Out of resepct for her family if you do find her obituary and her real name, please be discreet with the information.  Lisa passed away suddenly(cause not yet determined)just shortly following her trip to london.  She left behind a good  family and her two cats.  
This Sunday at 7pm there will be a meeting held for providers to discuss the info we have at this time.  It doesn't matter who you are or what your reputation is ALL are invited.  Please call Tiger stclaire directly at 612-910-9522 for location information.  I will be at a church thing this weekend and will not be returing till sunday afternoon so it is important you call tiger.  
I know leading up to today many of us have had knots of worry in our stomachs. I was so upset this afternoon that I could even attend classes.  I talked to madison earlier and we both decided that this was the reason we have been feeling so stresed and emotional this week. The horrible feeling of not knowing nor what to do, has now been repalced by an entirely worse feeling. My condolences go out to her family, who have not only her death to deal with, but other factors as well.  I implore all of you not to post her real name publicaly. See you girls Sunday night.love catherine

Talk about a shock! I am just totally dumbfounded at this news!
I feel as though I just had the wind knocked out of me.
What ever reason for her passing, I just hope that she passed
on without any pain. WoW And to those providers who knew her,
just remember that we gentlemen also have worried for her
safety also and I can say that she will be missed by all.

The concerned emails about lisa from you guys have been coming in all week and now the calls are as well.

How can I doante moeny to her family?

Not sure if or how you guys could discreetly doante money to the family, but I know that it was mentioned that she would have appreceiated donations to the humane society. And this was posted by her famliy regarding her memorial service which was held a couple weeks back. Again if you should discreetly come across her obituary and then maybe you could kindly and discreetly donate that way. Where there is a heartfelt desire to be of help there is always a way. Big huge hugs to all!

.....I am just heartbroken at reading this news. Even though there had been worry and concern on this board over the past few days, nothing could have prepared me for this.

I understand the need for discretion among the providers who will be gathering this Sunday, but I hope there will be some way of passing on some limited infromation to the rest of us.... Not knowing what happend to Lisa just makes this all the harder to cope with. If there's some kind of fund to which the family would like memorials to be sent, I'm sure we'd all like to know that as well.

My thoughts are with her family, and with those of you who will be together this Sunday.

Peace.

I too would like to make a donation. If possible, please let me know how to go about this. I was also stunned at this terrible news. Thanks

I never met Lisa, but felt compelled to say something.

What a terrible tragedy. I can only imagine the pain of her friends and family. I didn't know her, but came to respect her through her postings and as other have said, I will be praying for her, her family and her friends.

Catherine and Tiger, you are great folks and our small community  is better for knowing you and having you involved. The fact your organizing this meeting to grieve and support each other is a great undertaking.

While nothing can replace the loss, when my mom passed away sometime ago, I was comforted by the following simple thought...

As time goes on your emptiness and pain will be replaced by thoughts and memories of knowing Lisa the person. Soon your tears can be replaced by a slight smile at remembering an occasion you shared together. The emptyness you feel will be replaced by the warmth of these memories and soon you will be able to celebrate her life as she would want you too.

May God rest her soul. May the peace and understanding we are all looking for come to you sooner then later.

Tuzdae has been a great help as well. And I am sure there will be others. Thanks guys

yes , I called catherine as soon as i found out and asked her to post this horrible sad thing. I received the info in disbelief this morning and had catherine help me dig around to find out more info---Im sooo shocked and saddened --im sooo numb--I remember the old days working the late nite shift with her laughing our little heads off while dreaming about our futures and the good times ..and laughing about our bad cats!!!!

--she was an amazing, brilliant,beautiful,loving and spirited being on the inside and out..
I have many many unanswered questions of her passing that I hope will some day be answered-...I hope she found peace--I will never ever forget her . I know that she touched soo many lives in the short time that she was here..--
IN Saying this...I strongly believe that as a community that we must ALL come together at a time like this and do something to prevent another one of OURS in an untimely ,unfair ,unbelievable tragedy...
sooooo  PLEASE... if you thINK OR KNOW someone is in PAIN or in DANGER in any way offer help ...
I m numb  ..
.SHE WAS SOOO BEAUTIFUL,,SOOO FULL OF LIFE AND SUCH A FIGHTER OF MIND, BODY AND SOUL!!!!!!!! ILL NEVER FORGET HER>>-MAY SHE REST IN PEACE>>>and please please pray for her family .........

I think that we need to do some type of a memorial in her name to always remember her by... any thoughts welcome...

Please take a moment and reemember our lady...she was loved greatly and will be missed even greater...
.all my love TUzdae

That is shocking to say the least.

to be perhaps a surgery gone wrong and needing time to heal......is what I initally thought when she was no where to be found.  Then when clients were saying hey I have called and nothing had an apt and no call no show.  I knew something was up.  Catherine posted to try to get a response from her since no one was gettting anywhere with calls or emails.  There has been a pit in my stomach for weeks.  All that I can say is Im sorry to those who knew her well and she will be missed.  Madison

I didn't know Lisa well, but did exchange a few phone calls with her several months ago and enjoyed talking to her, and I certainly have no doubts as to what a warm and sweet person she really was.  I am incredibly shocked and saddened by another tragic passing too early in life.  She is in my heart and prayers, as well as all of you that knew her well and are trying to cope....

Everyone take care and stay safe,
Amber

still totally in shock over the news...  i only met her once, and it was days after a loss in my life and i needed a connection of some type and she was terrific...  our time together is one i'll never forget, and her love of kitties, which i didn't know when i called her...  she gave me some advice that i eventually followed and now i wish i could have told her about all that...  so sad
