Not sure what to say?

Dear Gail, My heart goes out to you. John was such a special man and you seemed to me to be one of the most perfectly matched couples I've known. I'm grateful that you had many happy years together. Know that you will be in my prayers in the days ahead. If you ever want to talk, just call me at 630.305.3963. Perhaps talking to someone who has been there too might help. It would be my privilege. My deepest wishes for God's shalom. Love, Ermalou Roller

Dear Gail:
Heaven must have been in need of another harp maker, and so the Lord called John.
Your cousin,

Uncle John was the source of many good laughs, his humor and never-ending thirst to learn and grow definitely affected the way I live my life. I am certain that he had a similar positive influence on many of his students, and that will make the world a better place. My uncle John is a wonderful person, and I will think of him with a chuckle everytime I use one of his 'home' recipes..an eagle flew over my house the next day, I feel it was him, on a last tour of the West before he moved on.

was sorry to hear of your husbands passing i will pray for you and your family sincerely your cousin tom renner.

Dearest Aunt Gail, Kami,& Kevin,
To know him was to love him. He was one of my favorite people. I can only imagine how much you will miss him.

John was the love of my life, my soul mate, help mate and my best buddy. I miss him terribly but cannot wish him back to endure the suffering he went through. He is in a far better place where there is unspeakable joy, no more pain and he is whole again. I rejoice in our risen Savior Jesus' promise of eternal life.
All my love to John, I'll see you again one day.
Gail

John was a great man and I loved his sense of humor. He had a strong belief and strong need to do what was right. I will miss our talks and his razzing me about being the "democrat from Minnesota." I will miss him much and I know I have been touched by his kindness, his humor and his love.

John Fisher was an excellent teacher and parent. He remembered his friendships. My heart goes out to his wife, Gail, and his son and his daughter. John and his family have been a part of our family for years as his son, Kevin, married my niece, Susie. His and his wife's presence at our family gatherings added even more warmth, and I regret not getting to visit more with them. I wish his family every blessing and extend my sympathy to them. Sincerely, Evelyn Richards

Dear Gail, Kami, Kevin and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of great loss. Add to John's list of virtues that he was a kind and caring friend and neighbor. I have lost a dear friend. My late husband Joe, and John are having a good reunion in heaven. God will be with you each step of the way during this difficult time. Lovingly with heart felt sympathy,
