<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><DIV>I saw this written about her by her colleague (and friend's) blog today:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>" This is what my friend Sarah Williams said to me yesterday<BR>when we laid to rest our good friend and colleague Lisa Latchaw in the Beit<BR>Almin cemetery in Beit Shemesh. She was too young to go and too many people<BR>depend on her for her not to be around. A husband and two little kids who need<BR>her, friends, family and last, but not least, her work. Lisa was my colleague.</DIV>
<DIV>What does it mean to be a colleage in our company? We are made up of a motley<BR>group of people and yet we all respect and appreciate each other so much.<BR>Sometimes I think that our group of coworkers is representative of what society<BR>should strive for.</DIV>
<DIV>I have had the pleasure of working with smart, driven, kind<BR>wonderful people, Lisa one of them, who all had two things in common: they<BR>worked for our company and they are Olim. They have all chosen to leave behind some<BR>form of life to come to Israel and start a new one.</DIV>
<DIV>When Lisa and I were once talking she told me about how she had<BR>worked so hard for so many years to build up the typical life for herself in<BR>America: a house, cars, a career, marriage. And yet, when all that was<BR>accomplished she looked around at her empire and said, “Hey! This is not what I<BR>really want. I want to be in Israel!” They then proceeded to move to Israel and<BR>start a life for themselves in Beit Shemesh. Lisa was so skilled and capable<BR>that even though many Olim might find that they are struggling with the job<BR>market here, she worked hard and was continuously promoted.</DIV>
<DIV>Another one of my colleagues, Dawn Richman, said that we<BR>have a purpose on this earth and when we have fulfilled our goal we are taken<BR>to the next world. Maybe Lisa was so skilled that she finished her project<BR>early. I don’t know. I think I will go with Sarah on this one. I have a picket<BR>and I am picketing.</DIV>
<DIV>In our company many people work remotely and come in to the<BR>office only once or twice a month. So even though I know Lisa is gone I keep<BR>waiting for her to walk through the door, put her bags down and come over to schmooze<BR>with me. I was saving a Bon Apetite magazine for her because it has tons of<BR>recipes with chocolate and I know that she loves it.</DIV>
<DIV>We will miss you Lisa"</DIV><BR><BR>
