The Seiberlich FamilyByrl Guillien. Was a friend of our family for years, he was the kind of a man you wanted to know. He was a quiet man, a knowledgeable person, the most gracious gentleman you ever wanted to know, happy, always had that smile of his for anybody he spoke to. And always the hand shake, with the glad to know you. He was imbedded in our family, and was a good friend to our Mom until her passing. He will be missed by all of us. Rest In Pease Byrl you are in Gods hands now. PS: You can bet he is out for a ride in the Metropolitan or the AMX. The Seiberlich family.

Colin (Smitty) SmithBrenda, May the pain and sorrow you are felling now be softened with the knowledge of how much your father loved you. I believe the following poem truly expresses that love for you. A Father Loves a Daughter A father loves a daughter Like no other love on earth. From the day that he first meets her Nothing can compare her worth. Forever are they bonded With a love that never fails. For always he will hug her And kiss goodnight with fairy tales. He will love her and protect her With strong arms just in case But will also hug her tenderly With a fatherly embrace. Eskimo kisses touch her nose With a giggle and a squeeze And that sparkle in her little eyes Could bring him to his knees. What more could any father want Than a daughter so sweet and pure There's nothing in this world so rare Of that he can be sure. A fathers love is so unique It cannot be replaced He will always treasure times with her And the memories embraced. Author: Kristin Rose
