tell jokes and play pranks on her loved ones, often giving everyone she knew multiple nicknames she thought was funny. Lisa loved being social and could often be found walking to visit her friends and family, going to church, babysitting and selling Avon. Lisa enjoyed her simple pleasures; Lisa loved music and loved to sing, music was a part of her daily life, she loved Elvis Presley, country music, and many gospel groups. Lisa loved animals, Cats being her favorite. She also loved to drink her pop and watch scary movies and I Love Lucy. Lisa loved her family so dearly, but there was no greater earthly love, than the love she had for her mommy. Most importantly Lisa loved her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Lisa was a light to others, and reading her bible was a daily dedication she had from a teenager throughout her adult life. Lisa never expressed fear of death, but always talked about how beautiful heaven must be. Therefore, her family has faith in knowing where she is today, and knowing what a reunion it must be.
