To the Santiago Family,
Our deepest condolences.
The Manzi Family
For a second you were flying
Like you always wanted to
Now you’ll fly forever
In skies of azure blue
We’ll see your smile in every ray
Of sunshine after rain
And hear the echo of your laughter
Over all the pain
The world’s a little quieter now
The colours have lost their hue
The birds are singing softly
And our hearts are missing you
Each time we see a little cloud
Or a rainbow soaring high
We’ll think of you and gently
Wipe a tear from our eye
There are many people that we meet in our lives but only a very few will make a lasting impression on our mind and hearts. These people will always listen and talk to you. They will care about your happiness and well-being. They will except you for who you are and they will support you at all times or knock some sense into you 😉
I am fortunate to have been apart of knowing such a person. Lisa, you took me in as one of your own many many many years ago. Thank you for giving me my best friend and always welcoming me with open arms!My heart breaks knowing you are no longer here.. I hope we make you proud. Please continue to watch over everyone. Thank you for always being you. We love you so much!

You were her life and her love of family was insurmountable! You have had the best possible mother ever! God bless you all.
