We loved you for it. You lived a full life even if it was cut short. You were loved by us all and you will be missed just the same. Goodbye Red. We will cherish and remember the memories you gave to each and every one of us. We love you Lisa. We will never stop. Raise a glass of chardonnay to Lisa“.
