“How blessed were we all to have Lisa share her immense talent with us for decades,” says her co-star Martha Brynne, who played Brown’s daughter on Guiding Light. “She was my friend since I was 15 years old from the day Doug Marland introduced me to my ‘mother.’ Lisa was my mentor, mother, sister, and so much more for my entire life. As a scene partner, she was always present and full of creativity. As a writer and director, her instincts were second to none. For the fans, she loved and respected you all more than you will ever know. We are devastated at the loss of an incredible woman.”
