Our connection to Sheila runs through our dear friend Payton. The Fischer family is forever blessed that Payton moved to the Chicago area to play hockey for the past two seasons. It was the beginning of a strong connection between our families. We send our deep condolences and heartfelt hugs. We will be with you in spirit for Sheila's memorial. May she rest in peace.
