Dear Mom, it's 8 years now and hardly a day goes by that I don't think of you. I remember when the you were 76 and always said "that's the spirit!" You always aged so gracefully. I didn't appreciate at the time, but I sure do now. Your had such a zest for life, endless energy, always ready to go, go, go. I miss you so much and you are still here in my heart and in my memories.

Dear Mom, it has been 7 years since you have been gone and I miss you terribly! We always had so much fun visiting you in Florida. Either going to listen to music, shopping, eating, etc. I can’t barely visit any more as it upsets me too much. You are in my heart and mind always. I love you! ❤❤❤

My Barucha, my blessing, my mother. I feel your presence all around me. Your candle is still burning brightly. I want to hold on to you a little bit longer yet I know I must let you go. I am eternally grateful for so many special moments we shared these last years. I want more of you yet I know it was your time to move on and you have done it with such grace. I learned so much from you. You were fun, forgiving, loving; “spunky,” “energetic” and “open” (to use some quotes from these tributes), I could call you any time and you were there to listen to all my trials and tribulations without judgment. I love you, and your memory will always be a blessing in my heart.

Enjoyed spending time w Mom at the office over the years. She spoke of everyone each time in her own way. Your
remembrances at the service were a fitting tribute. We all have our memories of MOM.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Fisher family. Although we didn't know Blanche personally we felt as if we knew her through the wonderful stories shared by her son Bruce and daughter-in-law Yaling. Blanche was full of life and had so much spunk. Loss is never easy. Blanche did something wonderful and brought her family and friends together. May you rest in peace sweet Blanche. Our thoughts and prayers to the entire Fisher family, especially our close friends Bruce and Yaling Fisher. Sending lots of love and Aloha.

About four years ago I was blessed to meet Blanche at a casino . She was sitting at the bar drinking wlne and grooving to the music. I sat in the seat next to her and struck up a conversation. By the end of the night we exchanged phone numbers and our friendship began. Blanche became close with my family and was often called Aunt Blanche. I will miss our daily chats and our lunches at Sweet Tomatoes. Rest in peace. With all my love, Linda

Blanche was a member of the JCS bereavement group held on Tuesdays at the JCC. As the facilitator of that group I had the wonderful opportunity of knowing Blanche. She was loving and full of life. Often she called to tell me how much she enjoyed attending the group. Her contributions were authentic and she gave voice to feelings that others felt but did not share . Consequently we very much enjoyed her stories and comments. The group held a luncheon celebrating her birthday last Sat Feb. 1, 2014. She was thrilled to have participated. She shared how grateful she was to be part of the group. She will be dearly missed.
