You and your family are in our prayers. Lisa was a beautiful, kind, and loving woman. The world will not be the same without her but we are lucky to have a new angel watching over us.

I cannot believe that this has happened - I am still trying to process it. Lisa has always had such a zest for life and such a positive outlook on life...I know she will forever be there to watch her family grow an be there in spirit always. Lisa had a big heart and I am sure that she will look after her family from her new (heavenly) home.

Iam going to miss running into Lisa at Target and Walmart. She was a beautiful person. I always enjoyed talking to her. She was an excellent mother and she raised her children well. May the Lord comfort you during this difficult time. My thought and prayers are with you.

Lisa’s strength and belief in humanity has transcended into all of us.
Now you’re with Mom and Malcolm
… plus all your dogs: Lee Lee, Crackers and Biscuit.(ruff ruff)
You have transcended into Isaac, Jacob, Joshua, Logan, Emma
…and Scooter (ruff ruff)
A family bond can never be broken.
You are in all of our hearts right now.
I feel your presence.
It makes me tingle.
Lisa will live with every one of us,
For that I am sure…
Pass Lisa’s love forward,
With Lisa’s smiles and love.
Lisa,
I love you soooo much.
Your Brother,
David

The world has lost a truly amazing person. Lisa was one of my very best friends growing up in Oshawa. It seems like only yesterday we were passing letters in class, sharing our deepest secrets. She was an awesome soccer player. We played together for many years, traveling across Ontario & into the States for tournaments. I have so many fun memories of sleepovers & her dog Lee Lee who always had to sleep with us! We attended alot of local dances, concerts & parties together too.
It is with a heavy heart that I extend my deepest sympathy & condolences to Lisa's entire family. May God embrace you in this difficult time. I know her passion for life will live on through her children. Farewell my dear, sweet friend, Lisa. You were like a sister to me. You are in my heart forever.
Much Love, Sherrill Easby

Isaac, Jacob, Joshua, Logan and Emma, you were and amazing support for your Wife and so were the children during her illness.... I wish you strength, as you now have to carry on without her. However, she will never be far from your side.....She lives on in your hearts and all she taught you.... We love you all so much.... <3 Aunt Nel

I am sorry and give all my condolences to the family. It is good to see Isaac with Jacob, Josh, Logan and Emma at church every Sunday... Except when there's a game of course:) I'm glad that you guys have managed to move on and keep your lives progressing without our wonderful Lisa. She is greatly missed and I will keep her and the family in my prayers.
