Tribute
Deb Skinner Kisly
It has been an interesting few days. I have the distinction of being the only daughter in law of Walt Fischer. I knew Walt (Dad) before I knew any of the other Fischers. He called me as the Pastor of the New Haven Methodist Church and he being Historian of the New Haven Congregational Church to coordinate calendars. I knew Mom and Dad before I knew Marty. I teased them that they never once mentioned they had a single son! As soon as Marty and I became engaged they were Mom and Dad - NEVERE Eva and Walt. Dad embodied Christ in all actions. If I had to pick a true Christian, Dad and Mom will always come to mind. Dad had a tremendous faith in God. When Marty was dying he was there every day, giving him support and when it came time, Dad told Marty to go find Mom and Madysen. I am sorry some family members think I am scum. But God knows, Dad knows, Mom knows and Marty knows just how much I loved them all. When I met Bernie. Marty and I agreed that I was too young to be alone for the rest of my life and I should meet someone. I went to Dad to ask his blessing. Unfortunately he had been given misinformation and he was guarded. I found out this weekend that Dad really wanted to get to know Bernie because he wanted to meet the man that was going to take care of his fourth daughter and his grandchildren. Walt Fischer was a great man. A role model if every there was. I love him and always will.

Re: Tribute
Deb, What a beautiful tribute to a man you loved so dearly. That had to be hard for you to write but you put it down because it means so much to you that the world understands. May God be with as your heart is broken and so many around you just don't realize how much you loved your FIL. May you find some comfort and peace in knowing that he loved you too.
May God bless you today and always. God understands even when man does not. I would rather be on God's side any day. God will fight your battles for you, HE will protect and guide you, and HE will always be at your side when others are not.
May you find some comfort and peace in writing this tribute for others to see how you felt about this man. May you be surrounded with angels to provide for your needs and bring you some hope for the future with your own family and Bernie. Prayers for you all today and always. Sending love and many hugs across the miles. Shirley Mae

I am happy you have the love of your life. How many times in our life do we find true love. Once. well you now have two. You are a very lucky women. Your now Sister in law is right. Head high and your late husband knows the true and that counts no one else. We the forum sisters are behind you a hundred percent.
