Billie Dean:
Our Sunday School class at Temple Baptist Church has had you and Lisa on our prayer list for a long time. I am
Frances Hensley’s sister in-law and she is the person making the request. I wish I could have met you. Frances and Tony think so much of you, Lisa, and your family.
There is only so much you can do..but you don’t have to do it alone – trust in God, in yourself, and in those who care about you, and have faith that God is with you always – to give you strength, hope, and love.
Lisa is with her Lord and Savior and is at peace. You cared for her, loved her, and was there for her.
This was a blessing to her and her family.
…faith is the assurance of things hoped for. Hebrews 11:1
To the Dean and Conner Families:
I didn’t know Lisa well, but I know Jackie from school. I knew Mr. Dean from coming into Boone’s Corner where I worked for years. He used to keep me up to date on Jackie and his family. Allen, I know you, of course, through Kim.
I’m sorry for your loss and my condolences go out to the entire family. May God Bless you all and bring you comfort.
Dearest Allen & Family
For each thorn, there’s a rosebud…
for each twilight ‘? a dawn…
for each trial ‘? the strength to carry on,
For each stormcloud ‘? a rainbow…
for each shadow ‘? the sun…
for each parting ‘? sweet memories
when sorrow is done.

Lisa’s Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Lisa had a very, very, brave heart, not only in her battle with cancer, but throughout her life. I am so blessed to have had such a wonderful friend. She was so geniuine and caring. I remember just days before she passed, no matter how bad she felt, she always asked me about my mother, or my son, or was interested in how I was doing. And always, always ready to give me advice, which, by the way, I typically took,for she was very wise. I will never forget her laugh, her smile, her wit, her ability to make the most of just about anything. I will miss her deeply and will cherish fond, fond memories we shared together. I know she’s in very good hands now.
Much love,
Karen
