Freddie Seckinger and Family
It was only last week Freddie and I were comparing our lives and the care of our mothers. There were many similarities. I am so sorry that I could not make it to the Funeral but I was thinking of ya'll. Be joyous in your lives to come. Funerals are for the living to morn, heal and to rejoin in kinship. Live well, laugh often and love each other much.

God bless you in this difficult time and please know that you have my and Dwayne's deepest sympathy. I wish we were able to be there but at the present Dwayne is in the hospital but our thoughts and prayers are with you.
