Our condolences to the entire Seli Family. Mr. and Mrs. Seli (as we called your Mother and Dad) were friends of our parents, and were so kind and good to our parents.
We enjoyed talking to your Mother (and Dad) when she would visit our home and when we would see both of your parents at church at Our Lady of Grace when we were growing up in Pittsburgh.
We hope you will be comforted by the many happy memories of your Mother and her love to all of you.

Our condolences to the entire Seli family. As good friends of John, Leanne, Laura, Matt and Lindsay, we have had the occasion to meet your fine family and dear Mother and Father. It's always been a pleasure to meet and hear about your family through the past 20+ years. And so, we feel your loss and sadness too and yet, have faith that they are reunited once again.
May your wonderful family memories and stories be shared and bring you comfort. Leanne and John always shared the houseboat story involving an ice pick in the cooler and your mother's concern about holes in the cans....:)
God bless you all,
Tom and Lorraine Winterink Madison,Christian and Liam Lievrouw
