Beautiful soul

I'v never met Lisa in person as I live in the U.K. we met through an authors Facebook page, we started talking about the books and Lisa recommended so many other authors to me. We had many a conversation as the time went on, we talked on Facebook at the times she was unwell and couldn't sleep. We shared so many things and I used to send her videos and pictures of my son to cheer her up. Even though we never met in person I know she was a beautiful and loving soul. She made me feel welcome in the Facebook groups and during our messages she gave me some support when I was low and I'd do my best to uplift her and send healing prayers. My heart goes out to all the family especially her little man I know this is going to be a very difficult time but she will be there over his shoulder guiding him where she can. Rest in peace, and fly high now you have your wings❤️

Goodbye mate.

We shared a love of literature, in particular a love of zombie and post apocalyptic fiction, and the talented folks who write it.

 

We also shared an irreverent sense of humour, and the ability to not to take ourselves too seriously. I've lost count of the number of times we laughed our arses off at shit, including each other. My laughing emoji got a good workout in our messenger chats.

 

Even when you were dealing with your serious health issues you still found the time and energy to find the joy in simple things, and to leave supportive comments on other people's posts. I'm so grateful I got to be a close friend even though I live down under you were only ever a message away. I miss you my friend, may you finally rest in peace. With much love, Tony. ❤️

Zombie Lovers

I will always remember Lisa as the type of modirator, that you could talk to about anything. She was sweet and kind and she will be sorely missed. I know that it is no consolation to her family but she was loved by those in our group for her kind words and spunky personality. Her sass especially will be missed by her zombie family. Condolences to Lyam and family if there is anything I can do, please let me know.

A Great Loss

I never met Lisa in person but considered her a great friend on Facebook. She was kind, generous and we shared many laughs, even during her health issues she held on to her sense of humour and hope that she would recover from her health problems. She will be missed by many. My condolences to her son Liam, her family and her friends in life and on Facebook. RIP Lisa, you are now pain free.

Lisa was always  there for people no matter what! She always put others first, without any judgements or questions.  I loved chatting and laughing with her.

Safe travels to the other side

I was Lucky enough to meet Lisa like many others through the love of books and the many FB groups she was a apart of.

Anybody who talked to Lisa feel in love with her kind soul and couldn't help but want share all the giggles. She brought so much to life when we all know she struggled.

Her strength was amazing and there wasn't anything she wouldn't do for any one of us we needed it.

Her son was a big part of her, we would share crazy stories all the time. Our kids being close to the same age we shared the teenager's chaos adventures with each other

She'll be missed but she'll never be forgotten.

my birthday twin, she'll always get a happy thought sent out. Safe travels to the otherside my friend 💫

One of a kind

Unfortunately COVID took away my chance to visit and meet you and Liam in person but we had many conversations about everything from raising boys to of course our favorite books and Authors. Although I will miss you everyday I know you are no longer in pain and you have your wings,
Fly Lisa

Zombie Love

Lisa and I met through a mutual love of zombies.  She was so kind and loving. I'll never forget the kindness she reached out a few times with.

There are no words

I wish I could think of the words to describe everything I am feeling. I suppose it can be summed up with "pain."

You left us far too soon, but I will endure this pain, as it means yours is over. Rest easy, dear friend. I love you.

A beautiful soul

We never met in person, just on Facebook, but we shared a few passions: the zombie genre, our children, humour etc. Lisa was a friend and I wish we had the opportunity to meet in person. She fought her hardest to stay but she was needed upstairs more in the end. I am glad her suffering is finally over but my heart goes out to Lyam. Fly high Lisa. We will all miss you xx
