This is Lisa's daughter, Mariah. I just wanted to let everybody know that while driving to work, she was swept away in the river. She had been missing since yesterday at 6 a.m. but this morning, firefighters found her body in her car. She was the best person I know. She was also more than a fantastic wife and mother, the best any of us could ask for.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 483 of 483omg!! i AM SO surprised and very saddened by this news. It is hard for me to believe. I was suppose to be her stitcher for a piece that suggested the theme for. It was to be a Masked Ball and she was planning it for around Halloween time. I sure feel aloss that we can not do that now. It would have been a great piece I know. You are all in my prayers. I am crushed by this news.
I can only hope in time you will find peace. Lisa was an influence on so many people and was a bright spot in many of my days just reading her blog and seeing all of the great pictures and goodies she posted. I will always treasure the many charts and other items Lisa created. She was indeed part of the "magic" around us she spoke of.
I'm so very sorry for your loss - she was a talented designer and her spirit will live on in each stitch we take when following her designs. I wish you and your family much comfort and healing thoughts - take care.
Oh Mariah! How unbelievable and terrible loss!!!! This is a tragedy. I'm so so sorry for you and your family. xxx Clara.

It is me again, I told my daughter about what happened to Lisa and how sad it all was including The Masked Ball design that will not be done. My daughter said I should try and design one myself.I have designed tatting but never a cross stitch design but I told my daughter if I did I would call it "The Lisa Roswell Wickedly Wicked Ball" in her honor.Who knows I might try to design the ball. I feel so saddened still this morning and can't believe it happened. Mariah and all your love ones I will continue to say prayers for all of you.Please know your Mom meant alot to us and that she was so special.
Very sorry for your loss. Your family is in my prayers.

Mariah, my condolences to you and your family. Although I never had the pleasure of meeting your mom I was always drawn to her blog.....it was so clear she valued her family so much, and I love her designs. And as anyone that has ever tackled a problem with their health will know.....nurses are 'special'.

She loved you all.
My deepest condolences to you and your family for the untimely passing of Lisa. She will be sorely missed.
I am so sorry to learn of your family's sudden and tragic loss. You are all in my prayers.
A couple of weeks ago, while shopping for a chart for my brother's wedding, I discovered a treasure trove of "witchy" charts, many of which were done by The Primitive Needle. In the past week and a half I've created a wish list at a stitching site and most of the charts I first picked out were done by TPN. I even found Lisa's blog while I was surfing for charts!
I was shopping for floss and fabric today when I learned of Lisa's death. My heart goes out to all of her family and friends.
may God hold you in his hands as you all work through this. I was shocked to see various shop owner's newsletters telling about Lisa. I will miss her blog postings and we certainly have lost a talented lady! Take care..
I am so sorry for your family's loss. Your mom was one of my very favorite designers and such a neat person. Just this fall I was blessed to have "won" Ephalba the Witch from her. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you. May God pour his grace and peace upon you and your family as you go through this very difficult time.
So very sorry to hear this sad news. Lisa will be missed by all of us in the cross stitch world. I can not imagine how your family feels. My deepest sympathy to all. Karen from Rosewood Manor
Mariah,
I was always intrigued by your mom's imagination and designs. My deepest sympathies to you and your family on this terrible loss. My heart goes out to you. Peace be with you and may fond memories comfort you.

Mariah, please accept my condolences. I will be lifting you and your family up in my prayers. I stitched your mom's 1800 Love Letter as a wedding sampler for my stepson and his wife, and I have several of her other designs waiting to be stitched. I hope the fact that she will live on in her work is a comfort to all of you. Take care.

Mariah,
I'm so sorry that I leave a comment now. I knew that your mom Lisa's accident, but couldn't leave a message here at that time as I was very shocked.
I think I can share sadness, emotions with you and your family a bit, although my English is not good enough at all.
Are you and your family OK now?
I think it takes time to get it over, but I'm sure the day you can talk about her with smile will come one day.
I pray for you and your family, always.
Only just found this, my deepest sympathies to all Lisa's loved ones - gentle hugs to you all xxxx
I just wanted to say that now that Halloween is almost here I miss you Lisa. YOu are in my thoughts along with your family.

Hi Mariah,
Have you ever considered re-publishing your mom's charts? What a talented lady and what a tragedy to lose her so early. Her charts still show up on ebay, but at an exorbitant price. I have been searching for a copy of Witches Hollow, but cannot afford the ebay prices. Just thought I'd throw the idea out there.
