SELDEN FRANCIS "FRITZI" E., Jr. "Jesus gave him as a gift to us and now it's time to give him back to Jesus."

Some people touch your life for just a moment but leave an indelible mark on your soul. That was Fritzi to me....he showed me how to be a better person during my teenage years. He also taught me how to deal with people who have handicaps, but don't let the handicaps defeat them. He also smiled, hugged to hard, listened to me and years later remembered me. Thank you Fritizi for being a part of my life and teaching me that God's love reaches all of us. Karl (or Karure as you always pronounced it)

The mystery of The Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, shines through a husband and wife and their children. Thank you for shining such a beautiful light on the world. I am very sorry for your great loss, but you know it is a time limited loss, and you all will be united through eternal life. Know that all of you are being prayed for.
