Some of you may know of the age gap between Lisa and I. So we were always in separate worlds being 6 yrs apart growing up. But my favorite memories with her growing up was watching her dance on her team… and win!! I idolized her and wanted so badly to be a royallette when I got older… I was so proud of her and watching her and the team would give me goose bumbs throughout the whole dance… and then when they announced she and her team were 1st place 🥇 Indescribable feelings Of overwhelming joy, and being proud… I felt like she was some sort of a celebrity in my eyes at that age… from then on whether it was secretly, I always idolized her and wanted to be just like her…she was amazing at everything! 

I miss my sister’s courage, our sisterly chats, her beautiful bright smile, and sense of humor… I wish everyday that I talked more to her and my niece.

Perhaps if that was the case I could be possibly help ease, or be of comfort during this transition for Maddie…

And for what it’s worth, Im here if she ever wants to talk to her Aunt Amber…or say hello to her little cousin Jax, and Aurelia, Andy, and of course Trey. I pray every night for our family’s strength and that we never give up on one another, or take family for granted or any time at all with each other, with no judgements or expectations! Just wholesome, genuine, honest and sincere exceptions to all of us. Everybody has came from a different path that paved the place and person we are today. Some great, some not so great, some lucky and successful and others not so much… or some just safely planned and risk free… or others centered around risk taking. Anyways what I’m getting at is, losing Lisa to soon and sudden… I hold a lot of regret and shame for not trying harder to be excepted and a productive sister that she was proud to have as I was of her. I may have missed my chance. But hopefully we can learn and improve our families love for one another, or just simply accept who your family is and grow love in time together.

Love you Lisa! Love you Maddie! and Brett as well… sincerely Aunt Amber & Cousin’s Trey, Andy, Aurelia, And of course Jax..

Dearest Brett and Maddie, we are so deeply sorry for your loss of your amazing wife and mom, Lisa. Our hearts are broken for you. Please know that you are constantly lifted in prayer. All our love to you both.

Kevin, Anne, Tristyn and Derek McAdam
