It was with a great sense of loss when we heard of Mr. DeVines death. The Seefeldt children are truly saddened, for Mr. DeVine was more than just a wonderful person; he was always so kind and considerate to us that we always welcomed seeing him at every opportunity. We know that his passing will not only leave a void in our mothers life but within our lives also and in the hearts of all those who knew him.Mr. DeVine will always remain within our hearts. Our sincere thoughts and prayers are with his family and our mother. With our deepest sympathy, Cathy, Sharon, Charles, Lisa and Bradley
