Lisa, I had a dream about you the day before you passed. It was a vivid dream which I rarely and seldom ever have nowadays that I don't sleep much. In short, I saw you in a new body looking svelte in a pink flowy dress with your hair curled and Dan was admiring you in awe as you glowed. I was astonished at how beautiful you looked! Little did I know you would be getting that Heavenly body and no longer be in pain.

Even though, we didn't get to see you, we know we will see you again someday. This isn't goodbye and we will have eternity to spend time together! We love you Lisa!

Dan and Mitchell, we love you both always! We're so sorry about Lisa. We know we will all be together again someday!

Where does one begin when trying to express what the loss of someone so special and how this loss has impacted their life? The loss of Lisa has been devastating to say the least. She came into my life many years ago while our children were attending the same school. We knew of each other but were not that close until our family had experienced another overwhelming loss, the loss of my husband.
My husband had died quite suddenly and Lisa, Dan and Mitchell attended the memorial. It all still seems surreal thinking back to that time but I was very thankful for everyone who had attended. Lisa had lost her own father when she was just about the same age as my daughter. She had a particular soft spot for children and would go out of her way to support them in any way that she could. This was the beginning of our friendship.
I was struggling with trying to decide what to do with my life and how to take care of my family. I had enrolled in college courses shortly after my husband passed and my anxiety was tremendous. Lisa would call several times a day to distract me from my thoughts which at times were a welcomed relief. While trying to study she would send me pictures to make me laugh. We even made a game of it each trying to outdo the other with the most bizarre or horrifying images of things like creepy dolls. I was thankful that she could make me laugh again.
I found it very difficult to sleep and was struggling to make it through each day. Sometimes I had to take it moment by moment. Without the love and support of Lisa I don’t know if I would be where I am today. Over the years as our friendship grew I thought of her more as the little sister I never had. We had nicknames for each other. I was Boo and she was Loo.
Dan often commented that we were more like twins than anything else. We often completed each other’s sentences. When she became ill we would talk almost daily. I would call her on my way home from work just to make her laugh or discuss how she was feeling. She made it her mission in life to be my personal alarm clock.
Every night before I would fall asleep, she would call to see what time I needed to be up. Often she would call early and apologize trying hard to hang up before I could say anything. It was on those mornings that we would have our deepest conversations. I knew it was no accident that she had called early. I knew that she was anxious about her health. Many times she would share with me her fears and how she felt about the way she was feeling. Many times I would tell her not to beat herself up for being normal.
I will cherish those calls for the rest of my life. I miss not having her to call on my way home from work. I miss the way she could make me laugh, her warped sense of humor. I miss my friend.

You were the best friend to my mother in law. She speaks so highly of you. We had so much fun going to dinners when Becky & Eilise were in town. You were such a beautiful spirit and so much fun to be around. You will be missed.

Lisa was like a sister. She has such a presence still in the things she shared and her acts of kindness during some really tough times. I have been honored to be a friend to her. The friendship was a gift from God!
Even when she was hurting she would think of others. I know she's not in pain any more and I am thankful for that. The memories will not go away and I will get to spend eternity hearing that great laugh of hers!
Prayers of comfort for Dan and Mitchell during this time of transition. God will be your comforter and guide through the days ahead.

Lisa Freeman my friend you will be missed by so many. I will never forget watching You Tube videos of prank phone calls of fast food restaurants. We laughed so hard. Our boys would play video games all day and night. Mitch taught A.J. how to play hockey. Erica still talks about how she loved shopping with Lisa. I miss the days you would call me and say "let's go to Starbucks and I will buy you a tea" just so you could get a ice water. Lots of memories. I could go on and on. You will be missed here. Thank you for being such a good friend. We love you ❤

Lisa Freeman you will be missed by us left behind in this world. I recall your sweet spirit and the fun that we all had going to concerts! Hope you are at the best concert ever in Heaven! May you rest joyfully in the arms of our precious Savior. Mitchell and Daniel are going to miss you beyond belief but I know your prayers are going to be for them and with them. You are so sweet and I know that that sweetness has been transferred to them and that your family will forever feel the sweet fragrance of your presence mingled with the presence of our most holy God! May you rest in peace as you continually intercede for those of us who have not yet entered into Glory. Congrats Lisa on your promotion! I am so happy for you although I and your family and friends miss you. 🌺🌻🌹🌷🌼💕💞 See you again in a very short time span maybe 70 years or so. It'll go by like the flash of a picture lol.

Lisa, was a good friend, she had a huge heart and she was an example of unconditional love and acceptance. When I had a struggle I knew I could share it with Lisa and she would both encourage and pray for me and my family. She was always there to support and encourage others. She loved deeply. She was so generous, with her time, finances and love. I enjoy our visits over breakfast or lunch and our phone calls, she was warm kind and had a great sense of humor. I am better for knowing you Lisa, thank you. You will be missed, by so many.

Dan and Mitchell my heartfelt sympathy goes out to you both. Your wife and mother had a heart of gold, she was a one of an angel amongst us. Thank you for sharing her with me and us all. May God comfort you, bless you and meet your every need. Love, Carmen and Family

The Bible promises that no one who believes in Christ will be turned away and I know you left your painful earthly body and walked into a celebration and into the arms of Jesus. Lisa, I love you and will miss you and I look forward to be reunited with you, our mom and dad, our grandparent’s, and all our other loved ones in Heaven. I will never forget you and will always remember the special sister you were to me all of your life. Until we meet again! Love always your baby brother Jeff
