I only knew Lisa from her amazing service at Francie's, but she always had a huge smile on her face and made me feel so welcome. Although I've missed her serving lunch the last few years, I was so happy to hear that she was able to spend more time with her grandkids. My deepest sympathy to all of her family and friends.

Adam, Jeremy and family. Lisa was an amazing person who had a unique talent to engage with people. I will always remember the times she was our waitress at Francie's.. She was a lot fun and like to kid around and always made us feel welcome and at ease. She was one of a kind and
Francie's was lucky to have such a warm talented individual. Our prays and thoughts are with you this day and may you find comfort among family and friends.
