and color.

Lisa – All I can say is you made my life better just being in it. To the most loving, caring, self-less woman I know – I love you and will miss you.
To Lisa’s family – My heart aches for all of you and I hope you are able to find comfort in your amazing memories of Lisa. Ike and I are blessed to be a part of her life. Much Love and many prayers to you.
Joni (Rose) & Steve Grovom says
Your style was as unique as your personality. You shared many aspects of life that will be forever in our heart. You have no more pain and have passed this onto us. Our hurt will slowly disappear as yours did not until the union with your new family. There is one lucky place now receiving your gift.
Love you Lisa and realize even more our bond as sisters.
Ken and Rose Family in Hawaii says
Aloha Lisa – My protector, my beutiful sister whome I always looked up to. You fought the bullies until I learned to take on the bullies myself. We argued over ‘the’ bathroom yet I always felt priveledged you were my sister. Your confidence and living life to its fullest always inspired me to make my own choices; boldly. I’m comforted you are at peace after fighting the cancer bully boldly and with grace. I take hope and look forward to the day, at the shout of the arch angel when we will be rejoined. Oh death where is your victory, where is your sting?

Linda May says
I was so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Lisa at Montana Health Systems. She was so filled with the love of Jesus. The one thing that will never leave me is how she loved her girls. I someday knew that I wanted to love my children and speak with such love about them as she did about hers, and when I left work to be a stay at home mom and she came and saw me in the hospital she signed my little girls wall haning and wrote that my baby was a gift to the world but what she didn’t realize was that she was gift to me. Thanks Lisa for showing me by example uncondional love. I Will miss you and always think of you, with your awesome shoes! Love, Linda
Margaret McIntosh says
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Marsha says
Lisa made such a great impression on her kids in Sabbath School class, I’m sure they still remember the lesson about the ‘whole armor of God’, we still have the costume to represent all the parts.
Marvin & Stacy says
Lisa is a spirit we will never forget…bringing a great humor and a smile with her every time she visited us here at Barnes Jewelry.
Mary Kay (Burgess) Puckett says
I’m so sad at Lisa’s passing. She was a wonderful person and so full of life. We recently (a few years ago)reconnected after being high school classmates. She was so proud of her children – that’s all she could talk about. She was beautiful inside and out.
Melissa Hanson says
Lisa was a very warm, kind person and she had a great sense of humor. She will be greatly missed.
Mike Tooley says
Lisa and I grew up on opposite sides of Montana Avenue. She was my classmate all the way from the first day of first grade until high school graduation.
Although we followed separate paths in life, I have not forgotten Lisa, and won’t. God bless her family in this difficult time.
Pam & Charlie Brown says
Dearest Joni & Steve ~

Peggy, Mitch, and Shaelynn Mundy says
Cindy and family, Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer. Should you need anything, you just need to ask.
God saw her getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around her and whispered “come to me.” With tearful eyes we watched her, and saw her pass away. Although we loved her dearly, we could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
Please accept our heartfelt sympathy,
Peggy, Mitch and Shaelynn
Renee Britschgi says
I am truly sorry for your loss. I worked with Lisa at New West and she had become a good friend. I did not get to see her as much once she left NW, but when I did see her it was a pure joy. Her and her shoes. Loved them. I saw her last fall and that is when I found out she was ill and very saddened by it. One of my coworkers saw her just two weeks ago and we tried the numbers that I had for her and was never able to get ahold of her. We are very saddened, that we did not get to see her and share some memories with her. We will keep her in our prayers always. RB
Rich and Susan Rose says
Travel well, Sis.
The LORD has richly blessed this family and your 49 years with us will always be carried in our hearts.
Ronni says
I did not know Lisa, but my friend, Randy Renn, cared very much for her, and I am very sad to read of her passing. MAY GOD BLESS HER AND KEEP HER, and may His healing and loving grace RESIDE WITHIN YOUR SOUL – until your see her again. AMEN ~
Sandy Long Benson says
Joni, Steve and Rose family. May God comfort each of you in your time of sorrow. Knowing it is only temporary is what will keep you comforted. God bless each of you.
