hearted and someone I definitely considered a friend. I pray for peace for Kevin and the rest of the family during this difficult time. May the beautiful memories you have of Lisa help heal your hearts during this difficult time.
We are truly sorry for the loss of this beautiful girl I’ve known her all her life she was a kind sweet person may god find a way to heal this unbelievable pain❤️🙏🙏
To the family of my good, true friend Lisa and to Kevin. My heart is in so much pain and I cannot express my sympathy enough. Lisa was the first person (and one of the only) my daughter Jordyn would go to as a baby and Lisa NEVER let me forget it! She watched my kids grow up and they adored her. When we had the band she was our biggest advocate and PR person. And I always told her she missed her true calling as a comedian. The laughs we had were too many to count. I always knew she was strong and tough on the exterior which she proved in her valiant fight against this horrible undignified disease but she was warm and loving on the inside. I told her I was so proud of how she was fighting. She was so strict and disciplined but God had another plan. I know that even now she is joking about how this all went down. In fact, she’s probably saying, “O.K. I’m good let’s stop making a big deal about this.” I will forever hear her voice in my head and she will forever be in the hearts of my family and me. Our condolences and our love and support are with you always.
Robyn DiNatale and family
Sorry for your loss.
Though I do not know your loved one, I am touched by your loss. Too young! So I extend my heartfelt condolences for the loss of your beloved, Lisa. Please know that Jehovah God and his son Jesus Christ is aware of your pain and they care for you. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) . I hope that you are able to find some comfort in God’s promise of paradise where there will be no more pain and sorrow (Revelation 21:4,5) and the many wonderful memories of your loved one becoming a reality in the future resurrection in paradise. (Acts 24:15). Please accept my sincere condolences.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the whole family. I just found out today, and I would of gone to the funeral if I knew sooner. (((((HUGS))))) I knew Lisa and Kevin from all the way back at Ridge Road Elementary School.
I’m so sorry for your loss, I hope you all can find comfort in knowing that God is with those who are broken hearted and soon he will bring our loved ones who have passed away back to us (Psalm 34:18, Revelation 21:3,4).
