Marlowe, David, Julie, Sheila, Marlene, and all of Lisa's extended family,
My most distinct memory of Lisa is how animated she would get when she would talk about DMB, and how she would try to get Marlowe to become an equally raving fan. The love and the banter were a neat thing to watch. Her joy for life was infectious and her laughter contagious, and days she happened to be in the office were brighter just because she was there.
I can only pray that the millions of happy memories of Lisa that you treasure in your heart will help you through the difficult times. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Julie and Mr. & Mrs. Klitzky,
I knew Lisa through my good friend Julie, and I grieve for all of your grief. Julie, I found myself thinking about you literally hours before a friend of a friend here in D.C. told me your sister was sick. Your laugh has always been contagious, and I hope you are able to find it in these trying times and light up your parents' faces they way you always lit up mine.
Much love.

I didn't know Lisa well and haven't seen her in years, but for some reason can vividly picture her walking with a big smile through the hallways of Stevenson High School. My deepest condolences to the Klitzky's and all Lisa's friends and family.

We are deeply saddened to hear of your daughter's death. Our family has prayed for her while she was sick and we pray for her now and we also pray for your family during these painful times. I personally did not know her, my wife Marilou said that she was a very happy and courageous young girl full of life. My son Michael knew her from High School and said that she was liked by everyone with a fantastic personality. If we can do anything, anthing at all. We live right across the street from you. Please do not hesitate. Even just to talk. They say that there is a camaraderie between people who have lost children. The pain is so great that there are no words to describe it. We lost two children to cancer (Amy & Kristine (11 & 18), in 1985 and 1988. God Bless, Marilou, Rich, Laura, Richard Jr., Michael & our two angels Kristine and Amy.

My thoughts are with you! As I didn't know Lisa I have no doubt that she made an incredible impact in the lives of many (and it shows through the words written in this guest book). Try and go through your moments with the knowledge that the love you have for Lisa will never leave but only strengthen. Show the love you have for her to all you encounter.
Strength and spirit are from within you...may you dig deep and find all you possess!

I am thankful for the few days I was able to spend with Lisa, Julie, and David on their ski trip one winter. I enjoyed sharing in their fun and I could see the special relationship David had with both his beautiful daughters.
I share in your grief and send you my deepest love and sympathy.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Lisa and spending so much time with her while at UW. She is the nicest, sweetest, good natured person I have yet to meet. She simply is "As good as it gets". Unfortunately we lost touch as I went to grad school, but she always had and always will have a special place in my heart. My warmest wishes and deepest regrets to all of her family and friends.

I never met Lisa, but I know that David & Marlow's children were the
love of their lives. What a lucky
girl to have had the deepest love parents can give a child. She made a
difference in this world and will be
missed by all who knew her and loved her.
Wishing the Klitzky family strength and togetherness - and may the happiest of memories surround you.

I cannot say how sorry I am to hear of Lisa's passing...she was a sweet and wonderful person, that lit up a room when she was in it. To her family; know that the love you showed her was felt by everyone around you. I can honestly say I have never seen a family as loving as David, Marlowe, Lisa and Julie. Even though her body has left you, her spirit will always be a part of you and your family. Lisa holds your hands during this difficult time, and will throughout your lives. She will be deeply missed yet remembered fondly ALWAYS, by everyone who knew her. My deepest sympathy and kind thoughts are with you.

I was a friend of Lisa's from Wisconsin and remember meeting Lisa for the first time. Lisa was there for everyone and always had a kind word to say. She had the sweetest smile and laugh. She always made sure people felt important and had the kindest heart. I feel so sorry for her loss and know that she will be deeply missed. My condolences go out to all of her family and friends.

I will never forget the first time I met her. And like all of us-the times we shared. Lisa was blessed with a gift. And whether or not we slowed down and took notice, she showed it to us-each and every one of us.
She was the smile that we all came to her for.
And I adored her for that.

I feel gifted for having known Lisa, for having felt comfort in her incredible hugs, for sharing in her heartfelt laughter, for getting to know each incredible part of her, for watching her imagination unfold in her creativity and for being her friend.
Lisa touched the hearts of all who knew her. She had a gift of bringing smiles to every part of one's being. She will continue to touch and inspire me...although her physical presence will be missed beyone measure.
My deepest sympathy to all of her family and friends.

When a child comes into your life, it fills a special place inside your heart. Surely a star was dancing above when Lisa arrived, and through her remarkable inspiration,courage,strength,love and life. Let the brightest star above remind you of her smile, grace and peace.
In a place full of light, full of grace, full of family. May it bring all of you some serenity to know that the one you love, knows only peace now. My thoughts, blessings and prayers are with you and your family.
Love & God Bless You.

I miss Lisa terribly, but I try to remember the fun, not dwell on the sadness. Lisa would've been the one holding us and trying to cheer us up. She was loving and was in turned loved by more than she'll ever know. A light so bright cannot die, it will be carried on within us all. My love goes out to all of Lisa's family and friends.

One can never express enough at a time like this. I knew Lisa from work at Grayscale. She was the heart of the place; the only shining spot. The hours were long, the work hard and the experience not always pleasant. But, Lisa made it fun. Her infectious joy crept into the darkness and made it tolerable, even pleasant. We are all better people for knowing her.

I am overwhelmed with disbelief and sorrow, not only because you have left us but because you had everything going for you and it taken away from you so soon, you will be missed deeply, not only by me, but mostly by your family. I only knew you a short time, but I feel I've lost a family member and let me tell you how broken hearted I am. God Bless You and Your family.
