I last saw Lisa in April when I was in Aberdeen on business. She drove all the way just to join me for dinner so I could have at least one meal with a friendly face. <br /><br />She and I went back and forth for a few months on this advice column type of rant. I decided we should do that for real and call our column or show "GO TO L" since she is Lisa and I am Lori. We added a bit of limey slang to it to make it funny. We would say, If you need to know what purse to carry with that dress, just GO TO L! Want to know what wine goes well with steak, GO TO L! I had so much fun with Lisa. I will miss her so so very much. <br /><br />I don't know why but I decided to google her name and your blog was the first entry. I opened it a read this. WOW! I had no idea this happened so recently, and after her affirmation party. I only wish I knew what she was thinking. My talks with her were never that dark. She was concerned about being a big girl but I (and I am sure everyone else that knew her) told her she was being ridiculous. She is one of the most feminine ladies I know and I told her so. That night at dinner in Aberdeen, she talked about not being concerned if people could "read" her but she kept looking at another table and commenting how she thought they were reading her, us, and she wished they would stop. <br /><br />I am sorry for taking so much of your space and time. I will stop here because, frankly, I am losing my composure.<br /><br />Sophie, you are beautiful, inside and out. Thank you for calling her therapist and please do it again for the next girl, even if it is me.<br /><br />Lori Martin<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242321492229602144.post-52148638062387457192013-09-18T19:04:04.180-04:002013-09-18T19:04:04.180-04:00Devastating.

I did not know her but it broke my heart just the same. I wanted.. no I needed to know more. After doing a "google" search I came here to your sacred space seeking something, anything, to give me a glimpse of who the lovely woman Lisa Empanada was. I apologize for this intrusion, but I found it here. I am beyond moved and I thank you for allowing me, if even inadvertently, this opportunity to know Lisa for just a moment and shed tears for a beautiful spirit that is now free. I am so sorry Sophie for the loss of your dear friend. My heart hurts for all of you. pynkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00209160836675365647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242321492229602144.post-76180855892765793282013-09-17T23:50:05.449-04:002013-09-17T23:50:05.449-04:00I know.
