It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Lisa Rene Rios on July 16, 2025.

Lisa was resilient in her battle to overcome the unrelenting list of physical hardships she faced over the past couple of years.

Lisa had to fight for each new day. She fought for the opportunity to laugh with her son, Nicholas, and to sit beside her father, Frank, as they watched TV together. For her, they were small victories, but it was those tiny moments that filled her heart and made her days meaningful. If it were up to Lisa...she would still be down here fighting, but our Father decided that it was time for her to rest and He called her back home.

Lisa, I can only imagine you running into the arms of all those who couldn't wait to hug you again. Yes, you ran. No more wheelchair. No more pain. No more suffering. You can finally walk again...you can run again...and YOU CAN DANCE AGAIN!!!

Lisa's passing has left a void in all of our hearts, but nobody will miss her more than the son she leaves behind, Nicolas Torres, and her father, Frank Rios.

While there is absolutely no obligation to give, we wanted to offer a space for those who feel compelled to support her son, Nick, in his efforts to honor his mothers memory with the Celebration of Life that he is confident she will be happy with.

All funds will go directly toward the memorial service arrangements. Any amount is deeply appreciated. If you are unable to contribute financially, we invite you to share this fundraiser with others, but most importantly - we ask that you keep Nicholas and Frank in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Lisa...you are already missed. We love you...and we do mean it. I'll see you again on Heaven's Dance Floor.
