In memoriam: Lisa Schmidt, lourdesmont

Aug 27, 2009 11:47

My friend Lisa Schmidt passed away of pancreatic cancer on Wednesday, August 26, at one am. Her brother Jeff just called me to let me know. He says "thank you" to her other internet friends for all of your love and support of Lisa, and that, in the end, all of her life will come down to the memories and love she leaves behind, that this is her true legacy. In that regard, Lisa left us a huge legacy. More than I can say.

If anyone wishes to send flowers, the funeral is Saturday, at Horizon Funeral Home, 1605 Colonial Blvd., Fort Myers, FL. Lisa's family, however, says that their biggest wish is that you donate either time or money to local cancer societies, hospices, and the like, since local action for those who are currently suffering would be the best memorial she could have. lisapt and I are walking in the Pancreatic Cancer Walkathon in Detroit at the end of September, so if you care to either join us or donate, our Team Lourdesmont page is here. This will be our small tribute to Lisa's love, courage, and stubbornness.

Lisa, I love you and always will. Until further notice.
