BROTHER
WE ALL LOVE YOU DEARLY, BUT JESUS LOVES YOU THE VERY BEST. I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT. YOU HAVE FINISHED YOUR COURSE. YOUR PRECIOUS MEMORIES WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
YOUR LOVING SISTER,
GLENDA FISHER-MILLER
.
My condolences to the Fisher family. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Wilbert will be dearly missed.
In one sense, it’s sad to hear my uncle has passed on. In another sense, it’s a time of rejoicing seeing he was in Christ! I only wish I had grown to know him throughout the years 🙁
Fam & friends, may we all run the race of life in the lane of Jesus Christ- having a hopeful & joyful view of the finish line of eternity (Hebrews 11). May we trust in what God has already provided & not seek our trust in anything else (Romans 3:21-26).
Much love & sympathy to all,
Broxton L. Fisher [Brock]
