Lisa gave me my first job when I was 16 at FoodMart. It was just a summer job, so just a couple of months, but even though it is now more than 35 years later, I have always remembered her. She made an indelible mark as a caring, warm and smart leader who invested time in the interests and wellbeing of other people. I’m so sorry to read this news and I pray for Lisa and her family.
I will/We will all miss you. You impacted all of us and we all loved you dearly. Life will not be the same without you.
We are so sorry your loss ! Prayers and love to you sal and your family god bless 🙏🙏
