I am so saddened to hear this. What a brave awesome woman. She helped me so much through my Mother’s battle with lung cancer. I hope her family knows how much she helped others through this blog. God Bless her and her family.

Words cannot begin to express the sadness and gratitude I feel for Lisa and her family. We found out my Mother had lung cancer last May and this past summer I came apon Lisa’s blog and have followed it ever since. She gave me hope and inspiration which helped my encourage my mother through her battle. Unfortunately my Mothers battle ended in November and I will never be the same again, so I can fully feel and understand the pain all of you are feeling now. This past month I have been checking this page everyday knowing with my heart that Lisa was not doing well and also knowing that one day I would check this page and see what I saw today and I am very sad. I feel I knew her and I am thankful I was guided to this blog never realizing my Mother would be gone so quickly. Lisa’s family will be in my prayers that God will give them the strength that she gave to so many of us.

RIP Lisa. I followed her journey since the beginning and she helped me understand the fight that my brave mother-in-law battled for 16 months before she passed.
Prayers from Sydney, Australia.
