I am so sorry to hear that Lisa passed away. I worked with her for many years at TSYS and she was always a bright light, helpful and a joy to work with. I will cherish the memories that she shared of her family and children through the years. God Bless her family.
We are confident in christian faith as believers in His will for our life and death. God gives us peace and comfort with assurance to know; (She is safe in His arms) "To be absent from the body is to be present with The Lord."
I am so very sorry to hear of Lisa's passing. I worked closely with her at TSYS for many years in the Nationsbank division. Lisa was a hard worker and her bubbly personality made it all bearable for the rest of us :) She will be greatly missed.
