Michelle, I met your mom once at SIUC when she came to pick you up for spring break or some such. She had a smile that lit up the hallway and I’ll never forget how much I thought you looked JUST like her. May she rest in peace and you and your family find inner peace.

Lisa was so creative, thoughtful, and tenacious. She was the first teacher assistant I had in my classroom and we had an immediate connection talking and laughing about our wild ride working with children. I will miss seeing her every morning. I will cherish my memories with her over the past 18 years forever. My deepest condolences. Anna
