Lisa, I enjoyed our weekly visits and all the wonderful stories of your family and your life. You had a passion for connecting with others and were a strong woman of faith. Your life has been a blessing to many. Thank you for your willingness to give me a glimpse of your precious life. "Your professor" - Julie

Through our childhoods she was always Tante Betty to us. So much laughter and the cooking and baking of food with our Mother while Papa and Leroy spoke about the news of the day. They were such good friends. I had been out of touch for a few weeks because my husband was ill. Still our last phone call was lovely. Her stories and encouragement and love was a shining light through my whole life. I will miss you so yet, happy that you are reunited with Leroy and Linda in heaven.

My heart was broken when I found out that Aunt Lisa was gone. I had so many thoughts running around in my head when I visited you for the first time in 1986. What we had experienced and the BBQ when Leroy made the steaks I will miss you even if we have only spoken via video call lately but we were always in Contact. There are so many beautiful memories of family, Michigan and America in my heart that I will never forget. My english is not the best (Sorry) but it comes from the bbottom of my heart...

I am happy that I married into your family and got to know you. You were so full of zest, smiles, and grace. We appreciated all you have shared with us and I will always see that smiling face in my mind when I think of you. Love you so much Aunt Lisa.

Aunt Lisa, I never wanted to lose you. I always loved you so much. When I was little I still remember wanting to go to your house and play with your purses, shoes (glass slippers). I will never forget you taking me to Germany with Linda and Susan. Then I would take my dad to see you. Listening to brother and sister argue as to who was right. I will hold all my memories close to my heart and never forget you. You’ve been like my mom. I will miss you so much. Rest in Heaven and we will see each other again one day. Your niece Cindy♥️
