Nothing can describe the sadness when I heard of Lisa’s passing. She was probably the first teacher who ever believed in me and saw my true potential. I will never forget everything she did for me in the short time I knew her.
Rest high in heaven Ms. Ewart

I am so sad to hear of Lisa's passing. She was such a strong caring presence to the children in her classes. She has touched so many lives and left her mark on so many children. They will always remember her and the lessons she taught them. I will always remember her when David, Lisa and I had lunch together. My sides were hurting from laughing so hard! Her smile and sense of humor were the best! Rest in peace my dear friend and God Bless.

So sorry to hear of Lisa’s passing. She was an amazing woman and friend that gave her whole heart and life to her students and our schools. The world won’t be the same without her in it. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Lisa and I were fellow special education teachers in New Haven Schools. She and I were going to a conference in Grand Rapids with her dear friend David Rayes, our principal and Cyndi Coughlin, our Special Ed Director. Lisa in her typical kind and generous manner offered to let us park our cars in the backyard of her family's historic home so we could all car pool. Upon returning home I was backing my car down the drive way. David was behind me, pulling her garbage can up the long drive to put it away for her. As I watched carefully not to hit Mr. Rayes, I ran into the corner of this historical home and ripped the side of her house off. Sweet Lisa came over to my car window and asked if I was OK. Then she said, "Don't worry about it Nancy. My dad ran into the same corner twice before, and he lived his entire life in this house!" Although my insurance covered the damages and they managed to make the repairs closely match the rest of the house, it was Lisa's kind smile and warm reassurance that made me feel less horrible about destroying her lovely home. Thank you dear Lisa!
Lisa, Ms. Ewart always provided a safe haven for our students. For those of you who did not see her classroom I suggest that you close your eyes, envision being in a room with scented candles burning, soft music playing, lights turned down dim, and comfy chairs to plop down in and read a book or do your homework. That was Lisa's room. She had a huge heart and was very kind to me and everyone she met. Truly every student that was blessed to know her, loved her. She will have many people mourning her loss. Take care Ms. Lisa. Enjoy spending Christmas with your parents and our Lord! Love, Nancy MacDonald

Mrs. Ewart. I remember us sitting in her classroom on my lunch break and some other students would also go in her room. Kind of a safe haven for us.
Her and I would eat ham spread and crackers it became a tradition after awhile.
She really cared about her students and was such a amazing person in general. Many students would go to her to vent about anything and everything. I know I did.
Rest in peace.

I'm going to miss sharing a glass of wine on your patio, and sharing in some laughs with you and David. As others have said your smile was always so warm and welcoming. Fly high Lisa! Hugs to all the Oshnocks

I always remember if I ever needed anything I would go to her. If I said I was going to the office or the counselor I went to her. She helped me through so much. I can’t believe she’s gone. She was the reason I got through school. She always motivated everyone to do their best and she wouldn’t accept that we couldn’t pass a class. It’s devastating that she’s gone.

I worked with Lisa her last 2 years at New Haven and I just adored her! She was such a nice person and truly cared about all of her children. I will miss her. She joked with the kids a lot and as Lisa would say all the time, “when pigs fly!”
