To curly and the rest of the Lisher clan. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. What little I was around her, she was a delightful lady.
Our thoughts and prayers for the Lisher Family. Becky was a lovely lady.
Becky was the best neighbor! We spent many hours just sitting and talking with her on her bench on her front porch. She was a bonus grandma to our daughters who would run over and say hi every time she was out and they always seemed to come home with a snack after visiting! Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.
Prayers for the Lisher family, may your memories of Becky help you through this time of loss.
