Lisa was preceded in death by her parents, Donald and Gloria (Brewer) Connell; and a nephew, Lucas Wiggins.

Kendall, I don''t know if you remember me, but I taught at Trenton High School during the short time you were there. I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom, especially now that you are a young mom yourself. I know your heart is breaking right now, so I will send a prayer your way that you and your sweet little boy will find some comfort.--Mrs. Dannar

Kendall - Words seem inadequate to express the sadness I feel for you, Landon, and your family. Although no words can really help to ease the loss you suffer, I want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Remember that I love and care about you, and I am here if you need me.
