I know many of us cannot make it to Lisa’s funeral on Saturday. I’ve been reading loads of comments and emails from people who wish they could go. I thought a virtual memorial service might be the way to go for many of us.
I hope you’ll join us this Saturday afternoon at 4:00 PM Eastern, 1:00 PM Pacific, for a special show dedicated to sharing stories about Lisa. It’s a talk show at Talkshoe.com, where you can come, join in the chatroom action, call in to the show and talk about Lisa, and listen to many of Lisa’s friends do the same.
We’ll also raise more donations for Lisa’s family during the show.
If you’re not familiar with Talkshoe, go register now. It’s a fast sign-up that’ll make things much easier for you to join the show Saturday afternoon.
I’ve scheduled for two hours, though we’ll run as long as we need to.
Showtime: 4:00 PM Eastern, Saturday, March 7
Call in number: 724-444-7444
Please spread the word. I hope to see you there.
EDIT: Thanks to @cheekysweetie for pointing me in this direction…you can now have meals delivered to Lisa’s family through Make & Take Gourmet, which is in their local area.
Call 610-376-2006, ask for Kimberly. Tell them you’d like to have a meal delivered to Lisa Kelly’s house. Meals with 1 entree and 2 sides start at $25. They have Lisa’s address, you just have to mention what day you’d like the meal delivered. I scheduled a delivery for Friday and I know John and the girls can use all the home-cooked meals they can get.

There’s just so much I want to say, but I can’t get it into words.

You are such a great person. I know that Lisa is looking down on you and smiling at the wonderful things you are doing for her family!

Thanks for coming up with an idea that enables everyone who knew Lisa through the Internet to participate, regardless of the geographical distance that sets us apart. Do you know if the proceeds from the laser engraved keychains with Lisa’s design still help the family? if it is still a viable option??

I looked it up.. the link on Lisa’s post to the post that actually links to the provider’s website take you here: http://clusterfook.laserxpressions.com/
The page seems to be running, but I wanted to make sure I can still make the purchase and that the proceeds get to Dude and the girls. Maybe there’s even some funds there that no one had thought of till now….
Thanks for looking into it, Karl.. you’re the kind of guy that is a good friend even after this life

I can see Lisa’s personality in both girls! And I keep thinking about her…I’ve got a Clusterfook keychain that was on my Tree this year. Cannot eee-ven hear a Rolling Stones tune w/o thinking it was her favorite.
I woke up to a wicked thunderstorm and I laughed and thought how funny that the skies were rumbling on a day when we were going to remember her…My Gram used to tell me that it was Angels laughing.

I can’t believe this day has come. Thank you Lisa for all of your words that have inspired me. I just don’t have the words…

Today’s the day, folks. Funeral is in an hour and the virtual memorial service is at 4pm Eastern, 1pm Pacific. Hope to see you all there.

Karl, this is a wonderful idea!
I was unable to make her real service. Our new puppy had to be picked up at the vet- she was in overnight for pnuemonia.
I won’t be able to listen to the virtual memorial, either.
RIP Lisa, I hope that you are at peace.
To Lisa’s family, I am so sorry that Lisa had to leave us so soon. She was an incredible person, and you now have an angel watching over you.
