Lisa King-Johnson Obituary

Took my HS students to visit the museum and pay respects to you and all those who lost their lives on that day. We will continue to remember and share the love you brought to world.

Today I took a group of my HS to visit the museum and pay respect to you and all those who lost their lives on that tragic day. They were in tears and promised to keep the memory of that day in their heart. I met your daughter last summer and I know you are keeping watch over her, she is a beautiful young lady. Know that you are always in the thoughts and prayers of your family and friends❤

RIP Lisa Love Amar

Happy Birthday in Heaven

Remembered. God bless your family

Lisa, It has been 15 years and you will never be forgotten. To your family members and friends, my thoughts are with you today. With much regards.

Lisa it's been so long. I clearly remember you inviting me to your wedding. The first one you asked me to be a bridesmaid. I was never asked by anyone other thAn. I felt honored and proud to wear the ugly peach dress lol. I miss you and think of you often. I am glad I wasn't there to see you get married it would've been just hard to hAve that as my my last memory of you. I miss you and think of you always

Hi Lisa,
It's been a long time. It's been 32 years since we first met in 1983 you were 17. Although we parted ways 30 years ago, I'm still remembering the days of innocence, going to the store with Jamie tagging along. She was like my little sister. Remembering when you first cooked pernel and you brought back canepas from Puerto Rico. I'll never forget the memories. Rest in peace my friend.

In memory
With Honor & Respect.

Hi my beautiful wife lisa. I long for the day to hold you again. To feel your kiss. To never let go again. Evert day you are on my mind. It has been an eternity since I saw your beautiful smile. Your amazing blue eyes. Your love for me. We will be together one day soon. Please look over me while we are apart. You have been an amazing guardian angel. Please help me thru this difficult time I am going thru right now. I am so alone. Please ask God to reunite me with my family. You are always in my heart forever until I can hold you once again. All.my love lisa. Jim

Rest in peace Lisa. You will always be in our hearts.

We're all thinking of you on this sad day. Even though we didn't know you very long you truly were a good friend, wife and mother. Until we all meet again rest in peace Lisa. The Marsh Family

My maiden name, at the time you died, was Lisa King. I did not know you, it was purely coincidence. Someone contacted me when they saw your name among those lost. Knowing that a woman, close to the same age, bearing the same name, lost her life in this senseless tragedy, drew me even closer to the enormity of what had happened. You could have been me. I could have been you. I've never forgotten you, Lisa. And as we remember this somber anniversary again in 2013, I just wanted to say that I'll never, ever forget you, either. Rest in peace, and peace be with your friends and family.

I worked with Lisa for many years and think of her every 9/11. Today I googled her name and so many wonderful tributes came up, including this guest book. Very nice to find - she and her family are in my thoughts today.

rest in peace

God Bless!

Lisa, I am sitting here waiting to hear your name as I have done for the past ten years. Its still so surreal. It was months before I found out you were gone. When we parted ways at Scholastic we kept in touch. You would send me a picture of the girls EVERY Christmas. Christmas came and went and there was no picture. I went searching and found all the pictures you had sent from previous holidays and I had not received one for Christmas 2001. Lisa my heart sank. I then called Pam and she confirmed that you did not make it. You were such a beautiful person with a heart of gold. My fondest memory of our friendship was when you held my hand all the way to Boulder Colorado for a Scholastic Trade Show because I was afraid to fly. You talked me out of the ladies room after I locked myself in a stall refusing to board the plane. You gave me a choice 4 hours on the plane or 3 days on the train. You took my hand and we boarded that plane and you kept me calm the entire flight. Ironic isn't it. After the 9/11 attacks you know I was not boarding a plane. After much prayer and thinking about what was taken from us, Lisa I fly today as often as I can because it gives me a sense of freedom and I think of you every time I do. Its one thing when your fear is your own, but when it is forced upon you in a way that brings upon unbearable pain you just want to fight back. I continue to pray for you, your girls and your family.

Thinking of you 10yrs later.

Working with Lisa was a joy. I can still see her face filled with kindness, understanding and a quick story about her girls. Lisa, I miss you and feel honored that we shared those hours. I think of your girls often, and know in my heart you are looking out for them.

Wade Wagner

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever. Hey sis, I can't believe it has been seven years, I still miss you. Your girls have gotten so big, you can be so proud of them. Jesse is on her way to college soon and katie is becoming a little lady. I love you!

Happy Birthday!!!

Lisa was a great person, and I still think about her from time to time.

In memory....

As I cross-stitched your name on the memorial that I am doing for all of the victims, I prayed for you and your family. Please know that your death was not in vain. We will always remember. God Bless.

