Lisa. . . what a special lady. I got to know Lisa well when we traveled together to the IIMC meeting in Rotterdam. After looking at the maps, we discovered that if we took the train, we could be in Paris in about five hours. How could we not do this? So, we both took a couple of extra days vacation time, and after the conference in Rotterdam was over, off we went. Neither of us had ever been to Paris, but this was a once in a lifetime opportunity! We had a wonderful time, saw Paris on foot (we were afraid to take the public transportation). We got lost a few times, but it was wonderful.
When I knew I was going to retire, I finally convinced (and it wasn't easy) Lisa to move to Temple Terrace so that in a very short time, she would be Temple Terrace's City Clerk. That was one of the smartest things I have ever done. She was a great City Clerk and served Temple Terrace well!
I will miss my friend, Lisa, but her smile and her infectious laugh will be with me always. Rest in peace Lisa . . . no more pain, no more suffering. Love you always - Pat (Jones) Dutton.
