my thoughts and prayers are out to the Fischer family
Oh, Donna what can we say. Leland was our knight in shining armor and we are really going to miss him. I sure he and dad have started their game of dominos and are probably arguing about what the best thing they ever had to eat! Please take care of yourself.
Our deepest sympathy
