My deepest sympathy to you, Mr. Bischel and your entire family. I had the pleasure of attending school with Barb and remember Mrs. Bischel as a very kind and caring woman. I also had the honor of caring for her as a patient at Meriter Hospital.
I believe she is smiling in heaven right now.
God bless you all.
