Sandy and Family, So sorry, you have my sympathy. Traci Moorhead Seibert
Several years ago I happened upon Van and his wife at a gas station in Lakewood, Colorado. At that time I was living in the mountains and had come down to the “flat land”. We were so surprised to see each other. I was sorry later that I didn’t get their address. Rest in peace, Van. Condolences to all the family.
Sandy, sorry so hear of your loss of your bother.. my prayers are with you my friend.. God Speed……
I was so sad to see of Vandal’s passing. I was his second grade teacher at Central School. He was such a sweet young man!! I just loved him so much.
My thoughts and prayers are with his entire family!
