May the happy memories of your Dad sustain you through this difficult time. May God hold you all in the hollow of his hand. Pam (Lambert) and Tim Seasoltz

By The love and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ may Mel once again meet up with his beloved Polly on their journey home. As a youngster attending SMS I was fortunate to meet Mr. & Mrs Weyandt and they were so nice to me; often Mr. Weyandt drove us SMS football players to our games - thank you Mr. Weyandt. My deepest condolences to my good friend Janet, her brothers and all family of Mel and Pauline. God bless each of you and allow you to share the good memories of their lifetime.
