They say when your time comes to leave this Earth, it’s not just what you did but how you made people feel that matters…Lisa was one of the most caring and kind faculty members I can remember as a kid growing up in the Princeton Elementary School system. She was a warm welcome to school each and every day and that feeling of joy and being welcomed is how I will always remember her. My deepest sympathy to Lisa’s family during this difficult time.
We lost a beautiful and amazing woman here on earth but God gained a lovely soul and Angel for His kingdom. You will always be near in our hearts Lisa and forever in our memories. We will miss you. Until we meet again. All our love
She will be missed, we had fun working together at Didoughs in Princeton. We had lots of laughs and good conversations.
So very sorry for your loss! My thoughts and prayers are with all of her family and friends.
I was so saddened to hear of Lisa’s passing, and I know she certainly put up a good fight. She was such a joy to work with at Reagan, and I always enjoyed her friendly smile. My sympathies to her family.
