This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Lisa-Fe Roldan who was born on 1971 and passed away on July 24, 2010. We will remember her forever.
Words really can't capture her essence: thoughtful, gentle, sweet, kind, compassionate, generous, fun-loving, adventurous, courageous, curious, wise, hardworking, organized, efficient, speedy...There aren't enough adjectives to describe her. Just this range of adjectives that leaps to mind reflects her many shades and dimensions. In everything that she did, she gave of her self--whether it was baking for friends and family, volunteering as a reader to young children, delivering meals to the elderly, sorting baby clothes for New York Cares, finding deals for friends, knitting blankets for loved ones, responding to work emails during dinner...She lived many rich lives in her 39 years. She has touched many lives around the world, and the cries for her loss are echoing throughout. As we mourn for her, let us also celebrate her joy in life, her compassion for others, and her love for family and friends.
In remembrance of, and as a tribute to Lisa Fe, two funds are setup in her name. Please make donations to any of the following 2 organizations:
Tribute # 26372378 (Please be sure to reference this number. With each donation, a card will be sent to her parents, reminding them of the continued giving in Lisa Fe's name.)
It did not take much time for me to fall in love with Lisa Fe. Her beauty, physically, and inwardly, and her many wonderful qualities were immediatly apparent. Every thursday evening she would arrive at my apartment. I was always greeted with a big bright smile, a kiss, and bags of food, gifts, knitting supplies and books that always necessitated more than one trip. When I reflect upon our year together, I realize that I neglected family and friends during that time, so much did I love being just with her. Lisa Fe somehow found time for me, as well as her many friends, and her family. I came to be very careful about mentioning things that I needed or wanted because when i did, the next time I saw her, there it would be. To Lisa Fe, the happiness of others far superseded her own. We got together with friends of mine, who had recently gotten engaged, people she was meeting for the first time. Lisa Fe had an engagement gift for them. It was the only engagement gift that they received. We enjoyed a pleasant evening. Soon after they left I was sent a text message that said " We love Lisa Fe" Those who were not fortunate enough to have Lisa Fe touch their lives, will think that much of what has been written, has been overstated. The opposite is the case, there are not enough words to do her justice. She is the most beautiful soul that any of us will ever know. I loved every moment we spent. We never had a disagreement, or a harsh word. I have lost the love of my life. I remain in body only: everything else has left me. I think of nothing but her, and pray every day, that we will be together again. With My one and only love. Glenn
This photo was taken near a restaurent at
95, Greene st, NJ. She always had time for everyone. Sad to hear that you are no more.
Last time Lisa Fe and I were together was at 570 Washington Street about 3 or 4 years ago. We were discussing something about work – a database monitoring tool. Later on I left Merrill but she and I kept contacting through electronic tools. I had never expected the next time we met would be at her funeral.
She left us too early.However, life is not about quantity but about quality. She had lived so well with high quality.
