Dear Mr. Seo, Gene, Nathan and Family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. As Nathan's kindergarten teacher, I was fortunate enough to get to know Mrs. Seo. She was such a kind and thoughtful person who had such a beautiful smile when she talked about her family. Rest in peace sweet lady. Love to you and the boys.

There are not the right words to express the sorrow in my heart. It is heavy with grief. Sunmi was a sweet, kind and humble person. She was an excellent nurse and had a heart of pure gold. My condolences to her family, both those here and those in South Korea.

Isaiah 57:1-2
Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come. For those who follow godly paths will rest in peace when they die.
I will surely miss you....May rest in peace.. Love you...and to the family, my thoughts and prayer are with you, May you find comfort with God.
