"I had the pleasure of meeting Lisa in 1984 soon after moving to Forsyth Co. She was so kind to me, becoming a friend to me when I was in a new place and didn't know anyone. Her very sweet nature made me feel welcome in her life. She and her sisters would even drive 4 miles out of their way to pick me up for school. I probably never told them how much I appreciated it. Although we did not remain close after our sophomore year, I always respected Lisa and have only the fondest memories of her. I have no doubt that she will be greatly missed by all who were privileged to know her. My prayers are with you all during this terribly sad time of loss."
