Beautiful messages from friends along the road...

"Sunnyside is slightly less sunny without you and your verve, energy and yet thoughtful calmness. Wishing you people that welcome you, appreciate you and inspire you too."

"You have the courage to make decisions others can only dream about...you are a born leader. You are an inspiration to many and an unbelievable amazing and kick ass friend to me. You give 100% in everything you do. The Lisa I know always wants to challenge herself and get the most out of life. Your shoes say "No fear" - your head says bring it on. I'm going to miss you, the tea, the oversized coloured cups, the Lisa on the bike never stopping, the Lisa who took off my door, painted the room and built the wardrobe, the painter, circuit champion and Taekwondo dancer yet there is a big bold world out there that needs Lisa and it's yours for the taking!"

"Lisa, genius ninja and lovely free-spirit, the world is a brighter and better place for you being in it. All the best on your travels, I know that good things will come to you. Hope you're back this way at some point in the great unknown future. Will miss you like crazy! Homeslice!"

"Dear Lisa - thank-you so much for all your wonderful help and inspiration! People like you are rare. Keep your enthusiasm, talent and smile up!"

"as Ali himself might say, you the greatest - the double greatest even! I've had a brilliant trip and got to see what a good friend you are to me and others, all the time."

"keep spreading the joy Lisa and help us all come alive."

"You're so friendly and crazy, we could share so much time with a laugh. I love your character. I was glad that you were trying to listen to what I said. Thank-you for trying to understand carefully. Your painting makes everybody happy - never stop painting!! Wishes you all the best with lots of love."

"Thought I would give you this small gift as a token to thank you so much for your wonderful gift to me - your total trust and friendship and for being the lovely person you are; a funny - little, gorgeous, little Irish - talkin', rapid-fire sweet-talker of a woman...who blew me away from day one! You are a very precious individual...the world is a much better place for having people like you within it..."

"I will miss you so much. Thank-you for always being a true friend. To know you is to love you, you truly bring joy to the world."
