Christine and Family,
Please accept my sincere condolences. I’m sorry I cannot attend services. I met Lisa at Raylyns birthday and had a beautiful conversation with her and Angela. She had an ease of spirited beauty and joy and I looked forward to seeing them again. I told her I heard of the amazing food she and Angela brought (which got raves) during the holidays. I pray for all who loved her and for their comfort. Words seem empty when death happens especially so sudden. I will send my Love to all of you and envision the joyful love she lived in Spirit in her memory. May your Memories of her support her beautiful Life and meaning she has in your hearts.
Sincerely,
Audrey and Giles Bennett

Lisa your loss has emptied my heart. Having one sister I am so blessed it was you. I will see you and mom and dad and the rest of our family in the kingdom of the Lord and we shall be together again eternally.
Soar with the dragonflies and I will see you soon. Xxox
I am at a loss for words. Lisa was one of dearest friends and neighbor, Tony and I could ask for. When we left Connecticut in 1992 and I was transferred to Arizona, our once frequent get together’s was put on hold and unfortunately, our communication level faded as well. Nonetheless, Lisa, Angel, Di Di and others never left our thoughts. I just came off of Lisa’s FB page and was inspired by the way she lived life and how very much she loved her family and friends. And yes….she was a Super-Master Chef. It took me years to lose the few pounds she contributed over the time I lived in Connecticut (10 years). For those who, like Angel and others who were there when she passed, know that you were blessed the most. You were with each other – together, when her journey here ended and her journey to Heaven began. I wish that I had been one of the lucky one’s to have been able to share in that tearful, yet joyful adventure. Believe me, everyone of your guardian Angel’s transmitted your love to her as they took her to eternal life and now, upon their return to you – they brought back her memories of her for you to find comfort and love for the days to come until you shall meet again. From all of the written, spoken and heartfelt testimony’s I’ve read….Lisa love each and all of you very much and you her. Don’t ever abandoned that gift from her heart. Lisa….keep the light on and the Pasta and sauce warm. Amen.
