“Think of stepping on the shore and finding it heaven, of touching a hand and finding it God’s, of breathing new air and finding it celestial, of waking up in glory and finding it home.” – Don Wyrtzen
Yes, we will miss her. But, I can picture her walking hand and hand with God and having that smile on her face. What a joy it is to know we will see her again.
Kurt, Our thoughts and prayer’s are with you. The Weis’

Kurt & family:
I was so saddened to read of Lisa’s passing. I worked with her many years ago at Yuppie Gourmet. She was always the one who could cheer you up on the (many)frustrating days we had there. I remember when Lisa & Kurt were married — I never saw a happier bride!
Thoughts and prayers are with you.
