don't know what to say...
that hasn't already been said. My heart is heavy and my stomach aches for you both. My prayers are strong, but my sorrow for you and for Lisa is so great. Thank you for thinking of us and, yes, please remind Lisa of how very loved she is.

My candles are lit and my prayers are strong....
Mel, I do not even know what to say to you at this time but that I think so much of Lisa, even only knowing her through this web site.
Her smile remains in my memories always.
I wish her peace....

Mel,
We'll light the candle, with the hope that peace of mind, and of heart, finds a place with you and your family, and especially with Lisa. There are no words, and everything falls short. Our thoughts are with you, and if there is ever a way for love to be sent, it is being done now by many for you, for Lisa.
Thank you for being here, it makes all the difference.
---Kevin and Sue---

Mel ~ words are not adequate at a time like this but she will always hold a special place in so many hearts & minds. She will always be remembered as a beautiful and courageous soul that gave herself to so many others. I enjoyed coming back to this website for 3 years and reading her thoughtful, funny and generous insights into the life we live in....this special bond that holds us together & makes none of us strangers.
Peace, Ruth

Candles have been lit. While my heart grieves for both of you, it is at least a small measure of peace that Lisa is at last sleeping and more comfortable. You have been a wonderful partner in all of this and I know how very hard you have worked, Mel. God bless you for the love and loyalty showed this first class lady. I will truly miss her warmth and wisdom on the board.
