Dear Mel,
Lisa was such a spirit filled, fun loving, go-get-'em role model for us; I loved her smile and the twinkle in her eye...oh we miss her and what a gift the opportunity to wish YOU a happy birthday is!
Thank you for the time that you shared Lisa with us. You help us realize just how precious time is.
Happy Birthday!
Love Kim from CT
