“I miss her hugs” Remembering our daughter with Down syndrome

What incredible parents. The world needs more people like this.

She had 39 years of love... Your love, a beautiful girl ❤

This is a beautiful story. I am honored Lisa called me her friend. Lori Craig and Amanda were kind enough to share Lisa with their church family. I am a better person because I knew her. During their darkest time Lori and Craig were my light and I will never forget that. Love you all! Shine on Lisa!

I worked with Down syndrome adults when I was a nurse. I'm retired now. They are the most loving and caring people. I loved my job.

May God comfort you in your loss. I have been mother to two wonderful daughters with Down Syndrome. Lisa was fearfully and beautifully made in His image. Thank you for sharing your journey.

❤❤❤I have a son who is now 33. He is severely autistic and the love of my life. I am a better person because of him. You are fantastic people and an inspiration to others.

"HE showed up every day." I love that! God bless you! Lisa is with her Savior now. Rejoice in the mourning.

....She was demonstrating what Jesus would be like. Yes, down syndrome children are a blessing from God. Pure love, joy, and kindness. I love them so much. ❤🙏🏼❤️

I'm crying so hard because my sister was the same and it broke my heart when she passed away, God has his arms wrapped around your sweet girl just like he has my sister.💚💚💚💚

Your love for Lisa shines through. You were the perfect family for her. ❤

Wounderful parents..God bless u all❤

What an amazing story. I’ve only been a caregiver for 8 years and I’m past able to cope. I don’t know how you did it. Of course, I’m 67 and a widow and I care for my adult brain injured daughter and her children as her husband was killed in the accident. My heart reaches out to you.

Such a beautiful story! I do believe that children with Down syndrome are a gift from God. He knew how much you would love her and how much she would teach you about love. It is no wonder to me that everyone who knew her loved her. Thank you for sharing her story with us.

Tears rolling down my face through this entire video. ❤❤❤

Retired Special Education teacher here! These parents are wonderful ! That doctor would have heard this from me. " Did you know it is harder to get into Vet School than to get into Medical school? Most Vets are more CARING than most MD's! IMHO!

Wow, what an amazing story. God Bless you two. So sorry for your loss. Lisa is hugging you from heaven. God Bless. ❤️🙏

What a beautiful story. My two year old granddaughter has Down Syndrome and she is amazing! I always tell people that her extra chromosome is one of joy- the joy she has for life and the joy she brings to all of us! I feel honored that I get to be a part of her life.

Lori and Craig... As Lisa's Aunt- growing up with Lisa... I never heard the rough part of your journey.. You absolutely breathed out love onto not only Lisa- but to me.. I learned compassion and love because of what you poured out to her.. I have no idea how you found the strength and will to find enough love left over to help raise me and encourage me- but that is who God shaped you to be because of Lee Marie.. I am forever grateful to look at these photos and know I was there too.. Thank you for the courageous compassion in your hearts.. I love you.

I’m just in tears. My son is 37 and he is out in supported living with 2 other roommates. It’s a journey and hers was great. Good job mom and dad.

I can't get over that Dr that was just heartless. You were so young and still realized how precious your daughter was. Because you gave her so much love and care, she overcame so much. What a wonderful family. God bless you each and every day.
