So sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom. I am sure it meant so much to her to have her family with her during those last difficult months. We will remember you all in our prayers.
Gary,
We are so sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. No matter how long they have been suffering, it is never easy to say good bye to your parent. Just know that now she is up in Heaven with all of her loved ones that have gone before her. She’s looking down on you right now and smiling. You all have a new guardian angel!!!
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Dianne, Karen & all the big guys,
We send our heartfelt sympathy on the passing of your Mom. Dianne – ever since the wonderful summer we were ten & my family (just six kids) found out our new neighbors had enough new friends for all of us (plus two extra!), I happily melded into your clan, complete with nightly popcorn and all-weather BBQ’s. Your Mom’s smiles, caring and artistic ability are fondly remembered. With love, Laurie
Heidi would want me to say..”I love you and you are very much missed” we both have your family in our prayers and send to you our love and support at this time of loss.
I have just watched the beautiful memorial to Betty Sue and it hard to write because of my teary eyes. The tears are not sad tears but joyful tears. Betty Sue was a beatiful woman who married a wonderful man and then blessed the world with eight special children. I have been blessed with Diannes friendship for many, many years and have had the honor of knowing her brothers and sisters. Some of my fondest memories are of visiting the Seifert house and everyone was always so sweet and happy. All of the “furry” people were friendly and happy too. I was able to visit with Betty before Christmas of 2008 and she said that she truly has had a wonderful, fulfilling life. Her family was the greatest blessing of all.
God Bless all of you!
Love, Lou
