Dear my father-in-law
Dad,
Your life and your teaching are like a great textbook in life for us. You always said we should make a plan in advance before we start a new year. I am so sad that I can no longer see your warm smile and listen to your boring questions. But I will do my best to find right answers to those questions. I believe that you will be very happy in heaven. As I told you, you were the good gift that God gave me (The best gift is Brain!). Thank you for the love you gave me! I love you and miss you so much~~~~
I was fortunate to grow up
I was fortunate to grow up next door to Mr. Fisher and to be the beneficiary of many of his words of wisdom. When I was younger, our get togethers always included lots of laughs and as I got older that segued into career counseling which was always much appreciated. Mr, Fisher was so smart and I never failed to learn something whenever I was with him. He was also a wonderful friend to my father and they shared countless good times together, particularly at the Algerines.
Mrs. Fisher, Stephen, Brian and Brianna, I’m so sorry for your loss and that I cannot be there in person for the funeral. Please know that my heart is with you.
Love, Kim
