I am going to miss my mother so very much. She was the strongest, brightest, and most caring woman that i will ever know. My most missed memory is when i am having a rough time and how she would pet my face with her finger tips till i would stop crying and fal asleep. Thank you SOOO much to all of our amazing family and friends who have been there for us during all of the hard struggles with this unfair disease.

My sincere sympathies and prayers to you Mark, Heidi and Lindsy. Through Lisa, I came to know your family. Lisa became a special friend of mine from the first time when she drew my blood from me at Park Nicollet and through all of our meetings together at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church. She gave so much love and concern for others. I too have been so blessed to have known her and will miss her greatly.
In Friendship, Gordon Hendrickson

Lisa was a very special lady. She was always a joy to be around no matter how she felt. May the Lord Bless her memory. I knew her from Park Nicollet. She always had a smile and she was such an inspiration for my husband when she was going thru chemo and radiation.
