My deepest sympathy to Lisa’s beloved family. I had the pleasure of working with Lisa in Colonial. I will fondly remember her smile and laughter, she always had the ability to make others laugh. Lisa loved the children she served and had a great work ethic. We joked about Lisa being Mrs. Clean like her awesome mentor Momma Marie. May you find comfort in the fond memories you shared.
