Father Declan Blake explained that the much-loved mother wanted to be a legal secretary and was a big believer in fairness and justice.
In a poignant speech, he said that the entire community are in shock and are searching for answers. He assured Lisa’s children Kyle and Brook were reminded that their mother loved them and was very proud of them.
He said: “Life is precious. Human life is sacred. The taking of any human life is very very wrong.

“We as a society need to stop and ask ourselves why are we hearing of so many violent deaths.
“What’s going wrong?
“We trust and believe now that Lisa is now in the hands of God. She’s at total peace and will always be with us.”
The Ballymun native was laid to rest privately.
