The family of Lisa Esparza (Elizabeth Swanson)

A mother, daughter, partner, sister, tia, cousin, and friend, has been suddenly taken from everyone who knew her. Everyone who knew Lisa loved Lisa. You simply couldn't help it. She spread light and love every single day of her life. She exemplified all that is good in the world.

Stepping into motherhood at 16 years old, the odds were against her - but Lisa's hustle was fierce. She excelled at everything she set her mind to. She was a fighter who overcame more than most could endure. She fell in love with a real one. Salomon says she saved him but she would say that he saved her too. She was his princess and he was her rock. Together these two could do anything. And they did.

Lisa leaves behind so many. Big Sal, Jacob, lil Sal, Giselle have a very long and painful road ahead. They need those who loved Lisa (and remember I said, if you knew her you loved her) to check in on them, send a message, send a meal and donate if you can. Donations will go to support TBD memorial services for Lisa and to help keep the family where their focus needs to be right now - on healing.
