To the family of Hope Fisher, Please except our deepest sympathies for the loss of your Mother Hope.
To my cousins Mike, Sharon, Pat & Marcy & their families.
So sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I have fun childhood memories of you all at the bar. Playing hide & seek & running around like wild indians outside when we were kids. Your mom sure looked a lot like Grandma! Even more so as she got older.
I am glad she is at peace and no longer in pain. Hugs to you all. Email me if you would like to connect. -Deb
Favorite memory was Christmas Eve when Santa came to the bar. I also remember playing outside running around in the dark playing with my cousins. I glad I have those memories. Love you Uncle Mike, Aunt Cindy, Jen, Jam and families.
So many memories, snowshoe baseball and Saturday afternoons, pool league and the greatest deer registration station in the state, all with Hope & Marv at the end of the Bar.
THE FISHER FAMILY, I AM SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT HOPE. SHE WAS A SPECIAL PERSON TO ME. ALWAYS A FRIENDLY SMILE, A KIND WORD. SHE IS A PERSON THAT NEVER WILL BE FORGOTTEN. I WILL MISS HER. YOUR FAMILY ARE IN OUR THOUGHTS.
