Dear Fischer Family, I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Fischer’s passing. He was such a sweet man. You all have my condolences and you will all be in my prayers as you go through this difficult time. Just know that he loved you all so very much and will continue to watch over you until you all meet again. Blessing to All, Tammy Hill
Joyce Callen e-mailed the sad news of Howard’s death. After such a long life together I’m sure you will miss him terribly. I noticed they mentioned his passion for gardening and I immediately thought fo the ‘Edelweis’ he was so proud of growing. Unfortunately, we had recently returned from Austria so I recognized the plants to his surprise. A very brief but pleasant visit. GOD BLESS! Carroll & Richard
Sorry to hear of your husband’s passing. You may not remember me but I worked in P & R for 27 years and my husband and several other family members were Kodakers. Wishing you comfort and many fond memories.
Uncle Howard was always such a wonderful gentleman and will be missed greatly. Our sincere condolences to Lydia and everyone.
