My heart is heavy for the loss of my dear high school friend. I pray for all of you during this time of loss. I hope Chuck and Suzie know that you were a gift from God to Lisa for your love and devotion. Lisa was so much fun and loved to laugh..I can see her right now dancing in the basement at Fort Knox being so silly while all of her sisters and I laughed until our stomachs ached. Love you Lisa. I know you are at peace now and you are dancing with the angels !!!
