Pop, Robbie & Steve,
Sure sorry to hear of Mom Fisher's passing. She had a long wonderful life and touched the lives of many a young man as Mom Fisher. She will be missed and fondly remembered by many. Being raised in "The Home" from the time my brothers and I arrived in 1961 till I graduated in 1967 you were my mother and father. Pop and Mom Fisher tried their best to mold us into responsible young men. If it wasn't for Washie I never would have gotten in trouble! Pop, I never could "pull anything off"! You were always a step ahead of us. When you caught us, it was Mom who consoled us and explained in her own tender way that you were strict for a reason. I know Robbie and Steve had it a little rougher since they had to share their Mom with the rest of us boys.Thanks,guys. I will always treasure my time with Pop and Mom Fisher. But I would still rather walk to school in the rain then ride that dang "beetle"!
God Bless ya'll,
Mike Kline

Dear Rob and family, I grew up in Topton next door to Millie and her family. I remember your wedding day and then several years later she very kindly allowed me to borrow her wedding gown for some event at Trinity. She was always a kind and godly woman. God must have a special place ready for her. May He help you through these days of sorrow. Marcia DeLong Strause

To Pop Fisher and the Fisher Family…
How can we ever thank you enough? This goes out to Mom & Pop (in memory of Mom Fisher). You made all of us "home boys" part of your family. So, so much love, and yes discipline when we needed it (we weren't always angels). But your LOVE was always foremost. You were always there when we needed your help, your caring, and your wisdom. I (We) could not have asked for more. My heartfelt prayers would be answered if all children and teenagers alike had the devotion of a Mom & Pop Fisher…think of what a difference that would make in our world today. Lastly, I want to thank Robbie and Steve for sharing their wonderful parents with so many of us. Thank you, Mom, Pop, Robbie and Steve.

Dear Pop and Family, no words can convey the sorrow we feel in the loss of Mom, she was truly a Mom to so many. I have always considered her and Pop my grandparents, they raised my father and took care of so many others as well. My life was richer because she was part of it. She is loved always and will be missed greatly.

To the extended Fisher family,
You shared Millie, Mom/Oma, with many, many others. She lived for service to children, for Christ and for her family. Many at risk children were saved and changed because of her love and care. We give thanks daily for the blessing of being loved by Mom Fisher.

You were the best mom. I am what I am today because of you and Pop. I still remember the day we met and the first meal we had together on April 15, 1971. Although, it was a very hard time for me and it ended being the turning point in my life. I now teach my kids to help others like you taught me. I am very saddned by your loss but I am glad that I was a part of your life. I will come to see on you Saturday. Not to say goodbye but to say thanks. "Big Ed "
