I never met her.....never talked to her.....never e-mailed her......only sent her a get well card once. I always thought DeeDee exaggerated about her. (I know...DeeDee exaggerating.....not possible!) One thing I've learned though, everyone loved Lisa. Yes....I did a little facebook stalking (that's what my daughter calls it)! I realize that the people posting on her page are friends or family, but dear Lord! They all LOVE her! Beautiful Lisa. Wonderful Lisa. Perfect Lisa! And no matter who was posting to her or what they posted to her, she responded to all and told each of them how much she loved them back!
From her pictures it's easy to tell that she loved life and loved to travel. She seems to have been everywhere. In all her pictures, she looks so serene.....so at peace with the world around her. She had her husband, her dog Rita, her family, and her many friends. If only she had her health, too. Everything would have been perfect.
DeeDee, I believe, as I know you do, that you are so very blessed to have known Lisa for all these years. You have an Angel in Heaven to watch over you now......an incredibly brilliant light! (dont' blow it!) .......shhhhhh......i love you~
Good Moaning, sweetpea~
ReplyDeleteyour killing me you know....
ReplyDeletethis is very sweet.....but I am a little confused since I never exaggerate.... shut up....
the only way to exaggerate about Lisa would be to speak negatively....the real Lisa cannot be exaggerated....all the words...photos..and exaltations could never do Lisa justice.....
Thanks for these words this morning...and this is a favorite photo of mine....Lisa is looking for whales in the pacific...and she always found plenty....or they found her....
What a beautiful homage to Lisa and DeeDee as well. I think we all stalked Lisa after hearing about her here. I for one, couldn't believe a woman who was so full of life was so ill. It seems she went her way, on her terms.
ReplyDeleteNext time I want to complain about something, I'm going to think of Lisa. I'm sure she wouldn't have complained. I think she'd have been thrilled just to be having a new experience.
Oh, and DeeDee; Lisa has to have been an amazing human being because she put up with you. :D
ReplyDeleteGood morning All! What a beautiful blog for a person! :) Thank you Tina for writing and sharing it.
ReplyDeleteDeeDee: I am so sorry for your loss..but I agree, you have an angel looking over you now. :)
And, I never knew that DeeDee exaggerated at all! I mean, what can she say, if she's fabulous, she's fabulous!! :)
xo all..have a great day!
Bev
I meant to say, "What a beautiful blog for a beautiful person"...sheesh..sorry. :)
ReplyDeleteMorning Glories!
ReplyDeleteTina Deedee is very blessed and lucky to have known Lisa. I think there are many people who exude true kindness and love. They in my opinion have figured out that our physical body is just our outer covering what really matters is the real soul or person inside.
They radiate because they have accepted who they truly are.
Blessings to Lisa and her family.
Deedee (((Hugs))) to you.
ok...I may as well tell it...
ReplyDeleteof all weeks...this one...with Thanksgiving....and people arriving for Lisa's service....all the people I must see...many that I haven't seen in years....this would have to happen....
Last night I lost one of my FRONT TEETH!!! Not just the cap....the entire tooth broke off at the gumline....I tried Gorilla Glue last might....didn't work....
I can't speak properly....my tongue does into the empty space....
it does make me laugh....and Belle won't stop looking at it....
and as you all well know...I don't have a vain bone in my body.....but frankly....bumpkin just doesn't work for me....especially this week...
needless to say I am off to the dentist and at the worst...to shop for a veil....
btw...these (your) remarks are going on all your permanent records...
did I mention Optometrist wants to dilate my eye!! I am going to be a blind...toothless stumbling fool all week apparently...
WHY ME!!!!
Because you are to obsessed with your outer beauty. Hmmmm who is sending you a message?
ReplyDeleteDeeDee, why bother with a veil? Just throw a bag over your head. Or are you now a two-bagger?
ReplyDeleteTina, what a beautiful sweet & thoughtful blog you wrote!
ReplyDeleteThere are many people on this earth that are the better for knowing Lisa.
