My deepest sympathy on Lissa's passing. I was her House sister in the SCA and always enjoyed spending time together.

My condolences to the family. Melissa was my friend. We shared good times at Lions events and when my Tom passed she knitted me a prayer shawl. My Tom loved to tease her but she never quite knew how to take him. She’d just say “Oh! Tom!” He’d laugh. I will miss her.

May her memory be eternal. I knew Lissa through the SCA and camping with her at Pennsic. She was sweet and a wonderful person to get to know and spend time with.
