My thoughts and prayers are with you,in the passing of your Dad, dear friends. I always enjoyed the time we spent with your family as you and our children were growing up. Your parents were the first to help us when we located there. What a blessing they were to us. Hazel Latsha
Dear Fisher Family,
I worked with Aaron at Ressler’s Mill for several years and appreciated Aaron’s faith and witness to all of us as he took care of his wife and his zest for life when he went to Florida, camping and taking care of his garden. We wish God’s comfort for all of you and may you have many memories by which to remember Aaron. Our prayers for you.
I had the pleasure of working with Aaron for two seasons at Ressler Mill and it was a joy to get to know him. When things were slow, we would sit on the front porch and talk. Two things were very clear to me: he deeply missed his wife, and he was very proud of his children and grandchildren. I want you all to know how sorry I am for your loss, and that we greatly miss him at the mill.
Dear Lena,Rose,and family, I’m so sorry for your loss and will have you in my thoughts and prayers. Truly yours,Ruthy
