I was thankful to have been friends with Lisa through our Whipple Survivor group. We had many things in common with our physical issues. She was always supportive of all of us even when she was going through so many things herself. I have been so saddened by her passing, and for her family and 2 girls. I have been keeping you all in my prayers. I know that she loved you dearly! Andrea Powell

LIsa was a beautiful, creative, and wonderfully intelligent woman. She'll be remembered mostly for her great wit, love of fun, and deep affection.
We recently reconnected, and I wish, of course, that I'd had more time to get become reacquainted with her. Although I am glad that she no longer is in physical pain, I am certain that our world is a less joyful place with her passing.

Lisa and I met a several years ago due to shared a problem, chronic pain. It was amazing to find someone as giving and accepting as she was. I will miss her quick wit, her wonderful humor, steadfast strength and strong opinions. She was such a good friend and I will miss her terribly. My heart goes out to her friends and family.

I too was an "online" friend! Lisa was able to be a dear friend even online, we shared many messages back and forth about the British comedies we both loved, the love of crafting we had in common, just life in gerneral.... I loved her dolls she made !
And I hope you girls treasure the journal I made her, she told me she was writing a lot in it! She loved you guys so much and I'm sure she will be your angel
in your life.... Watch for pennies on the ground, it's a sign your mom was there !!!!
She will be missed by so many!
God bless !!

Find your softest pillow Lord.
Mark it Lisa Jayne.
Place it on the whitest cloud.
A place for her to lay.
Place a flower upon the cloud.
In the deepest shade of blue.
Let her know it's all from us.
Your friends in group Miss You.

To the Terranova-Hartline Families,
I too was a 'facebook friend' of dearest Lisa, ever appreciative of the laughter and caring she brought to our Whipple Surgery Survivor Group. She was kind, thoughtful and always quick to respond to questions of others. It was a pleasure to have known her, and I send my deepest sympathies to you all. Fondly, Kim Spelman, Affiliate Coordinator for the Palm Beach/Broward County, Pancreatic Cancer Action Network

To Lisa's Loved ones....
I never got to meet Lisa in person but we became good friends through the Whipple Surgery Survivor Group on Facebook.
Lisa was always encouraging, funny, insightful, compassionate and would literally tell you exactly what she was thinking, which I loved! I got to know the statement, "Good Grief!" which I had only heard used on Charlie Brown cartoons before.
I have decided to use Good Grief now! Yes, I'm copying you Lisa!
Please know that there are 300 people who all are mourning with you as we lost a fellow Whipple Warrior who helped so many people with her words.
Love to you girls, you were her sunshine!! ..and still are!.
Much love, Ronda Ayala

Dear Lisa,
There is no amount of thanks I could give to make up for all you have given me. When I needed encouragement, advice, or even just someone to talk to, you were always there. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I will miss you terribly, and my girls too.
Much love forever,
Sara Lewis