Hello Lisa,



You are still in my heart. I see your girls and think of you all of the time. I miss you and hope you are dancing away up there. I can't believe another year has past. You are always in my thoughts and in my prayers. Your Friend always. Kathy XO

Dear Lisa,



How do I start. I cant believe that I will never see you again. Time had past and there you were. I cant believe you have gone. Lisa, I want to start be saying how sad I was when I got the news that you were gone. I keep thinking it had to be wrong. I cry so hard when I knew it was true. I will miss you. Even though we did not see each other alot. Lisa, I see Jessy and Katie. They have gotten to be so big. You would be really proud of them. I know it is hard for them. I know what it is like not having a mom to be there for you. But let me tell you Pat is doing a great job staying in touch with them. She makes sure she is there if they need anything. Lisa, I think of you often. I just want to say the world is sadder because you are not in it anymore. Thanks for being a good friend. I will always think of you and always smile when I look up at the heavens and think of you. Your friend always, Kathy



P.S. I hope your dancing a fast song up there!!

Dear Lisa,

I didn't know you but my family did. I only remember you from our visits to Puerto Rico when we visited your dad. May God bless you always and your daughters. I know your family misses you. We'll pray for your daughters always for God in heaven to keep them safe and happy. Our thoughts are with your family always.

Dear Lisa,

Although I didn't know you well, only having met you twice. Ironically the first time was my wedding and the second was at your wedding to Jimmy. When I met you I had a feeling you were a good person and that you were good for Jimmy and made him happy. In fact the morning after my wedding after we all had breakfast together, I told Jimmy not to let you go. That you were a keeper. Your wedding was so beautiful as were you. I have never seen Jimmy so happy before. It is so tragic that you had to be taken from him after such a short time. I pray for you and your daughters and Jim every day. I wish I could do more, I wish I could take the pain away for Jimmy. He loved you so much and it broke my heart to see him go through the horror and pain of facing his life without you. May you rest in peace and know you were truly loved.



Love and prayers, Vicky Marsh

Lisa,



Because of you, I got a temp job at Scholastic. You were the first person I met that day. Because of you, I met my husband, who also worked at Scholastic. You befriended me and stood by me through some pretty rough times. You always saw the bigger picture and always believed that it was God's blessing when life took sudden turns. I lost touch with you for a while. I had just gotten your new work number from Kara. I was moving from NY to GA and didn't call. "I'll call when I get settled". I should have called. I will remember the day we went for an ultrasound and I drank all of that water. You laughed so hard at me.... I will remember you always. God bless to you and to your beautiful daughters and to your family. May you now have peace always.

Your friend always.

Lisa,

It's me your loving sister. I miss you so much. My life will never be the same without you. I remember all the times you were thier for me and now I will always be thier for youe girls. Erik loves and misses you deeply. We will be reunited again someday and embrace for all time. I love you.

I just wanted your family to know that our church planted tiny flags on the lawn of our church this week with the names of each 9/11 victim and I took several of these to share with some of the people in my office. We have been praying for your family all week and Mrs. Nicole Amare (one of the sweetest English teachers at our University) has Lisa's flag and is praying for your family in particular. All our prayers are with you at this time. God bless you all.

Dear Lisa,

It has been one year since you were taken from us all and there isn't a day that goes by that we don't think about you. Katie and Jessica seem to be doing well. They miss you so much and have so much of your spirit in them. Nina, Gregory and I went to the NY Acquarium with them in early August and we had a great time together. Nina & Katie seem to adore one another, I'm just sorry we didn't get to see more of you and the girls. We have the wonderful memories of your wedding to Jim and when you and the girls came to Gregory's Communion last year. Your mom is doing okay. She moved to Putnam County earlier this year and got a new job. She's much happier now. Jaime was accepted into Nursing School. I know you would be so proud of her.

The one last thing that I can't seem to forget is all the wonderful summers we spent with Aunt Carole, you, Dawn and Mike in Virginia Beach in the mid 70's. Particularly the year that Grandma made us girl cousins (the four of us) all the same dresses. Didn't we look good!!

We miss you, love you and will never forget you.

Love always, cousin Melissa.

Dear Lisa!

My best memory of you was from your wedding.

You were so beautiful and looked so happy to be spending the rest of your life with your Jim.

Except for when the photographer stepped on your veil and pulled it off. You were furious at him. Then later on you laughed about it too. We still have laughs about that.

Its been so hard to see Jim. He has been lost without you. It also has been hard to see your girls. Katie looks so much like you.

You will always be in our hearts,Lisa.

