RIP Lisa! Lisa had a post a while back about everything going so well for her. Of course I informed her it would never last, wish I hadn't said that now, even in jest. Things sure have a way to come back and haunt you. I used pay-pal for an e-bay purchase the other night and on checkout they asked for a donation of a buck for breast cancer research. I checked the box, thankfully. Best dollar I've ever spent.

Our local Safeway store gives the option to donate for various causes when you check out. Breast cancer being one of them. I give as often as I can. Cancer is a vicious desease. I remember when Hughs wife did the walk for breast cancer a couple years back. (She is a breast cancer survivor) :) Our family helped sponser her.

My mom had breast cancer over 20 years ago, survived and now is living with inoperable lung cancer. Yes, cancer really sucks.

Wow, so sad :( she was quite a character. I only really saw her OT contributions. RIP and condolences to her family and friends.

my 944 dash sports a yellow daffodil for breast cancer awareness here in NZ. i crew for my friend who races a 924 in the NZ Targa. Last year his wife won her battle against breast cancer and now we crew for her in a peugeot too. both cars are painted up to support the breast cancer society and spread awareness. Its one of those things people can't know enough about.

When I posted here about my own medical emergency earlier in the year, Lisa was one of the first to mail me with her best wishes and encouragement in that endearing no-nonsense, "just get her done" Aussie style of hers.

She was a wonderful person. RIP.

If there is a lesson to be drawn from this sad story it must surely be that we should all go out and get tested regularly for this terrible disease—because early detection is the key to winning against it.

I'm completely shocked. She didn't look older than my wife and I. She was a class act. RIP, Lisa.

Terrible news. Rest in peace, Lisa.

What a sad day this has been. My thoughts and prayers go out to Lisa's family and friends...

Condolences to her family and friends.

I remember reading her posts not so very long ago - very sobering to hear of her passing.

I believe that anyone who has ever revved a flat 6 and/or surfed a large and beautiful wave - at least once in their lifetime - has achieved something very special. I know Lisa accomplished at least the first and therefore lived as only a few selected souls can - and for that I am very happy for her.

My next wave I will surf for Lisa. My next flat 4 rev - will be for Lisa.

God speed love.....

I think we can leave that as "the world has really lost a shining star..."
Always had that homespun way of saying something profound and caring. The world is a poorer place without her in it.

This entire year really sucks.

Truly saddening. My thoughts are with the family. I know exactly what the nightmare is those poor kids are going through. May they have comfort knowing their mum was a kick-ass mum.
4 weeks, bloody hell, that is not enough time to get your affairs in order. Heart wrenching.

I didn't know what this thread was about when I clicked on it. I thought maybe someone famous, or maybe someone's sister or spouse had passed away. I lost my dad five years ago and I usually avoid these kinds of threads because I don't like to think about it. I NEVER thought for a second it could be about our Lisa.

Like everyone else, I am in shock. It's a terrible loss to our little community, but I really feel for her family right now. Lisa was one of the good ones. Godspeed.

Amen to that.

They can only get better from here on in.

Yup. I'm just returning from being away and this is devastating news.

We love Lisa_Spyder.

I dusted off the 911 and did a drive around the peninsula thinking of Lisa. As an extra mark of respect I kept the revs above 4k. God bless you Lisa.

wow. can't believe what I'm reading :( RIP Lisa!

:(

Been down in the dumps all day after I found out. Lisa was a great help many times when I needed info or advice and she used to post a lot on the Australia/New Zealand regional forum - and not always about Porsche - we all felt we knew her well, as well as her family.

It's now the Dimming of the Day and tomorrow life goes on for the rest of us.

RIP Lisa - you will not be forgotten.

I'm still freaking out that it was all over in 4 EFFIN WEEKS. That poor family. I have been through this as a teen and I would wish it on no-one.
Every time I hear of a young person dying all I can think of is that Terry Jacks song, Season's in the Sun.

I am VERY stunned!

My prayers to her and her family, she will be missed and remembered by many. She touched all our lives!
