Thank you all so very, very much for all your love and support during the most difficult time in my life,” Lisa Brando wrote. “I don't know how I will get thru this but I can truly feel the outpouring of my friends love for me and the love of my mothers [sic] fans. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Lisa XOXO"
