Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Lisa sat on my first interview, she asked me "what would you do if somebody spit on you?" I responded that I did not know how the law read on this matter so I would would respond appropriately, she asked me " wouldn't it piss you off?" and I said no! she asked "what does piss you off?" and I said not much just my ex-wife! That was my second oral interview that I had ever been through but I knew I had answered right when she started laughing. Lisa and I became very close friend's over the next 10 yrs and I turned to her when I had nobody else to turn to. She helped me through times that I could never describe and her husband Ron was there too. Lisa it was because of you that I left what I thought was a good thing in my life and pursued the life that I had set aside for retirement. You my friend showed me that life is all to short and we never know when it's our time, So thanks to you I was able to get my entire family out of a place that would of done nothing but bring future harm to them and us. Lisa we love you and miss you more that words could ever say, thank you so much for the time we had!!!!!!

I am sorry that I did not know about this site earlier. As it so often happens in our profession, her loss came so quick and unexpectedly. Lisa and I came on about two years apart. She was so energetic and outgoing. We all had so much on those Reno bus trips that she organized. She was always a positive person and very professional. Lisa, you are greatly missed. God Bless!

Lisa was my cousin and one of the influences in my life that led me to a career in law enforcement. I often think of Lisa and her career and how it was cut too short. A couple of years prior to her death she was able to visit me at my station and I was proud to intorduce her to my fellow officers. I will forever remember her for what she stood for and how she helped me in my career. God bless her and her family.

I too would like to recognize Sgt Wampole and extend my gratitude for your ultimate sacrifice. We live in a world that does not always favor or even like law enforcement officers, that is why heroes like you need to be lifted up and recognized. Thank you Sarge, God Bless.

I did not know Lisa, but having recently moved to Coos County, I came upon her name after the death of a state trooper friend from Salem, Maria Magnano. It saddened me that not one person had left a note for Lisa. I just want to thank her and her family for her service to this community. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