DEAR LISA,WE HAVE NEVER MET,..WHOS TO SAY IF WE MAY SOME DAY AT ANOTHER TIME ANOTHER PLACE.YOU LEFT THIS LIFE SO EARLY AND I KNOW QUICK FOR THE ANGELS CAME TO YOU AND HELD YOU FACE AND TOLD YOU NOT TO WORRY,THIS IS JUST ANOTHER BEGINNING.YOU ARE A STAR IN THE UNIVERSE NOW OF ALL COLORS ..I WILL THINK OF YOU OFTEN..

LK,

What can I say Lisa? I miss you and Muriel very much. Again I find myself feeling so guilty not being there that day to help the both of you. All our memories, good times (too many to mention and friendship will live in my heart everyday. I think our friendship still lives through Jim and it helps the both of us cope. I know I will see you one day again. I love you LK.

It seems as though I met you so many many years ago...and yet, with September 11th, it feels like only yesterday with the blink of an eye. Lisa, I consider myself fortunate to have met you and share in several company Christmas holiday parties together. I think of you so very often and my thoughts, prayers and tears surface in memory of you and to your loved ones. I know God has blessed you and aided you in finding peace. This is in warm memory of you. Amen.

Dear Lisa, not a single day has gone by that I haven't thought of you and your family and I doubt that one ever will again. You are in my heart, my thoughts, my prayers. Planted 34 rose bushes in my garden last month to always remind me of you. They are already blooming:) God Bless you and your family always.

I did not know you or anyone else who lost their life that day. I remember watching TV and your family searching for you. I am so sorry that you where unable to be returned safely to them. May God Bless you and the family and friends that you left behind that have to go on without you. Rest in his loving peace forever more. You will never be forgotten.

I'm wearing a Mercy Band with Lisa M.King-Johnson's name. It reminds me to pray for her family daily. To remember their broken hearts and ask the Lord for their comfort and peace and watch care over them. CJB

Lisa will never be forgotten. My extended family prays for Jim, the children and all those who can offer help on a day to day basis.

I saw Jim the other day walking Tiffany down the block, and it was good to see him home. I still find myself scanning the block for you and the girls on mild afternoons, and expect to see you at any moment - following after Katie and she, Erika and Zach try to knock themselves unconscious slamming their tricyles down my driveway. It just isn't the same without you, your easy laughter and comfortable smile. I saw Katie a while back, she has grown like a wild weed. Still absolutely stunning, a miniature of your beauty and grace, five going on thirty! My heart aches for your girls, and for Jim and especially for you - stolen from them much too soon. Rest easy, knowing that you laid for them a foundation of love and strength - memories of endless days along the shore, bright and sunny and filled with laughter. You will live on inside them, and inside each of us that were lucky enough to have shared moments of your life, all too brief. You are missed, you are loved and you will never be forgotten,

Altough it's been a long time since we parted ways. You will always have a special place in my heart and mind.

DEAR GOD SHINE YOUR LIGHT ON THIS BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN LISA M.KING-JOHNSON AND MAY HER SOUL REST IN PEACE WITH GOD AND HIS ANGELS..GOD BLESS HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS..GOD BLESS AMERICA AND NEW YORK AND MAY WE NEVER FORGET 9/11/01..MAY JESUS GREET YOU AT THE GATES OF HEAVEN..AMEN

mes condoléence pour les familles des victimes

Spending Christmas With Jesus

(My First Christmas In Heaven)



I see the countless Christmas trees

around the world below

With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.



The sight is so spectacular,

please wipe away the tear

For I am spending Christmas with

Jesus Christ this year.



I hear the many Christmas songs

that people hold so dear

But the sounds of music can't compare

with the Christmas choir up here.



I have no words to tell you,

the joy their voices bring,

For it is beyond description,

to hear the angels sing.



I know how much you miss me,

I see the pain inside your heart.

But I am not so far away,

We really aren't apart.



So be happy for me, dear ones,

You know I hold you dear.

And be glad I'm spending Christmas

with Jesus Christ this year.



I sent you each a special gift,

from my heavenly home above.

I sent you each a memory

of my undying love.



After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold.

It was always most important

in the stories Jesus told.



Please love and keep each other,

as my Father said to do.

For I can't count the blessing or love he has for each of you.



So have a Merry Christmas and

wipe away that tear.

Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I met you Febr.2001, with you two daughters and husband. I was visiting my daughter in Belle Harbor. I am deeply shocked and sorry. Peace be with you.

America Cries

We see your sorrow-

and our hearts cry....

We can not erase your pain

but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-

-the American people-

are beside you.

We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,

the strength that gives you courage,

and the words to lighten your spirits.

And when we are left speechless

may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts

to ease your sorrow.

May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-

-the American people-

face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn
