Love and Light

Unexpectedly, and oh so unfairly, Lisa has died.

This is her friend Kim posting on her behalf.

She was doing great physically and spiritually, and yet she went to bed on Wednesday night and did not wake up again.  We don't know exactly why or how.

Word has spread throughout her vast community and many people are making donations to her Team In Training effort to raise money for leukemia research.  She had been training for a half marathon in January.  That information can be found here, and you can donate in lieu of flowers if you wish.

Lisa is now love and light.  She is all around us.

This news is so unexpected. I have enjoyed following her through her surgeries, recovery, and training. She was so joyful. She will be missed.

I am shocked and so sad to hear this. I can't wrap my head around it all. I wish her family and friends strength during this extremely difficult time. My words fall short and my heart just hurts.

Like all of you who have followed Lisa through her blog, I have marveled at her determination and achievements. She inspired me to work through my own difficulties.I am so saddened for her family and friends. I will remember her winning spirit. I will miss reading about her.

As a long time family friend who has known Lisa from the day she was born, I can only say that I have never met a more beautiful person in the true meaning of the word. When I learn of the funeral arrangements I will post them here. Also if you wish, I can let you know via e-mail. My e-mail is: vpsicily@aol.com. Vince Scott
