I will miss you Mary, you touched many lives. Thoughts and prayers to the family. May God give you comfort and peace… Hugs❣🙏🏽😇
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’d like to share some real hope with you. In Psalms 146:4 tells the condition of the dead. “His breath goes out, he returns to the earth and that very day his thoughts perish.” In Acts 24:15 the bible promises a resurrection of our loved ones back to earth. When Jesus resurrected Lazarus from the dead, he brought him back to earth. He’s going to do that on a much larger scale in the future. In Psalms 37:11+29 says man will live forever on the earth in an abundance of peace. That was God’s original purpose, for Adam and Eve to live forever in the garden of eden. God’s purpose hasn’t changed. In Isaiah 45:18 says God created the earth to be inhabited. That’s why he gave his son to die for us, John 3:16, so we could have everlasting life. In Revelation 21:4 says there’ll be no more pain or death. There is no pain or death in heaven. Those are future promises for the earth. JW.org
So Sorry for your loss. Sending the Fisher family thoughts and prayers.

Mary was a Saint to all of us. In a 10 minute conversation we would talk about her children, grandchildren, great grand children the weather etc. Then, she would give me Holly Heck for which I and Mary knew I needed and it always ended up then with a huge hug and a kiss on the cheek. Mary always understood all of us kids and was full of love for all. We will all miss this Grand Lady …. A True Sweet Heart!!!! Dance Up A Storm With Jim In Heaven!Love and Rest In Peace Mary.
Chuck, Linda, Makaela and Maren,
Although we never had the opportunity to meet Mary, we know she raised a wonderful daughter who has passed this love along to her children. Please accept our sincere sympathies..
So saddened by your loss.
