"It certainly is tough," Fisher stated. "The young boy, Trip, is really a week aside from my boy [Isaiah], therefore if that does not hit home. … I was pleased to you need to be there. We did not realize it would be in news reports or anything, but all are going to to assist that family … We are praying for him and recovery, too."
