Lisa Fiatte...

It is with much saddness that we announce the passing of our friend Lisa Fiatte. Lisa, 31, and mother of two wonderful kids, Josh and Lillian will be laid to rest this week after her long battle with Cancer. At the age of 29 Lisa was diagnosed with stage VI breast cancer. She underwent 16 rounds of chemo, a double mastectomy and 33 rounds of radiation. At the age of 31, Lisa is found herself battling cancer again. The cancer was now in her bones and in her brain. We were honored this past June to have Lisa speak at the Shawnee/Lenexa Relay for Life. She touched many of the Hotties, and though we hate that this disease won, we are glad that she is no longer in pain. Lisa...we will continue to FIGHT BACK against this disease...you are the reason we do what we do. It was such an honor knowing you...RIP.

And so we ask you to "Think Pink"

Lisa wanted to be cremated and have a memorial service at her church. Visitation will be from 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM Friday, November 13 at Pine Ridge Presbyterian Church, 7600 NW Barry Road, KC MO 64153. At 7:00 there will be a memorial service. She wanted everyone to wear pink. In lieu of flowers, she wanted contributions to be made to the Lisa Hinkle Trust for Lilli and Josh at Country Club Bank or the Young Survival Coalition,10520 Barkley St, Overland Park, Kansas 66212-1811. Lisa donated her corneas in the hope that someone else could enjoy life more.

Her friends posted the following...

"We want to thank everyone that has supported Lisa and her family in such a loving, generous, and compassionate way. So many wonderful people--it is awesome. We would like to thank the staff on 5th floor oncology at North Kansas City Hospital and Northcare Hospice for the outstanding care they provided. She was active in Mommy and Me , PTA, church, YSC, A Time to Heal, and reveled in her kid's organizations, school, and activities . Her kids were the light of her life and her sole reason for living. She loved them dearly. Lisa did not let adversity get in the way of living life to its fullest. She loved and was loved."
