To Alan & Laura, Lisa's mother, Christie, and my mother, Norma, were sisters. I didn't know Lisa very well because age and distance separated us, but I will always remember her as a sweet child who grew grew up to be a lovely woman. She defined what it means to be a winsome Christian. I'm sure heaven got a little brighter when she arrived. Until you see her again, I pray that God will warm your hearts and ease your pain with memories of her beautiful spirit. -- With love, Barbara Wood Larson, Lisa's cousin and fellow believer
