Sad to learn of the passing of such a vivacious force of nature. The fun levels in the great beyond have just gone up a notch or two. Sending love to the family at this time. xx
Lisa, I will forever cherish fond memories both from our sessions at Anytime, and then later through ZB - your crazy life stories, your passion and you infectious joy for life. I carry many of your life lessons with me still to this day and hope you are enjoying a good ole party up there with your mum and anyone else game enough to keep up x

What a lovely collection of photos. It was nice seeing pictures to connect to all her stories she would tell me of her travels with her family. She loved her family dearly and it's great how she never shy away from the camera that you have these to look back on. Lisa has always been the smiley woman I knew.
