Stella Faris - Lissa knew me as Estella Munoz

I am so sad to learn that my best friend, Lissa, is gone from this world. She left too soon! Lissa and I were best friends when we were 13 years old. I had more fun with Lissa than anyone else ever! The best one was singing and acting out the song, "On Top of Spaghetti." We bought a roll of sausage, sliced it up, and cooked it. Then, we did "On Top of Spaghetti" with each slice. I lived on the second floor of my building, but the back was the third floor, so we got a lot of exercise running up and down the stairs when we got to "It rolled in the garden, and under a bush. And then my poor meatball was nothing but mush." Best sausage I ever ate! To this day, I can´t eat sausage patties without remembering Lissa! I will miss her forever!

Lissa was such a good person. I was lucky to have her as my sister.
I am so glad that she had her daughter Sara's care during her last years.
I will miss her a lot.
