I’am so sorry for your loss she was so full of life and so young to be taken from family and friends
Lisa, I love you so much and my heart is breaking right now. I’m mad at myself because I haven’t gotten to see you in a long time which I’m feeling guilty for. I’m remembering all the good times we had growing up. You brought me to my first several concerts which I had a blast. I had so much fun visiting Grandma Mary’s when you were there. We stayed up all night at grandmas talking because we couldn’t sleep. Going out to the barn at our house and Grandma always coming out and yelling from the deck for you to get out of the barn. I remember holding Brandon when he was a baby while we laid in your bed so your mom could go get coffee. I still remember when I was 4 or 5 at Christmas and Grandma Mary gave you a baby alive which ate, pooped and peed and I got a doll that did nothing so I was so jealous of you! (I was so mad I chewed up the hand on my doll, I still have pictures of this). You were so excited when you were pregnant with Ben. I remember you telling me that you and Kate Hudson were due at the same time. You were so happy to be a Mom and so proud of Ben. You showed us around New York City in 2005 after the World Trade Center was gone. I had so much fun in New York with you. My favorite picture of us at the World Trade Center site. I have so many fond memories of us growing up and I will cherish them forever! You were too young to leave this world. I hope you are pain free and at peace now. I love you cousin, Mandy

Lisa was also known for her fantastic sense of humour, and ‘quick to laugh’ cheerful temperament. She could always see the funny or laughable side of people. I had the pleasure of knowing Lisa since my 1st birthday. We grew up together, seeing each other outside of school, and then reconnected again in our early 20’s in NYC where we avoided a lot of trouble and had a lot of fun! She was a lovely girl, and a good mom. She loved her son and her mom more than anything in the world. She’ll be missed. RIP Lisa Ann Anderson. xx
