I had the distinct pleasure of calling Lisa my friend. She was a great co-worker at the Nevada Air Guard. Our hearts go out to her family in this time of sorrow. Rest in peace Lisa.

We worked together for a short time before I left Fallon back in 2010. Nonetheless we've always kept in touch, visiting their home in Fallon, and chatting fairly regularly on Facebook as I've continued my time in the military. I have continued talking with her son Steve Ezzell as he started his own military journey. It's sad to lose a friend, when that's all you have in these travels.

To Lisa's Family, My sincere condolences to you on the passing of Lisa. I knew her from her jr/sr high school days; always fun loving. She rode in the Titusville (PA) High School Homecoming Parade in her National Guard Uniform - can't remember the year. She was thrilled to do so -- she loved her school years. Many great memories of Lisa.
