Lisa, you are gone too soon.
Last week we were joking about kicking literal tires on pre-owned cars you were thinking about buying. I felt honored to be point of reference for mechanical advice, you were so bright and perceptive and it was rare that I knew more about something than you!
I have many fond memories of hanging out, all the way back to high school to going down to New Orleans to see yourself and Ian. You became like an adopted sister to us.
I loved seeing the world through your eyes, often through the photos you took (and the memes you shared… your love of David Hasselhoff and clowns is inexplicable). They showed the ways that you stopped to appreciate natural beauty, the change of seasons, and even the way that you handled times of crisis in the world, with a grace where you wanted to quietly retreat to a book and a place of nature.
I remember when you told me you were battling MS, I was shocked but you again handled it with lots of dry humor and the right amount of crankiness. It was a big deal, but you made it seem like it wasn’t.
We were recently talking about the word ‘quinquagenarian’ as you approached your 50th birthday, and my heart is broken that you are no longer with us. You will continue to be celebrated and be dearly missed.
