    Jeff, Steve, Brad, and Doug, we were so very sorry to hear of Sandys passing. You have our deepest sympathy! I don’t know if you boys remember us or not, but in your younger years we were with your family a Great deal. I’m sure the older boys will remember the Fischers. We all had some great times together. Please again accept our deepest sympathy. Mike and Betty (Jo) Fischer, also Scott, Mikki and Brenda.
