The moment I met Lisa I knew we would be great friends. We have too many stories to tell and probably shouldn't tell them anyway. For over 27 years she has been a loyal, kind and genuine friend.
Lisa brought a great deal of joy to my life. Even though I traveled all over from racetrack to racetrack Lisa and I never lost contact and remained friends. She would visit when she was in my town and LORD did we have fun!! After I moved back to Iowa Lisa remained a close friend and happy to say some of her life long friends have also became mine. She was a blessing in my life and she will be missed by many.
Lisa I love you dearly and I know you will pop into say Hi and possibly we will sing a duet at Karaoke next time I take the mic.
Joanne, Chris, Shane, Amy & kids, and Kenny you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
