Loving Lisa

Lisa was one of my closest cousins. Lisa passed away on Saturday, October 17th, 2009 in Tempe, Arizona. These are some of my last favorite memories with her.

Skiing at the Canyons last December when they were in town for a short time.

... We had a family party 2 months ago here. Lisa gave me this as her thank you for me sending her two pairs of shoes when in Spain. She took this picture of "la farmacia" in Madrid, Spain.

I will truly cherish my last moments with my dear cousin. After I heard this horrible news, I went and had this framed immediately. Last week has for sure been one of the saddest weeks of my life. I enjoy having so much family in town, but unfortunately for such an unfortunate event. The funeral was held on Saturday, October 24th, in Salt Lake. Such a sad day... The funeral service was beautiful.

Before the funeral, there were 2 viewings, one of which President and Prophet Monson and Dallin H. Oaks attended -- So wonderful to shake their hands. When I saw them, I was comforted in knowing that I will see my Lisa Jane again someday. I had tears streaming down my face- with a grin on my face- as president Monson said, "What a beautiful young lady." ... and all I could say was- .......... thank you.........

that was where my peace came from for the night. I then had a renewed love for the gospel and knowledge of an afterlife, and family members.

Lisa Jane, you are forever in our memories. I will always love you.

Until we Meet again-- farewell.
