"One hour on the phone with you helped me more than my therapist has for the last six months. Especially the way you listened and gave me targeted, doable bits of advice. Thank you so much."

"Everyone needs a Care Opus from Lisa. It's the greatest gift you can give your family as you contemplate your end."

"You have seen my many difficulties and with your marvelous skills and vision, have gone beyond other people's reasoning and abilities to make things happen. How does one even begin to say thank you, Lisa?"

"At every level with doctors, lawyers, pharmacists, insurance agents, financial institutions, and the IRS, Lisa has worked in a very professional manner with grace, intelligence, and patience. She is honest, trustworthy, dependable, strong, tenacious, and compassionate. Her nursing background has been invaluable, and her years as a Peace Corps volunteer in Tanzania added to her 'I can do anything' confidence. Lisa is a wonderful person whose broad base of knowledge, attentional to detail, and many capabilities put my life back together."

"Thank you so much, Lisa, for being there for me through this crisis. Your personal guidance throughout this terrible time, not knowing the outcome of my husband's stroke, was so important in helping me navigate the maze – while in a haze. I was very impressed with your professional expertise in handling the crucial 'pull the plug' conversation in a conference call with our family and the medical team. At every pause, you repeated and summed up what the doctors had just said. This was so helpful for all of us to know we were doing the right thing."

"We would have never known about the crucial deadline to enroll in standard Medicare if you hadn't so expertly coached us and in the nick of time, too. Thanks to you, with only 30 minutes left on the clock, the staff at my brother's care facility business office was able to execute his transition from Medicare Advantage to standard Medicare. Thank you very much, Lisa!"

"Lisa was very helpful in answering my questions on the POLST (Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment) and Advance Directive forms."

"Lisa is a rare bundle of brains, energy, empathy, and humor! Her background in nursing and hospice have served us well – from accessing palliative care for my husband into hospice and beyond. After his death, she spent months organizing a very scattered and complicated set of affairs. Lisa dealt with countless contacts including banks, lawyers, insurance salesmen, and accountants. She is totally dependable and a proactive self-starter. Lisa is a gem!"

"When we spoke about my (then) impending surgery, your suggestion was one of the most valuable pieces of information that I got. Your words and wisdom were the doorway that turned a perceived negative into something very meaningful. I thank you deeply, Lisa."

"Lisa, I want to thank you. I'm like so many people who put off researching and preparing for their inevitable demise and now I can proudly say, 'I feel good!' because I know what's coming next. Thank you for leading me into the future with your gentle clarity."

"What a wonderful, helpful, and comforting way you have in discussing and sharing the reality of what we all must face – death, a subject our society has heretofore considered taboo!"

"Working with you has brought me peace in looking into those places we tend to not want to go. With your guidance, it wasn't so bad, and I have newfound reverence for my life and those in it. Having clarity, and giving clarity to those still living, brings them peace in knowing what to do and what my preferences are. I am grateful to you, Lisa, for your help with its many insights."
