Dear Seiler Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I was sorry to hear about Mike. I remember from our childhood that he was always outgoing and optomistic. I remember helping him move BMWs from Kentucky. We had great times cruising around in various cars.

My thoughts and prayers are with the faimly.

Dear Seiler Family,

I would like to extend my sincere condolences upon hearing of Mike's untimely passing. Mike and I shared some wonderful times...going to Nick and Jimmy's, cruising in the GTO, going to Ann Arbor...he even sold me my first car when he was a salesman at Classic Auto! He was a great guy!

My thoughts are with you,

Jeff

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

Dear Mike--

I'm so saddened to hear of your son's death. I never had the opportunity to meet Mike, but I know he was your great friend and gave you many reasons to be proud of him. You have many others who are thinking of you in your time of mourning. I wanted you to know I'm one.