DeeDee,thank you for sharing a tiny part of her amazing life! I think we can all honor her by living life to the fullest and keeping our loved ones close.
RIP Lisa, I am sure you know what a fantastic friend you had in DeeDee :)
DeeDee, can we have a close-up pic of your tooth gap and glazed over eyes???
ReplyDeletethat's "EYE" Mary~
ReplyDeleteugh ugh ugh~
ReplyDeletesupposed to have blizzard conditions tonight....all the catholic schools are closed tomorrow....and now I'm worried that the college kid won't make it home tonight! poo!!!~
TINA: You've written a beautiful tribute. DEEDEE had a wonderful friend in Lisa..and she also has a wonderful friend in you.
ReplyDeleteDEEDEE: The more I read about Lisa the more I see what an amazing person she was. I don't think there was any exaggeration involved here at all..just a lot of love.
Tina, I have been watching your weather reports. Nasty!! I thought your Son was already home. Wishing safe travels to him.
ReplyDeleteTINA - What a wonderful tribute for Lisa ♥
ReplyDeleteDEE DEE - I read the article that you posted in FB about Lisa. What an amazing woman. You can see the light and love around her in the pics that her hubby took ♥ Oh, and about your tooth....just grab a box of Chiclets. That should hold you over til after Sunday ;)
TINA - p.s. I hope the boy gets home safe ♥
Very nice blog Tina!
ReplyDeleteEvening Tina, DeeDee, Bonachi, Lynn D, Bebbi, Mary, Zona and Jodi!
DeeDee I have 2 questions for you.
ReplyDelete1 - Did Lisa know you dabbled in Voo Doo?
2 - Did you ever have a Lisa Voo Doo doll?
Oh, one more thing...if you don't want people to notice your tooth then don't open your mouth! Simple!
lmbo!!!! omg shirley....."don't open ur mouth!"....omg!!!! O M G!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAS IF!!!!!!!~
TinaThank you for the lovely blog about a beautiful spirit. I imagine Lisa was grateful for each new day she was given and I'm so glad she was abe to spend her final days exactly as she wanted to.
ReplyDeleteDeeDee. Again, let me say how sorry I am about the loss of your friend.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I had to laugh @ you being blind and toothless. It's not really funny, tho, and I hope the dentist was able to repair your tooth.
I'm in SoCal until next Monday but will try to keep in touch via this BlackBerry. Waving my wing at all.
ReplyDeleteTINA...beautifully touching tribute to Lisa. She sounds amazing.
ReplyDeleteDEE DEE...sorry about your tooth. I'm also sorry I laughed as a first response! Hope you got a nice new tooth for Sunday.
And, your friendship with Lisa was so special. How did you meet?
SHIRLEY...TOO FUNNY!!
TINA...I hope College Boy gets home safe and sound.
Such a nice tribute! So sad to lose her life at such a young age. She was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHope everyone had a nice day!
Agreeing with Judy! That was a great tribute, Tina!
ReplyDeleteTina. What's the flight status for Jr? I hope he makes it home.
ReplyDeleteJ/L~ he just sent a text....closing the door of the aircraft....they'll be 1 1/2 - 2 hrs behind schedule~ but they plan to fly~ We may end up with another kid.....one of his buddy's is connecting thru SLC and probably won't make it out tonight~ So now we are in cleaning mode....and I'm taking a break~ :)~
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the nice comments today~ She was and always will be a real beauty~ (Lisa....certainly not DeeDee!) :D
Can't DeeDee just put a Chicklet gum in where her tooth used to be? I mean, they come in white. She could do Bugs Bunny impressions.
ReplyDeleteJust woke up and read who won DWTS...makes me happy!
ReplyDeleteJUST got home from the airport~ the "blizzard" left a bunch of that white shit all over the roads.....that was one bitch of a drive....but it's no longer snowing...yay....AND my kid is home and I don't hate him yet~ :)~ AND he brought a friend who got stuck here with him~ what fun~
ReplyDeleteI like the chicklet idea~ Honestly, I think she should just use a corn kernel.....lq~
