Well Gram it has been almost a week since dad came to see you. I hope you can keep him in line. Although I know you have your hands full. Just let him know that I love him. Say hello to mom for me, she must have her hands full too. I really miss her and it just isn't the same without her. I don't know how I do it. Give her a great big hug and kiss for me and tell her I love her. I will see you guys when it is time. I love you and miss you all.

Dearest Grammie Seale,
I hope you heard my poem at the funeral home, because I meant everything single word. Grammie, I will always be thinking about you and you will always be in my heart. Sometimes, when I'm having a bad day, I think about you and you bring my spirits up! It's almost like you're the little voice in my head saying "cheer up, Kelsey, I'm here now", and making me feel like you're there with me has always cheered me up, now, that your in heaven, it shouldnt be any different, and I wont allow it to be. I wish I could have been at the nursing home with you every second, just so i could keep you company and see you be happy. But, thats only what I thought. Now, I realize, I was with you, heart, mind, and spirit. I wish I had realized that earlier, but, I cant change the past, and the future is what its going to be. The heart, mind, and spirit of every one has changed since you left. But, they should realize that they have changed for the better knowing that your in a wonderful and better place. I always have believed that and I always will. Grammie, you are everybody's shining star!!!! Tell Grampa Seale I wished I had gotten to know him, because everybody says he was a wonderful person. WOW!!! You and Grampa are a perfect match!
With all of the love in my heart,
Dorothy Wright

Dearest Mama,
I know the angels embraced you as you left us and took you to Heaven where Daddy (your special love and friend in life), Margaret, Pattie, Roger and Aunt Mary were waiting for you! Please tell them I miss them and love them. Tell Margaret if I only could have it to do over I would have done it different as I know she would have too! I missed my niece and nephews! We had a bond that even thru it all we knew we loved each other. I miss her! It was raining (tears) so hard the other day I knew you had made it! Most of us will have memories of you in Twin Mt. all the years we spend together and yes the many many cards games. Although they may not have visited you in the Nursing home as much as they should have in the past 7 years their memories are of YEARS of good loving times with you! You were always a kind and loving Mother. A wonderful Grammie. How those Grandchildren loved their Grammie Seale (Jessie gave that name to you because she had so many Grandmothers) Raising six children never complaining about anything always looking on the bright side of things. I can't remember a time when you were ever angry or mad at anything! The wonderful meals you cooked! The many friends you have!How I wish we all could be more like you! I will miss you and I want to thank you for all the wonderful memories you left me! We really had some great times!
Love, Peanut

I am so glad you are not in any pain now or fear of what was happening next. This rest has been long in coming for you..Hope Fred was waiting with open arms. You will be really missed,forever in our hearts, and never forgotten. Enjoy your new life.

May the Lord bless and keep you, dear friend. You will be greatly missed by all.
I regret that I cannot be there in person to say my good-bys and offer comfort to your family, but I am in the hospital recovering from surgery.
I am with you in spirit and in my prayers.

Fran, there are so many wonderful memories of you and mom, with you two hitting the road and coming out to Calif, and Minn. to see me. There was a wonderful loving bond between you and mom and I know you two are having a great time together catching up. You were a wonderful friend to me as well and a great support when mom passed. Your door was always open and you always wore your loving warm smile.
I've missed you sence you moved from Twin Mt. but know you were enjoying your new friends. I will miss you very much, but know your with so many of the loved ones that have gone before you. Be at peace my friend until we meet again. Much Love, Bonnie and Paul
