I am so very sorry for your loss Ken. Love, prayer & hugs..God bless you & your family always!
When God calls our loved ones on he knows it’s a void and grief he sends us comfort in different ways my prayers are with all May God bless each
My condolences to the family and my prayers are for you all..Lisa was a true light and her life will always bring joy to my soul..
Ernestine Andrea I am so sorry for your loss, still so young and so beautiful , a very sweet person ,my prayers are with you
Not sure where to start…Lisa was such a huge part of my life for the last 9 years. She made me mad and she made me laugh. She listened to my stories and gave me her best recipes. She gave me crap about being an Auburn fan and listened to me cry when my daughter was sick. She was so important to me and she didn’t even know it. She was the hardest working manager I have ever known and expected us all to have the same drive. To know she is gone has left such a huge hole in so many lives. Her smile, laugh, caring heart will be missed by many. I can easily say ” I love You” and wish I could say it to her and give her a hug. She has instilled in me work ethics that has helped me to move on but I will always remember the impact you made on my life.
Miss Ermestine and Andrea,
This is Kelli Newman. We lived across the street when Lisa, Andrea, Neville, and I were children. I am so very sorry to hear of Lisa’s passing. I had actually thought about her a couple of days ago and decided I would look her up on Facebook to see if I could find her, but the opportunity slipped by. She was a delightful child of whom I have very fond memories. I see from her obituary that she had a large family of her own. I so wish we had not lost touch. Neville and I will pray that the Lord comforts you both as well as her husband, children, and grandchildren.
So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all
It was a pleasure to have know her. She was a great boss to all that worked at Bed, Bath and Beyond.
Ms. Ernestine and Lisa I was so sorry to hear about the loss of Lisa. She was truly a blessing in my life. It was a pleasure being around her and knowing how sweet she was and the genuine love she had for people. Praying for you all in this season. May God comfort and keep you all.
We are so broken hearted by the loss of a VERY special lady.. We pray that “the peace of God that surpasses all understanding “… fill your hearts during this difficult time! Philippians 4:7
Andrea and Ernestine,
I am heartbroken for you, Ken, and Lisa’s entire family. Just like her mom and sister, Lisa was such a vivacious, strong, intelligent, and kind-hearted person. Her love for her family was always admirable. I pray that you somehow find comfort in the wonderful ways that Lisa impacted others with her warmth and joy. Much love to all of you.
Ken Wilson & family, her mother & sister,
So sorry to hear of your loss. She was a wonderful person & touched so many lives in all the facets of her life. God bless you all during this time of bereavement & the years ahead. My thoughts & prayers are with you all.
I am so sorry. We grew up living next to each other. She was a wonderful, beautiful friend. Prayers for family.
Lisa took such good care of everyone around her. Every family gathering we knew she would come with hands full of her traditional dishes and something new that we would love. She loved and knew more about college football than anyone else I know. We always looked forward to game days at the barn every season. She & I loved sharing ideas for parties, decorating & southern dishes. My heart hurts that you are gone all too soon.
I had the pleasure of meeting Lisa last month at her work. She and my husband were classmates in high school. We stood and talked for a long time. She had such a great personality. Our deepest sympathy to you all.
May God give you all peace and comfort.

This breaks my heart. Prayers for the family, especially Ken. Thinking about you and your family, Mr. Wilson.
I worked with Lisa several years ago she was a great leader, advocate and friend. She was a constant source of energy, laughter and light. She was thoughtful, driven and giving. She treated people like they were part of her extended family. I know that I am a better person for having known her and she will be greatly missed. My heart is saddened to hear that another angel on earth now has wings. May God comfort your family through this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Amanda and Zachary Kindle
