We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services – Mount Vernon
Stan, Paul, and Shelly, For a couple of years in aproximately 1979, I worked at Sears and met your mother there. She was a very lovely lady and I enjoyed talking with her. I remember Velma talking about her remodeling, working with wood etc. One time at a office Christmas party she gave me a pair of glass birds of which I still have today in the windowsill on my porch. I have thought about your mother, Velma, often over the years. God has blessed her and God Bless you and the rest of her family. Most Sincerely, Kristine W.
My name is Kim Meyer. I worked with Velma Seitz at College Community Schools. She was a very down to earth person. She was abit older then me but we became friends from day one. We clicked like two peas in a pod. She never judged me and I always felt more grounded after talking with her. She was a true friend. I hadn’t seen her for a long time but somehow I knew we were and always would be good friends. I will miss her dearly. God has a new angel in Heaven ❤️
