"My dear brother-in-law, How do I express the virtues you had and how much you were loved. The love and bond you had with your grandchildren was beyond measure. You stayed in touch with all who knew you and that was awesome. My children remember the way you teased everyone, including them. My greatest memory is when we talked about the Lord and I knew I would see you in heaven. You fought a long, hard fight, but now you can be at peace and rest in the arms of Jesus. See you, brother. I love you. Jan Fisher"
