Hi Aunt Lisa it's Andrea, i miss you with all my heart. I'm 17 now and I'm driving haha I wish you were here to see me, but i know your up there watching. I'm also a vegetarian now but i do eat fish. It just stinks because I know if you were still here we would have been best friends. I cant think or talk about you without crying it really sucks. And it's kind of ironic I'm listening to the radio and Natalie Merchant just came on and i know how much you loved her music. I love you so much i wish i could just see you again. <3333Andrea

Hey Grushby! Janey here...It seems like 10 seconds and 10 years both at the same time to me that you've been gone. This is because I know your spirit is with me and I think of you very often. You lived so much in your short lifetime that you will never be forgotten, and I will try everyday to have as great an outlook on life as you did. My beloved Riley dog just passed a few weeks ago from the same disease as you. I told him to go find you. I know he will and that you'll both be hiking through heaven together with Eric, Jesse and Bentley. I miss you so much and want you to know that I will keep you in my memory always. Love, Tumbleweed

Hello Lisa, I just wanted to let you know that we have not forgotten you. Its been now 10 years. I still look back to the good times we all had together. I am glad and thankful for this time because nobody can take this ever away. You always have been a good friend and supporter to me which I will never forget for the rest of my live. Thank you for sharing the good times. I am proud that I am your friend. Miss you Klaus

I agree with the other sentiments that I can't believe it's been 10 years. But you are so loved that I'm positive people will be thinking of you with that same love for many many years to come. You're short time on this earth left an unremovable mark on so many people's lives. So once again I'm running the marathon (one last time!!!!!) and the only reason is because it falls directly on your birthday. At first I tried to get in through the lottery but I was denied but something inside me would not let me give it up. So I decided to run for a charity, The Hole in the Wall Camp. It's a free camp provided to children with serious illnesses. Out of all the charities that were sponsors of the NYC marathon I chose this one because in the months after you passed my niece told us that you would come to her and she would be able to talk to you. One time I asked her what you said you were doing and Juliana told me that you were working with the children. When I came across this charity I knew it was the one...just one more example how you continue to bring goodness to this planet. You are always in my heart and missed everyday. Love Lisa

It's so hard to believe that 10 years have passed since Lisa died. I can still see her face and hear her voice (and her laugh) as clearly as ever. Hey Lisa - thanks for making all of our lives richer!
