Mike:



Sandra and I were shocked to hear the news from the old Selz/Seabolt grapevine. We pray that God gives you the strength to understand during this personal ordeal.

Michael,



Sorry I could not make it. Although you are suffering a terrible loss, still - nobody could have predicted that you would be blessed with one such as she and for that, all of us can be most grateful.

Dear Mike,

I'm so sorry to hear that Lois died! Doris Semler called me. She was a wonderful person and I'm sorry for your great loss. My husband, Ross, (Doris' attorney) died February 21, 2005 of pancreatic cancer. We were all with you and Lois at Ravinea and always had a great time with all of you. I still have my plastic fans that you gave everyone at dinner that time.

If I can do anything at all for you or just listen to you reminisce, please call anytime. (847)593-7225.

You have many happy memories - try to remember the good times and not all the medical stuff. Take care and again I'm so sorry to hear of her untimely death!



Sincerely, Renate S. Miller
