Beyond her professional life, Lisa had a deep love for music and the arts, often enjoying both classical and modern theater performances.

Since Lisa was not the biggest fan of flowers, we kindly request that, in lieu of them, donations be made in her name to the ASPCA and/or Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).

And with that she would want to say this is the moment, let’s pack those marmalade sandwiches, I’ll be defying gravity to Believe and Soar, and to all of us she would say there’s a great big beautiful tomorrow.
