Dear Donna, I am so sad to hear of your loss. I think of you as such a wonderful loving leader. May you feel peace.
Sister Mcnair you will be truly missed by many and especially the ward. It was a pleasure getting to know you serving in primary and I loved your willingness to lend a helping hand wherever needed. Rest in heaven! My condolences to your family and loved ones through this difficult time as well.
We are so sad to hear of Lisa's passing. Lisa lovingly crocheted a beautiful blanket for our daughter when she was born. It was a kindness we won't ever forget. May your family find peace and comfort during this time.
With love,
Diane, Cody and Grace Nesbit
I am so sorry for your loss Donna. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
We are so sorry about Lisa's passing. We always enjoyed giving you both hugs and teasing her about those obnoxious skunks. She was a lovely lady and we will miss seeing her! Our prayers are with you and we know she is with family. May you feel the love of the Lord during this difficult time. With love, The Bendalls
This breaks my heart! I went to school with Lisa and then later delivered mail to Highland Cove where she was a dedicated employee! We had many battles over the Utah BYU game! She will be missed!
Dear McNair family!
I’m so sorry for your loss of your daughter and sister. I have a lot of fond memories of growing up in the neighborhood with the McNair family. We had a wonderful neighborhood. Sending prayers for comfort at this time!
Hi Donna and family,
I am so sorry for your loss! Lisa was a joy to be around. I will miss her friendship and lively conversations. She was a beautiful woman full of faith and courage!
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time.
Love,
Jeanita Thomas
I fondly remember Lisa as part of my childhood when she would come visit my Gram’s house and I was often there. She was the epitome of devotion to her mother, Donna. Lisa was so kind and laughed often and just had a really good heart. I’m so sorry for your loss and please know you all are in my thoughts.
My brother Joe let me know about Lisa today. I want to send my love and thank you Donna and Lisa for being good examples of my life. I still remember primary when Donna was the president and her back hurts so bad but she was a great leader. Lisa was always kind to me, which made a difference in my life.
