Lisa was always a good friend to my mother. When I was little, Lisa would often pick up my mother and me to go to rummage sales. It was always exciting to watch her find a good deal.
During the summer time, I spent just as much time at her house as I did at my parents'. She always made sure I did my share of chores before playing. Sometimes all I did was chores, but she often rewarded me with a good meal or even cookies. She became like a second mother to me.
I will always appreciate everything she did for me and my family. I have no doubt that she rests with the angels.
