8 years ago...

[Julio]

8 years ago I used to get excited to see members sign up everyday on Importatlanta.com. The 1st year of importatlanta.com , I wont lie, it was probably the closest IA.com has ever been due to us not having members..

Not many from 2001 are still around, but some are still on...

In 2001 a married couple joined Importatlanta.com and had a car club called Civic Minded...

At the time, Some of us thought, this couple are weird.. why did we say that? Well, At that time we didnt have many members past the age of 25, we were all basiclly, Young kids who just hit our 20's...

Anyways, During that year, I had the honor of meeting Brett and Leisa.. these guys were really cool I thought.. They loved cars So we all down.. is like they came out of no where...

Month and month.. They became like the King and queen post of whores of IA.. they always had more post then anyone on IA.. they made the the whoreslounge popular back in the early ages.. Both making funny post at all times of the days..

Brett and Leisa, every meet, event.. anything that involved IA..or cars..they were there... The couple... I can count in hand I saw Brett alone...

We became really good friends.... IA.com has been my life since 2000... They have been there since 2001... They were part of IA success... They are IA..




Today, Leisa Lowenthal passed away... A great friend... I know I havent said much about the situation... But everyday I thought about it.. and talked with personal friends about it.. I even told my parents about it and friends who have nothing to do with Importatlanta

Leisa was a great person who from what i could see was Always happy... if there was a sad in her in life.. I never saw it... her "witty" Comments in person would always make me laugh.

I Thanks Brett and Leisa for being part of my life over the 7 years...

I had the honor to hang out with these guys at plenty of shows, partys...

But I also been out with them when It was just them..

She was a great person.... who will def be missed... but def not forgotten..

Brett, I have been reading brother.. you know I got your back no matter what.. I admire your strengh and character.. Please keep your head up man..

Leisa is now in a better place... I'm sure she will be watching....

I will be honest, I know is hard to stay positive at times like this...but dont forget you have the support of 1000's.

You guys made the age 30 look "HIP" ..

A few years ago I used to say, **** I want to be like brett and leisa.. **** in there 30's and they are a fun couple.. Bonnie and clyde...

Well, today is my b-day.( only close friends knew that). I turned 30.. I still want to be like you and Leisa...Keep ya head up bro..

very nicely put :yes:

[Nismo]

Wow. Thats deep.

[uproot]

wow man talk about chill bumps...

[dohc4.6sc]

i know my join date only shows i have been here a few months but i have really been here since 04, i have made quite a few prayer requests and leasa was always there for me. i really cant believe this happened. when my grandfather was in icu for 2 months leasa prayed the whole time, and when my grandfather finally got out and was stable i let him read what everyone wrote, and cried his eyes out. when i told him she needed the prayers now he then cried once more and has prayed for her everyday. this is a great community and i am proud to be a part of it. r.i.p leasa.

[B16a2 Civic]

That was a great statement Julio. Honestly, I think that's how we all feel about those 2 that knew them, you said it best!

[The Ren]

wow.. that brought tears julio...

[Kevykev]

Good post Julio. Check PMs.

I registered back in '01 but barely posted, Ricardo was around then.

[blacknightteg]

damn...every time i see these. i just get chills and tear up. we all love them, i don't think anyone doesn't.

[AnthonyF]

I have been here since '02 and I used to see them around, I was too young to know them at the time. But I have spoken to Leisa for the about a year now and she is nothing but joy. Never got jealous, always joked with Brett, Brett returned it and it was just great. Being in the middle of their convos was always entertaining. :( ~seriously tryin to not cry~ i know she will always be here watching us, espically you Brett. No more loli's hehe...:(

-Ant.

[silversol]

very deep julio.......

[Scotsman]

someone please sticky this

[umairejaz]

*speechless

[The Ren]

Done!

[AnthonyF]

Good idea Scot. I stuck it!

[Elbow]

Nicely said.

[cactusEG]

I've never met her, but she seemed like a really great person on here... RIP

[collins]

julio those were some great words, man. perfectly said!

[Scotsman]

[stephanie]

[Double_0_Rusty]

Very nicely put, Julio.

[5thgcelica]

perfect.

i havent talked to her in a while...but there was a span of several years where i talked to her everyday. i will miss that.

RIP my dear leisa!

[81911SC]

Brett, Julio is right. You have 1000's behind you. I've never met either of you but you two's relationship has brought inspiration to many, including myself. "Behind every great man there's a great woman." That is a good quote. I didn't know her but I and everyone else can see how much she meant to you. I'm sorry for your loss and will continue to pray. R.I.P

[sakasaku]

even know i didn't know her in real life i talked to her on the forums and ill never forget her happy monday threads,her wise remarks that never failed to make me laugh, she was truly the Queen of IA,. RIP leisa

[DecoyOctopus]

man i just got goose bumps

[SloWRX]

wow that definitely gave me the chills.

i dont know Brett or Leisa personally but everytime i read their posts, it made me laugh. I always did admire them without even knowing them. Brett i know that you dont know me but you definitely have my prayer, like julio said, you have 1000's backing you up.

[jadakid88]

very nicely put but... :( :cry: ...i cant believe i am reading this. i send my deepest condonlences to hers and your family brett. please stay strong in this time of pain and regret...

[2SICC4IA]

OMG, Im gonna cry, I cant believe it..

Brother Brett, I dont know what to even say man! I know Ive been long removed from the group, but bro, My serious Condolences man, Im so sorry! I have alot of very happy memories of Leisa, honestly... she was like my internet guardian for awhile.......... and the best mother-in-law a man could ever ask for. ( Hey, she would have laughed.. ok maybe not,)

caravans, car shows, meets, hot wings, porn, laughter, party and friendship all come to mind looking back!

