The Lavin family has always been one full of heart. It saddens us all to see this wonderful family's heart broken by the sudden loss of Lisa. Lisa and her family have touched so very many people's lives over the years (and continue to do so). It is my hope that the Lavins know and feel the deep affection so many people have for them. Our warm thoughts, feelings, support and love are there for them in this, their time of need, and always. We are there for them to help heal this family’s heart.



Lisa left us much, much too soon for reasons we may never understand, but she will forever be in the heart & mind of every person she touched.

Cathy and Donna and I attended school together for years at Mother Guerin. Though I didn't know Lisa as well as her sisters, I come from a family of 4 girls and know how devastated I would be if I lost one of my sisters. So, Cathy and Donna, my sincere condolences and heartfelt compassion for you and your families during this difficult time, sincerely, Ruth Gutowski Mueller

My deepest sympathy to the Lavin & Pearson family. Lisa was full of life and lived her's to the fullest. She was an inspiration to all of us.

I will never forget our ritual when we walked to school. Lisa started by picking up Dodi, then Kim and I, then we would all go to pick up Adrienne and Kelly before finally walking to school. She also kept us laughing all the way home from school.

We also had the first girls basketball team at Borgia. We lost every game but we had fun and learned a lot.

She was always smiling and was a wonderful person to be around. I will truly miss her but I have wonderful memories of her that will live on in my heart.
