Welcome to my Home Page
This Website and its contents are dedicated to all my beautiful children and to loving family, whom I love deeply.
Often we cannot be near the ones we hold so close in our hearts and this can be so difficult, almost unbearable. The Internet affords us the ability to (hopefully) bring those loved ones closer and to ease this pain by allowing people like me to fill these pages with information, loving messages, family news, and expressions of love, hopefully finding their way to those who are separated from us by choice or otherwise.
THIS is my small tribute I leave for my children and future grandchildren, praying with all my heart that they will someday soon will be in my arms again.♥
( Sincerely Lisa / loving Mom / respectful Daughter / caring Sister / genuine Friend / awesome Aunt, and darling Niece)

My son
with his Uncle Brad and Cousin, Will Hatch
Such a sweet and loving Uncle, Brad wrote Alex throughout his Mission and gave monetary support along with moral and emotional help. As we celebrate Alex's return, a few days later, cousin Will Hatch is off to South Africa for his two years of serving others and bringing them the gospel of Jesus Christ ♥
"Held"
by Natalie Grant
( Sung here by my friend Michelle Moyer )
Two months is too little
They let him go
They had no sudden healing
To think that providence
Would take a child from his mother
While she prays, is appalling
Who told us we'd be rescued
What has changed and
Why should we be saved from nightmares
We're asking why this happens to us
Who have died to live, it's unfair
This is what it means to be held
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive
This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was when everything fell
We'd be held
This hand is bitterness
We want to taste it and
Let the hatred numb our sorrows
The wise hand opens slowly
To lilies of the valley and tomorrow
This is what it means to be held
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive
This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was when everything fell
We'd be held
If hope is born of suffering
If this is only the beginning
Can we not wait, for one hour
Watching for our Savior?

♥ During the many years my children were out of my life, the song "Held" made me deeply cry from the depths of my soul, every time I heard it and thought about them growing up without me ....
It still does.
It touches my heart, and reminds me that the Holy Ghost (sometimes called Positive Spiritual Energy or actual Spirits of loved ones around us now) comes in times of despair, and wraps their loving arms around our broken hearts and HEALS them... literally! Telling us that although life is tough, we are following God's path for us, we will be Held, and that it will be worth it. I have actually felt it many times all my life,
TRUE fact!

The LOVE of a Mother...makes you do (what appears to be) mad things ♥
"My greatest drive in life to be a righteous Mother, a righteous Woman, and to be married with a righteous father for my children, has always been my great love for my precious gifts from God, Andrew, Jacob, Michael, Jordan, Austin, Alex!
The great desire to try to be a Godly mother raising a righteous family for my children , I humbling dedicate this song to them, so that they know that if I could have, or can today, have done more in life for them, to bring them happiness, success and love...I would, and will, do it ten times over... which hopefully they understand.
I wish I could have shielded them from all of life's challenges and the growth that their father and myself went through while they were growing up.
My children may not fully understand until they have children of their own, that they are the REASONS why I chose and choose the path to God (and Godly example) to show them my great and tender love.
The world makes it way too easy to live a fun, selfish and immoral life and to spread hate. It takes true courage to stand up for what is right and allow God to work on us from the inside out.
I pray that through my example I will have left this good example with them and that someday they will be BRAVE enough to take one step closer." ♥♥oxox♥♥

I pray you’ll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don’t know
Let this be our prayer
When we lose our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe
La luce che tu dai
I pray we’ll find your light
Nel cuore restera
And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarci che
When stars go out each night
L’eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c’è
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe
Sognamo un mondo senza piu violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace e di fraternita
La forza che ci da
We ask that life be kind
E il desiderio che
And watch us from above
Ognuno trovi amore
We hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentro a se
Another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Just like every child
Needs to find a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe
E la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salvera
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don’t know
Let this be our prayer
When we lose our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe
La luce che tu dai
I pray we’ll find your light
