Lee, I am very sorry for your loss.
We were shocked and saddened to hear about Lisa’s untimely passing. I remember first meeting Lisa when I helped her CHRP group at St Michael’s and then I would see her smiling face whenever I went to renew Peter’s urban hunt license at the City/County building. She was a truly kind and loving person and she will be missed.
Lisa was truly a genuine and loving person. I met her at age 7 and she is a spirit you are drawn to. Always with a smile and a hug whenever you’d see her. The world has lost a living angel. Deepest condolences and prayers of comfort
Lee & Family please accept Mary and my sincere condolences in regard to your loss of Lisa. It is very hard to understand this unfortunate tragedy in your lives as she was way too young. We will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers. You have always been a lifelong friend and neighbor and we will never forget you.
I knew of Lisa through Lee. He was in my class at Madison and later student taught in 5th Grade with me. The Grubers of the Island were like family to me. Scott wrestled for me and Tambi was in my class as I began teaching. I have fond memories of several Grubers, either at Madison or at Wheeling Park football games, where they all sat together. I met Lisa and she was radiant. Such a sweet person. Condolences to Lee, Matthew, and Sara , along with Lisa’s family and friends. RIP, Lisa.
Lee,Matt and Sara you are in our thoughts and prayers so sorry for your loss. Hold on to all the memories.
Lee,
I’m so sorry to hear of Lisa’s passing. I know how much you love and adored her. Sending you and the kids all of my love and condolences.
Lee, I am deeply saddened by the news of your loss. I pray that God will grant you the strength. My most sincere condolences.
As a classmate and coworker, Lisa was always cheerful and kind. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
Our deepest sympathy to Lee and family during this difficult time. May you draw on the strength of your many friends and family. Our love and prayers to all of you.
