They say that cousins are often your first friends. That would certainly be the case with Lisa and I. So many Sundays were spent at our grandparents' home on Pearl Street. Lisa was always in the middle of the action, having fun, eating fritos and racing around 'down cellar' or out back with all the other cousins as we checked out the old car left in the woods. There were 11 of us and it was quite a group !! Later on, when Lisa and family had relocated to New Jersey, and my family had relocated to the Philadelphia area, we got to see each other from time to time. Sometimes, when Lisa was off for a weekend at a nearby college (where she was studying animal husbandry) she would stop by and stay for a meal, delighting in playing with our daughter, Tara. Those were fun times but, eventually, we both moved on to different locations and lost touch a bit. As we got older we would catch up, usually in Florida, at various occasions, some happy and some sad, where we would spend a few minutes together. Loved that....she was so strong, professional and caring. It was a long time from those days on Pearl Street, but she still had eyes that sparkled and a smile that lasted forever. I am honored to have called Lisa my cousin and my sweet friend. With love, Karen
