My prayers go out to the Fisher family during this time of loss. Being one of the Cantrall kids, Bill was part of my growing up years. He was one of the good guys. He will be missed by so many.

There really are no words that can even come close to expressing how it feels when you lose someone you love. Cherish the good times and I will be praying God holds you in his arms and carries you through this sad time. God Bless, Tony and Robin Hutson
