Photo of Lisa in Central Park with the persona of the Statue of Liberty was sent to our family by Lisa inside a Thanksgiving Day card. She sent it to arrive right before our Father's service which was held in Central Park. So Lisa was there in spirit after all.

These are a couple of family Easter photos with Lisa and her siblings Catherine, Gail and Patrick. Lisa is the one holding on to her hat to make sure it doesn't blow away.

This was Lisa when she was first born being adored by our parents and when she was a toddler holding on to her stuffed elephant sitting next to me as her bigger older sister. Then we expanded to four of us kids with Patrick and Gail being added to our family tree. But all throughout the years Lisa was always the innocent one. We will always love you.

God Bless you Lisa you sure will be missed. I'll never forget how you kept in touch over the years. I even got a Happy Thanksgiving Day card from you in the mail. You were so thoughtful and caring to have sent it before you passed on to Heaven.

What a lovely remembrance of cousin Lisa. We had fun when she came to Dallas as well as Austin. She will never be forgotten by family and her friends. I won´t be able to attend her memorial, her sister has lovingly organized but I will be there in spirit sending my love...

So sad to think of Lisa passing away so young. I remember baby sitting her and her siblings way back in the Bronx, NY. Lisa was so loving and caring. She also sent me gifts on some of the artists I most admire. We had a bond with the arts. I love and miss her. Aunt Liz Flanagan
