Fisher Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you. I remember Mr. Fisher bringing & picking up his great grandson, Seth, from St. Peter's Lutheran School. The book your family donated in Honor of Great Grandpa Fisher was always one of our kindergarten favorites!! (I'll Read to You & You Read to Me)
Blessings,
