To my aunt Lisa <3
Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. You are my hero. Thank you for saving me from my monster. Thank you for being the bravest person I have ever had the honor of meeting, and to call you my aunt I'll forever be grateful. Because of you I learned that I could be brave too. Thank you for meeting my husband with respect. I will always remember every kindness you have even done for me. For teaching me how to be a better person, you will always have a place in my home. I hope you are dancing and singing your heart out with Selena <3

Lisa was my aunt and was incredibly funny and the life of the party at the Neades Thanksgivings! I remember spending time with my cousins, her children, going swimming and having fun while aunt Lisa generously hosted. I didn't get to see her often but when I did, I was greeted with a hug and lots of laughs! I am so deeply sorry for my cousins, her children, as they navigate the world without their beautiful mother. Sending my love and prayers from West Virginia!
