Good thoughts and love to you, Sedef.

I just found out that Lisa (Sedef) passed away on Sunday.

She was one of the most giving and loving people I have ever known - and that's saying something.

The picture is from when she and Weez came to visit Newton and me back in 2005 - my first time meeting her in person. Even more brilliant and full of heart than on-line.

Whenever I see a butterfly, I think of her - I'm glad that her fight to stay with her family lasted as long as it did - She may have been in pain, but was always quick with a kind word and a smile throughout it all. I'm glad she got for every minute she could with her family.

She and her family will always be loved and be held in the highest esteem by me. I will miss her, but her influence will always be nearby.

Thank you for being the wonderful person who I'll always remember. Good thoughts and love to you in your passing, and always.

I'm glad you're back, though this is a tricky time to return!

She was wonderful.

I want to cry, but I refuse. She wouldn't want that.

she'd be ok with a few tears poppet, she'd want you to be true to your emotions but not forget the good and the happy. she adored you, she really did. and I love that where ever we are or however long it's been we can just pick right back up with the love and craziness.

I was crying and I could here her voice calling me a "silly poopie head" LMAO. I adore all of you and I love that about us too

That is so tragic, she was young. I'm glad she's no longer in pain.

thank you so much for your kind words scotto, she thought so highly of you and the missus. Both of you have touched my heart in a major way and I thank you all the muches.
The picture made me smile so big, I'm pretty sure she'd threaten you to take it down hahaha that tickles me, but I'm so glad to see it.

Oh, this picture made me smile too. I remember that day so well, and what a joy it was to meet you. It makes me happy also to know how many hearts she touched. Someone said to me the other day that there must be a huge hole in my heart, and in some ways that's true. The part of my heart that wants to hold her hand, and see her smile, and plan new adventures is broken. But the rest she filled so full; with love and lessons and friendship and beautiful memories. Thank you for posting this picture.

I'm glad your memories are as good as my own!

I hope it's OK for me to peek in - I didn't realize that lovely Lisa had passed until yesterday - I know that you were among her most cherished friends & that scores you big brownie points in my book.

I love that photo of her - We have all been blessed to know her -
