A talented and determined perfectionist, Lisa's humanity outshined her considerable skills as a performer. I am a far better human being for having known her. My heart goes out to her loved ones. Peace. Be still.

Love.

Lisa and I met when we both started comedy together in the same class. Lisa was funny, charming and a pleasure to be around. Lisa was petite and walked with a cane. Her opening joke was, "I bet your wondering why I walk with a cane? Well because if I didn't I'd fall down." I loved her comedy set and she was very instrumental in me starting my comedy group to help raise money for local charities. The world will truly miss Lisa and I will miss her too. We are going to do a benifit comedy show for cancer research in Lisa's honor.

I'll always remember your kindness

I'll always remember your smile

I'll always remember your enthusiasm

For things you believed worth the while



I'll forever remember your friendship

And laughter that sang to my heart

I'll never forget you, Dear Lisa,

Not ever, though we are apart



Now I have yet another

Angel to watch over me

Please, give my best to my Mom and my Dad

You'll find them, they're easy to see



Just look for a guy like Ralph Kramden

And a gal like Lucille Ricardo

You may gossip and say whatever you'd like

'Cause I know you'll be guiding me morrow




I love you and I miss you. Last week I received in the mail the only photo of us in existence. Thanks Tony Maddox.



Be well my sweet friend.

Forever in my heart . . .

"As If We Never Said Goodbye"

from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard



I don't know why I'm frightened, I know my way around here

The cardboard trees the painted scenes, the sound here

Yes, a world to rediscover, but I'm not in any hurry

And I need a moment



The whispered conversations, in overcrowded hallways

The atmosphere, as thrilling here, as always

Feel the early morning madness, feel the magic in the making

Why, everything's as if we never said goodbye



I've spent so many mornings, just trying resist you

I'm trembling now, you can't know how, I've missed you

Missed the fairy tale adventures, in this ever spinning playground

We were young together



I'm coming out of makeup, the lights already burning

Not long until the cameras will start turning

And the early morning madness, and the magic in the making

Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye



I don't want to be alone, that's all in the past

This World's waited long enough, I've come home at last



And this time we'll be bigger, and brighter than we new it

So watch me fly, we all know I can do it

Could I stop my hand from shaking, has there ever been a moment

We're so much to live for



The whispered conversations, in overcrowded hallways

So much to say, not just today, but always

We'll have early morning madness, we'll have magic in the making

Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye



We taught the World, new ways to dream





My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you (and us) who benefitted so much from knowing one of God's most humble, talented, and tenacious creations. I will especially miss Lisa's enthusiasm for the arts, culture, and the human race.

Lisa was one of my dearest friends and the thought of losing her is extremely disturbing. She was like a sister to me and I will always love her. A rare talent and beauty is no longer here and that's a real gyp. Three words describe Lisa, "Precious, Precious, Precious." And three words (her words) describe how everyone felt about her personality, "We Lovett- Mann"! Be Well My Dear. Hugs and kisses to Alvin, Len & your loved ones. Forever in my thoughts and prayers.

Lisa's parting has left a void, take from her strength and courage, and fill it with remembered joys.

I was very sorry to hear of the life of such a young person ending and hope she is going on to a better

place.

Is this the Alvin Mann that lived on Morse Avenue in Skokie. If so, I would greatly appreciate it if you would get in touch with me.

My condolences to Alvin and Lisa's family. Heaven has gained such a talented and giving person. Let the world know Lisa gave of herself to anyone who needed it. Your concern over me as you had your own battle, was beyond human kindness. I will miss the sharing of our hopes, fears and dreams. I love you and miss you.

The conversations I had with Lisa via the phone~regarding acting and roles for the physically-challenged, sounded pretty militant to me...which brought a smile to my face. The way she spoke could also be seen as a woman with a passion for her gift~and for her life... ...my prayers are with you, the family, for your loss.

I served on the Other Voices advisory board with Lisa. I will miss her funny e-mails and her smart, lively stage presence. She gave a great deal to the Los Angeles theater community in her much too short time here.

In addition to being a good friend, Lisa was one of the most innovative performers I've ever worked with. Her fierce independence and staunch dedication to the disability community were inspiring. The artistic world will miss her and Kim and I will miss her too.
