Barb ara Strasser Seubert wrote a sympathy message

“Dear Joel, Jenny, and Jill, My deepest sympathy I send to you. Your mother was all that is good in life. She was love personified and all who were privileged to have her knew that. Your mother touched so many lives, and mine was one of those gifted by her love. We met in middle school and formed a deep bond throughout our high school years. Her love and friendship made me believe I was worthwhile! I hold you in my heart as you grieve. Her spirit lives with us in joy. Love, Barbara”
