I was Deaven’s teacher at BHS. Please accept my deepest condolences. Lisa was one of the kindest, funniest, most compassionate people I have ever met. Her love for Angie and Deaven knew no bounds. Even all these years later, I can still see her sweet smile and hear her laughter. Many, many prayers for your precious family. Please hug Deaven for me.
