I just learn the passing of Lissa and my heart is heavy for you. The thing I remember she was always very kind to me. When cleaning for your family our friendship began she and I celebrated our birthday’s one day apart even though I haven’t seen her in years there were times I would remember our birthdays. Just know my thoughts and prayers are with you and Tanner.