Alex

[EJ25RUN]

Reading that made it finally hit. :(

[Chuckster]

Brett & Leisa are who got me on IA when I joined UC. I just heard about the news tonight when I got home from work. After reading this post it hit me harder then it did when I got home. Just thinking of all the great memories with you two.

Brett I wish I could of been there more for you these past couple weeks. I was hoping/praying for the best for you.

[4dmin]

She will surely be missed. Brett/Leisa are IA and IA will miss her presence.

great post and happy bday bro

[EmminoDaGreat]

Damn, deep man. Its a truely sad loss to IA... RIP Leisa, even though I never had the privilage of meeting you... And good luck to you brett, stay strong even though I imagine it will be tough...

Julio, that was amazing.... Thank you. Leisa has meant more to me than anyone will ever realize, she was my soul mate, she was my best friend, she was my everything. My life was changed 10 years ago when she walked into my life and nothing in my life will ever be the same again, She will never be replaced and I will miss her more than life itself. God I miss her, I do not know how I will make it through a day without her.

[blacknightteg]

thats why we are all here brett, we as a community are here to help you and be there for you in those times you need a shoulder to cry and lean on. this site although there is tons of bs and bashing, when times arise that there needs to be serious talk, its done. we know how she was, we know what she meant to you and to everyone on this board. we will all miss her and be there for you in any way shape or form that we possibly can.

[The Yousef]

QFT...Keep living for Leisa and don't let anyone forget about her Brett.

[DJ Maestro]

Beautiful words Julio. I am part of the 30's group, but only joined IA back in May. I had interactions with Brett and Leisa online, but I never got to meet them personally until I met Brett at the hospital. I would have loved to have gotten to know them better as they were closer to my age. I hope over time to get to know Brett better now. Just from what I saw online Leisa will certainly be missed, but know that now, IA has it's very own angel looking down over all of us. :goodjob:

[babygurl]

Julio, Always a quite man, but a man of many words full of wisdom.

Leisa is the strongest female I know, a wonderful friend, a great mother, and an outstanding wife. Leisa is the Queen of IA, so to speak....

Long live the Queen...:)

Miss you Leisa!!!

[A.P. Photography]

Well said Julio. They were the couple you could count on at every show and always in a great mood. Joking and lauging and some of the best combacks and comments you could imagine.

Brett, we are here if you need us.

I keep waiting for someone to post that this has all be one really messed up joke. Unfortunately this isn't the case.

[Brett]

Thanks alot guys, I wish I could say some day I will be the same person I was before this, But fact is I will never be who I was before this happened to my baby

[boostedb16]

i dont know brett or LEISA but ya'll both sound like really good people. i hate to hear this about anyone. i am part of the 30 and up crowd and married. my heart goes out to you man, like everyone has said "stay strong and keep your chin up".

[ahmonrah]

[ahmonrah]

Thanks alot guys, I wish I could say some day I will be the same person I was before this, But fact is I will never be who I was before this happened to my baby we know brett, and it's fine.......just do right for you and leisa's babies, take time for you'all and know we are still here for you.

[OG-Skinny]

OG's coming out the woodwork. Fantastic post Julio. I've only met Brett and Leisa a couple of times; Both times the two of them were always energetic and positive with anything and everything around at the time. Leisa will def. be missed.

Happy B-day to you Julio, and damn, I've known you 11 freaking years... Jesus

I was here when I was in a car club called Focused Intentions...That was 04 I think then life got in the way and I didnt log on for a long time and forget my name and pass so I made this name.

[The_ CaneCorso]

LOL do you guys remember that pic of brett with a photoshoped girl...It said it was his wife, I think he was bout to kiss her but it was a photoshop.

[GaRacer]

Well said Julio
From someone that was right there with them in 01 with Civic Minded
Leisa was a great person alway looking at the good in people. I have not been around much in the past years, but Brett and leisa were always in my mind.
Leisa will be missed

[Axix23]

very moving thread.

[Brett]

I like many others, Miss her SO much

[babygurl]

[EX-Svic]

well said Julio. who can forget leisa , no one! even if you met her and brett for real or just on here and yes back in 02 they were all over the place on I.A. . i met them once or twice. the moment i remember and came to mind is one time at an xlr8shen show when the raffles were being given away they called out a ticket i had my ticket out looking at it i was not really paying attention though but brett and leisa were behind me and one of them im sure it was her touched my shoulder and said you won!!! and i was like whoa really , and they were going to move on to the next number but they both raised their hands to get the attention so i could claim my prize . and yeah beautiful people they are . may she rest in piece in a better place, brett keep you head up man she still loves from a better place...

[Brett]

^^ Yeah Leisa always looked out for people, Thats just who she was, and she LOVED the car shows and being a part of the car scene. For weeks now I have been reading or have been told how much of an impact Leisa made on this board, and in the local scene and to me that is just amazing to know, and I am sure she appreciates you all, Because I cant begin to tell you how much I do.

[EX-Svic]

yeah i also remember on the way to car shows. you each would take your car you in the civic and her in the focus... i thought to myself as i saw you guys cruising along aww thats awesome. i want to find someone whom i can roll with together and i have now. and yeah you and leisa are famous on I.A. and made the whoreslounge what it is , though its kind of crappy now compared to its top days but.. no doubt she will never be forgotten!!...

[Brett]

Yeah she loved her Focus, That was her baby and I loved the times we would show together side by side, Was awesome times. She was an amazing woman

[Sledlude]

wow. i just found this out. im so sorry brett. god bless. :*)

[Brett]

^^ Thanks man, she was a great woman
