Dear Seckendorf Family,
Our deepest sympathy on the passing of Marion. We were stationed in Japan when we met your family and were pleasantly surprised to learn we were all in Rochester after retirement from the Air Force. Loved to remember the old days together when we met again.
God bless.

Dear Seckendorf family: We are so sorry that we were not able to attend the wake or funeral for a very special lady. It truly bothered us not to be available to give you our condolences in person. Please know that our thoughts and prayers have been with you this week. Howie must have been so happy to see his Mom again. I hope they are enjoying each other's company.

Know that there are many who will miss your mom, she was such a sweet person and am glad I had the opportunity to know her. My mom enjoyed getting to know her too at Colonial Hill. She always had such a beautiful and warm smile! Her love just glows in each one of you and I pray the memories she has given you will comfort you especially through this difficult time. Love & prayers,

To the entire Seckendorf Family,
I can hardly remember a time when Margie wasn't in my life and for that I am forever greatful. She and my Mother have been friends for atleast 40 years, way back since the "Suzelles" days. I feel lucky to have had her in my life, she was a wonderful woman.
I am so thankful for her gift of friendship to my mother and to my family. May she rest in peace now. May you all hold your memories close to your heart now, for she will always be with you that way.
My thoughts and prayers are with you now

I would like to offer my sincere sympathy to Warren and the rest of his family in this hard time. I did not know Margie, but I served with Warren for many years at the Salem Fire Department and knew him since August 12, 1985 when we both started our career together on the same day. Warren, like many other firefighters became a brother to me and in the true spirit of the fire service, I feel that his loss is my loss in a very strange way that others may not understand.
Sincerely,
Dave SmithSFD Ret.
