Dear Karin, Fred, Erin & Family, & Ryan,

I’m so sorry for your loss. I will always remember Lisa’s bright smile. Lisa, may you be free of pain.

I worked with Lisa she was a lovely lady and had a wonderful sense of humour, heartfelt condolences to the family.

Fred, Karin and family,

Our heartfelt condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

We knew Lisa through her husband Ryan and his family. When she came to curl with us a couple of times her smile and laugh would fill the room. The conversation was never dull when you had Lisa at your table. She connected with everyone so well and fit right in like she was part of the curling league. It was here that she asked my husband Kim and I to join her and Ryan on the Family and Friends day for Dragon Boating. We love to paddle too and this sounded exciting.

I will never forget that day. Poured rain, cold as stink. Lisa greeted Kim and I. I thought they would cancel for sure. It was the opposite. Lisa and her team-mates were almost oblivious to the weather. They embraced it. So out we went.

Lisa sat in front of us and at her command we paddled, or leaned out more, or went faster, or dug in to stop. The rain never stopped but the water was so calm and warm. Just like this fearless warrior ahead of us. It was a day we will always remember and thanks to Lisa she made it happen.

Peace be with you now Lisa - your memory will live on forever and especially when Kim and I hold our paddles.

And peace be with you Ryan and your families.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. I had the pleasure to work with Lisa throughout her years at CP. She was an absolute pleasure to know, loved her enthusiasm, energy for life and love for her family. Unfortunately, her life was cut way too short but the life she lived was full of life, humour, compassion, determination and strength. I am so very blessed to have had the opportunity to know Lisa. She was truly one of kind and so very special. Lisa will be greatly missed.

Please accept my sympathies and condolences on your loss. Wishing you strength and comfort during this difficult time.

My thoughts are with you at this time. I was a work colleague of Lisa at CPKC and will miss her optimism and energetic spirit. With deepest sympathy. In honour and memory of Lisa, a donation has been made to the Canadian Cancer Society in the hope the critically important work can continue.

My most heartfelt condolences and sympathies to the Fetterley and Schoenberger families for the loss of your beautiful daughter, sister, wife and aunt. We have truly lost one of the most beautiful souls there was. Gone way too soon.

I had the absolute privilege and pleasure of being Lisa’s friend first, but also co-worker at CPKC since 2014. For approx. 5 of those years, we spent together side by side working on what we called our “small but mighty team” in Compensation. We made such a great team and I have so many fond memories of our time together in Comp (along with Anita/Kathie/Justine/Keisha). During those years working together, we grew very close. She was a warrior with such a big heart and a very caring nature. Her passion for life was very addictive and I truly feel she taught me so much about living life to the fullest. If anyone knew Lisa, they knew she spoke her mind and that is what I loved most about her. She had a love for anything fuchsia pink, her nails always done just so in the most wonderful colors, her passion for dragon boat, walks around the pond at work, going to football games, her plans for early retirement with Ryan at the farm, hiking and being outdoors. What was most important to her was the love she shared with her wonderful husband Ryan, such a proud aunt to her nieces and nephew and love for her whole family overall was very evident as I felt like I knew them all through everything we would share with each other. I can still see her walking around the pond at lunch in one of her many beautiful dresses she always loved to wear to the office with the biggest smile on her face always. She will forever be in my thoughts and heart and will be so greatly missed. I truly feel so lucky to have had the time I had with her and will cherish that friendship forever. I know she is now watching over us cheering us on … Miss you already my friend xoxo

My heartfelt condolences. I am still in a state of disbelief.

Lisa was an amazing individual. She loved life to its fullest - from her husband Ryan, to hiking, Dragonboating, the farm, and of course her dressing in her super bright coloured outfits for all occasions with matching shoes.

Lisa always had a smile on her face. She inspired so many people with her enthusiam and positive attitude for life.

The world lost an Angel. She will be greatly missed.

Dear Fred, Karen, Erin and family: My deepest condolences on the passing of your beloved daughter, Lisa. During this very difficult time, may you find peace and strength in the many fond memories you have shared with Lisa. I met she and Erin a few times over the years, and her loss is immeasureable, although her spirit will live on in the hearts and souls of those who knew and loved her. In siincere sympathy and caring thoughts. Cindy McCullough

Dear Ryan, I'm so sorry for your loss. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

Dear Ryan, My deepest sympathy and condolences to you and your family.

