Where does Julia live, I grew up in the same neighborhood with her family.
My condolences for your loss Seeley family. I have some fond memories of playing on a softball team with Chuck. If memory serves me, my dad and Chuck’s dad were our coaches. May you all find comfort in this time of your loss
Julia you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
I have had the privilege to get to know Chuck as he delivered flowers to our hospital gift shop. Chuck was wonderful, always kind, funny, caring, and just had such a sweet spirit. I will miss him. I pray for his family in the days ahead. RIP, my friend!
My heart felt condolences to Julia and family. May his memory provide all of y’all with comfort and peace. God Bless
