My heart breaks each time I lose a special Heart Sister. We met during our Mayo training in 2003. Rest well sweet Alethia ❤️

My beautiful and dear, dear friend and ❤️sister Lisa is ill. She fought so hard! Please pray for Lisa, her mom, her sisters, and her loving and wonderful son. We met in 2003 at the Mayo Clinic during the WomenHeart training and event. We became fast friends; later because of the wonderful program, WomenHeart, we met again in Indiana and Washington, DC. Lisa and I kept in touch all these years, she touched my heart. Today, I was sad for no reason. I have been thinking of her as I hadn't heard from her. I read the post where she is very ill. God bless my sister Alethia. She is an inspiring true friend and an angel.

When she was just a little "Punkie", uncle Phil and I would put rice between her toes and watch her try to get it out by wiggling her toes. Not knowing she could simply use her hands to remove the rice, she quickly became frustrated. That look of sheer concentration and frustration was timeless tip today.

 I had known you and victor, “ANGEL” since 4th grade. You and mom became the best of friends, like me and Victor. All the memories, dinner dates, pool shenanigans, & terrible roller skating will be cherished forever. Even when mom and i moved to Joco, we still would come visit yall, but then life got in the way and we all got so busy; i wish i would have visited more. You know, for such a small girl, you had so much fight in you; but you dont have to fight anymore, you dont have to be in pain anymore. I promise to watch over Angel just as he did me way back then. I love you Lisa, we will all see you again one day.

Rest easy now...

I can’t think of a single memory from my young and wild days that doesn’t contain you. Countless beach days in Kemo singing every word of Slick Rick and De La Soul. The bad haircuts, red lips with black liner...first tattoos, Madonna gloves, and somewhere I know there are a thousand mixed tapes of us singing to Escape with not so perfectly crafted harmonies.

We’ve been through loves, babies and the worst kinds of losses....
Lost time you can never get back, life isn’t fair and moments aren’t guaranteed, rest easy. 

All my love. ❤️
