Lisa Kaye Krasser
God sent Heavens Special Child down to Earth on September 11, 1961 into the loving arms of her “Mom” Naomi Tate and her father Bud Krasser.
Lisa was a sweet little auburn haired person who was loved by all who knew her, and I wish to thank all the people who had a hand in caring for her over the years.
She was predeceased by both her maternal and paternal grandparents, her only sibling Chris Krasser, stepfather Jesse C. Tate, Aunts and Uncles Bela (Harold) Melvin, Hazel (Charlie) Krasser and Lowell Collins.
Lisa is survived by her mother Naomi Tate; her father and stepmother Bud and Babs Krasser; Aunts and Uncles Joan (Denzil) Robbins, Carmileta Paschall, Sharon (Lee) Gott, Barbara Ellen; stepbrother David (Darla) Tate all of Springfield and stepsisters Suzie Crossno of Neosho and Tina (Tim) Braden of Rogers, Arkansas and many cousins.
A special “Thanks” to the staffs of Mashburn Learning Center and the CMH Healthcare Facility of Bolivar.
Visitation will be held today from 4-6 pm at Greenlawn Funeral Home South. A graveside service will be held on Monday, April 11, 2011 at 1:00 pm at Pembina Cemetery.
Memorial donations can be made to the SW Humane Society or left at the funeral home.
Arrangements are under the direction of Greenlawn Funeral Home South.
HEAVEN’S VERY SPECIAL CHILD
A meeting was held quite far from Earth: “It’s time again for another birth.”
Said the Angels to the Lord Above, “This special child will need much love.”
Her progress may seem very slow,
Accomplishments she may not show
And she’ll require extra care
From folks she meets way down there.
She may not run or laugh or play
Her thoughts may seem quite far away: In many ways she isn’t adapt And she’ll be known as handicapped.
So let’s be careful where she’s sent We want her life to be content. Please, Lord, find the parents who Will do a special job for you.
They will not realize right away
The leading role they’re asked to play But with this child sent from above Comes a stronger faith and richer love.
And soon they’ll know the privilege given In caring for the Gift from Heaven. Their precious charge, so meek and mild
Is Heaven’s Very Special Child.
