People keep telling me that I'll be okay.. Everyone passes away..I know that but when u loose someone that u loved dearly..then u'll understand.... I was mitchels ex-girlfriend... and i still love him with all my heart... And I'm glad that his family still want me around... I love you mitchel scott fisher... Ill be with u soon I love you sherri, Willy, and James!
Coming from someone who knows the whole story - is close to both families, and has been around & called their own to both children involved in this terrible accident; "Why is money getting donated," "Where was the parents," are not questions that need answered. The life of 2 young children were taken from two families that would give you the shirt off their back - if in need. Don't sit behind the computer screen, pointing fingers. Disrespectful. Unlike some, apparently, there is more to think about then who did what, where, why, and when. It's the life of that one you lost, who now has to be lived on throughout you, your family, and your friends. Details aside, both families took care of their children well. Both raised as good kids. These things happen. That's why they're called "Accidents." This has nothing to do with how well the boys we're raised, how good of parents they had, if they we're drinking, on drugs, out joy riding. REGARDLESS! Two lives we're taken from all of "Us."
if everyone would please not make any remarks that does not comfort mitch's family. the last thing they need, is remarks saying it's the parent's fault. PLEASE give respect to Mitch. If he were here, he would be very sad to see they way OTHER people are acting. i was a friend of mitch. he was one of the sweetest, most awesome guy i know. please pay your respects to everyone. Sherri and family, you will alwys be in my prayers. no matter what people ACCUSE you of, always seek god's grace. if you do, everything will be OK. even though mitch is not with us, he will ALWAYS be in our hearts. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. :(
Sherry and Willy, I can't even begin to know what you and your family are experiencing. Although your "Why's" may never be answered, only God knows why, and I know that doesn't make it any easier. Just remember his smile, his laugh, and his silly little ways. Always know that he is forever in your heart every second of the day. May God be with you all in your time of loss.
FOR THOSE,THAT JUST HAVE TO KNOW, THE FATHER DID NOT KNOW HIS SON TOOK THE VEHICLE. I GET UP AT 4AM. LOTS OF TIMES. MY MOTHER TAUGHT ME, NO MATTER WHAT THE STORY. IF PEOPLE NEED OR WANT HEIP, JUST JUMP IN AND HELP. SO SISSY, THINK ABOUT THIS, I KNOW YOU MEANT WELL, BUT PRAY AND LOVE THESE FAMILIES. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
I don't know any of these families involved and I cannot imagine their pain. Financials are not of importance at this moment, but I'm sure that each month they receive the statement, it will just be another stab in the heart. Insurance probably will not cover the costs because neither one of these kids were old enough to possess a driver's license and if the report of the vehicle being stolen holds true, the insurance company will not pay. Nobody should be judging these two boys as they were kids who made a stupid mistake costing them their lives and hurting a lot of people in the process. I'm just glad that they didn't kill any other innocent victims on the highway that early morning. Also, if the toxicology report comes back and shows that the 15-year-old was intoxicated or doing drugs, the 13-year-olds family may have a lawsuit against the 15-year-old's family. Just food for thought.
This is to anne, You are saying things that you should'nt. If you would of know my son and alex you would'nt say these things they were great kids who make a mistake all teenagers do. Have some respect for our familys. Mitch i will miss you so much, and alex i will miss you. Love you both with all my heart.
Thanks to all at the camp grounds no wonder theres such warmth behind the thanks this brings your way your special kindness brought such joy,it really made the day-and when any group of people does th thoughtful thins you do,its hard to find words warm enough to thank each one of you! thanks to all of you very speial people grandma Zelma Ill miss you alex God bless Willie and sherrie
My heart goes out to both families.Our family has beared 3 nephews and we know what both families are going threw my son Aaron knowed Mitch and he said he cared about everyone around him.Our prayers goes out to both families.
I know the two boys very well and their familys. The 2 boys is very nice and fun to be around with. Every day when Mitch saw my son he will always play ball with him or chase him around the house. He always made my son smile everyday. I will never forget the smile he always put on my son's face. He was like a big brother to him. Those boys are very good kids and they cared about everyone else. We will miss them very much. We will nerver forget all the good times. My God be with both of the familys.
R.I.P BOYS
ive followed this story from day one. i feel sorry 4 family & friends 4 having to go through something like this but most of all i feel sorry for the children. (they never had the chance 2 live life) theres been many comments made & some not so nice but by people wanting to be honest on this situation. everyone has made comments on how sweet these boys r yet others r saying how there were drinking & doin drugs, parties at parents home regualry, children aloud to take cars whenever they felt like it. (not even old enough 2 drive) asking for help from the comm may be wrong theres plenty of places to go without asking people u dont know. now i hear parents r planning 2 sue belpre 4 realeasing names b4 reports came back. (as if word of mouth wouldnt go from 1 person 2 another) all im saying is theres more 2 this story thans being put out....parents remember this when trying to be a friend to ur child instead of being the parent they need. really sorry 4 ur loss and if im being rude sorry.
To the Joy and Fisher Families, my deepest sympathies. Just a thought for all, I don't think people post here to be mean or rude, I feel we are all just looking to make sense of this tragic loss. We need to remember "why" is not ever going to be answered and facts may only make us feel even more helpless. Lashing out through judgements and harsh words may be the only way someone can express dispair, sadness, or sympathy. At Alex's Memoria Service, Pastor Kent said "if everyone who attended services today, did just one thing kind for another there is no better way to pay tribute to his life". I feel the same could be said for Mitchell. I myself am up to this and plan to look at my boys in a new light, hold them closer when I hug them, listen closer when they want to talk and never let a moment go by that they don't know they are loved. I feel it is our responsibility to honor these boys and their families by letting their light shine through us. God Bless To All
today i went to pick up, my granddaughter from her first day of school ,this was her first year at the high school, 7th grade.i asked, how was your day? she had tears in her eyes and said to me,grandma it was the worst day of my life,because everyone ask me, about Alex. you see alex is my grandson and for the past four days,that is all that i thought about, not thinking what the lost of ALEX has done to my other four grandchildren, they are all as wonderful and precius as ALEX. THEY WERE ALL CLOSE TO HIM.Iknow Alex would not want me to mourn him and be sad.like always Alex would say, it's going to be OK grandma,don't worry. so,everyone love your grandkids and enjoy them,put yourself in their busniess,the'll say they don't like it,but take it from me, they love every minute of it.my grandkids love to here old and poor stories,as they call them. love your famliy and friends. MATT, GREG, LITTLE BROTHER, ABBEY. GRANDMA LOVES ALL OF YOU. AND GOD THANK YOU FOR GIVING US ALEX .
Have anyone of you that are making such rude and ignorant comments even bothered to read the news headline that you are commenting on? "A fund to cover medical and funeral expenses has been set up for 13-year-old Mitchell Fisher, the second of two teens fatally injured in last Friday's accident at the intersection of Farson Street and Rockland Avenue in Belpre." I personally know Anne and her comments were only meant to ease minds as she knows how very expensive life-saving interventions can be, Her step-son lingered for several weeks , so she all too well knows what the arrival of 6 figure medical bills do when a family is still grieving. She was just expressing that there were many routes that the family can use if the donated funds fall short. May God bless these families with the strenth to endure this tragedy.