Dear Karin & Fred,

Sometimes there are no words in a situation such as this. Just know that Bill and I are deeply sorry for your loss. I can only imagine how you are feeling as I also have a 41 year old and his loss would be devastating. Breast cancer took my mother and several aunts. All you have to do is put one foot in front of the other and get through one day at a time. Time will move differently. Be kind to yourselves. Do whatever feels right to you. Grief is the price of love. It will help to rebuild your lives. Your family, caring friends and your memories will give you strength. I enjoyed hearing many entertaining stories about Lisa, Erin and their families when I was working with Fred. Give Sweet Pea a pet for me the next time you see her…she’s missing her “mom”.

Our thoughts are with you,

Barbara & Bill Graveland

My condolences to you and your family for your loss. May loving memories bring you strength and comfort.

Ryan, my deepest sympathy and condolences for you and your family's loss. My thoughts are with you at this time.

Ryan,

My sincere condolences to you and your family on your loss.

Ryan, my deepest condolences to you and your family during these difficult times.

Sean and Lori Peacock

Condolences to you,Karin and Fred and the family, what a tremendous loss and heartbreak for you all. I still remember Erin and Lisa coming over to my house in Candiac when they were very young. It's hard to accept the passing of a loved one but hopefully time will ease the pain and just the wonderful memories of Lisa will remain.

Karin and Fred, my heart aches for you both, your family and friends. Please know so many have you in their hearts after the passing of precious Lisa.

Karin and Fred, I am heartbroken for you both, your family and friends. Please know so many have you in their hearts at the loss of your precious Lisa.

Fred and Karin. Our hearts break for you. I worked with Lisa for a few years at CP through HR/Payroll before I knew she was your daughter. You should be very proud of everything she was and accomplished. Our most heartfelt condolences.

Carmela and Harley

Fred and Karin. Worked with Lisa in HR for a few years before I knew she was your daughter. Very special person and always so positive and upbeat.

Our hearts break for you. Harley and Carmela

I worked with Lisa at CP in SER department. She was a great friend to me. We used to go for lunchtime walks, and one day I tripped going up the stairs at the entrance to the office, and Lisa laughed that wonderful laugh of hers, I will remember forever. She continued to enjoy bugging me about being so clumsy throughout the years! Lisa was an incredible woman, and she will truly be missed. Fly high, Lisa

Dearest loved ones of Lisa- our family sends its love to all of you from Pincher Creek.. a place that we got to share and enjoy with Ryan and Lisa on their adventures. We will miss 'getting lost' together on the trails, eating snacks and admiring the beauty of nature with you, Lisa. Lots of love from Chris, Ola, Evelette and William

Fred, Karin and family, so sorry for the loss of your beloved daughter Lisa, please take comfort in the many memories you have all shared and created over the years, these I’m sure will help you all get through the many difficult days and weeks ahead.

Lisa had a beautiful soul and was an amazing lady. It was a joy to work with her and she will be deeply missed.

I am truly sorry for your loss and send my condolences and strength through this difficult time.

I am very sorry for your loss.

Lisa talked about dragon boating almost every day while we worked together and I thought to myself, well it must be a fun sport if she can't stop talking about it. Because of her passion, I joined our corporate team and was hooked immediately. Although we never had the chance to paddle together (she left the corporate team to persue more competitive avenues), her enthusiasm did bring me to into a world that brought her so much joy.

Lisa's spirit will be missed by many and I will greatly miss our workplace banter.

I am so sorry for your loss….

Lisa was an exceptional worker, leader and friend. I first met her in 2014 but then started working directly with Lisa in the Safety department in 2019. In this role she immediately began to improve our processes, took our analytical capabilities to a new level and always demonstrated that commitment and an unrivaled work ethic could be balanced with respect and caring for others.

According to the org chart, I was one of her bosses. Apparently, what that meant to Lisa was she had to be “respectful” when she would tell me what to do. I say this only partly in jest as anyone that knows Lisa is anything but surprised. I learned early on that instead of assigning her a task, you simply let her overhear you say that there is a really tough problem that you don’t know how to fix…..she would jump in immediately.

Every morning Lisa would get to her desk and start her day by 0700. Shortly afterward on most days I would stop by with my coffee, and we would discuss non-work-related matters (e.g. dragon boating!) followed by the key challenges in Safety for the day. I truly cherished these discussions and already miss them.

Lisa loved a job well done, she loved family, and she loved her husband Ryan who was mentioned by Lisa no less than three times a day in conversation. She’s an incredible person and I will miss her.

I am so sorry for your loss. Lisa was an amazing person and friend and she will be missed.
