For those who never met Lisa Atkinson, a review of the memories saved on the CMN listserv provides a sense of her impact on the community. A deep respect for Lisa’s superb and moving songwriting abilities is the most common thread, followed by references to her energetic spirit. One person wonders, “How God could squeeze so much power and energy into such a petite frame?” There are numerous mentions of her loving and nurturing nature, followed by her humor, wit, and joy.
The purpose of PIO! is met fully in honoring Lisa’s song as this issue’s CMN anthem. We will pass on the songs; we will pass on the memories; we will pass on Lisa’s spirit.
