I am very sad for your loss, quietman. I lost one of my high school classmates last year. He wasn't the first to pass away, but he was one of the most popular guys in our class. And just a few weeks ago, one of the nurses at our Nursing Home facility was killed in a freak accident.
Both of these deaths were completely unexpected and everyone was left in a state of shock afterwards - so I've had a small taste of the pain, shock and grief you feel for Lisa. Along with the sadness and grief for the loss, the loss of a close friend suddenly reminds us of our own vulnerability and mortality. It could just as easily have been us that passed away instead of our friend. I pray that you will find comfort in your memories and that Lisa will find rest in eternal bliss. I agree that you should share your touching tribute with her family. It would be very healing for them to know how much Lisa meant to you. In fact, it would be a really good idea if you could arrange a reunion with your former gaming group and have a dinner or party in Lisa's honor. Then each of you sit down and record your own memories of Lisa and what made her special to each of you. Then put the collected tributes together and present them to her family to show how much Lisa meant to so many different people. We did that for the nurse at work. We had several coworkers write down a short tribute of what she had meant to them. I collected the tributes (there was a total of 9 pages) and put them together in a small binder for the family members. I printed several copies so each member could have their own personal copy. Maybe you and your friends could do something similar for Lisa's family to help her memory live on. May Peace and Comfort be with you during this time of loss and pain.

The wisdom that has been shared with you will hopefully be remembered so it is able to be followed. Don't worry quietman, everyone has this sadness as you do, and everyone will experience what you will. And the only way to get through this is if you have hope and faith in yourself.
