My dearest “little sister” I’m so sorry this has happened. I find it hard to find words to comfort you. I know I can’t. I remember back in college when a certain young fool made the worst decision of his life and stopped loving you. I sat with you and watch you cry. I remember telling you that you would be all right that you were more then he deserved. It was easy then to come up with the words. All I had to do was show you the beauty I saw in your soul and in your hart. I’m happy that you found a person that saw that in you too. I never met Harry but if you loved him I know the kind of man he was. I wish that I could take this pain from you as I did all those years ago; but I can’t I can’t even offer safe space to cry. All I can do is let you know that I’m holding you in my hart and hope that you can somehow feel you “big brother’s” bear hug. I know you are stronger then you think and are love by so many that you will make it. Love you always Little Sis.  Alex Moreda

Having been with you on your wedding day was a blessing for me. Especially for you both on this special day. I can not believe it was 27 years ago.

My friend, our brother in EMS, you are missed but I am assured that you are well with our Lord.
I have thought of you often through the years and remember the times together.
Unfortunately I will be unable to see you off on the next response due to another memorial for a colleague who has passed recently.
On behalf of the folks at Brandywine Hospital, Aeromedix and SkyFlightCare and Medic 93. We wish you forever peace and your families strength to know you will always be with us in our hearts. Our thanks and love to you.
Leo Scaccia. Director of pre-hospital services. (Ret)

Adela and family, You don’t know me, but you may have heard of my parents, George and Gloria Seifried from Ross St Church.  My siblings and I grew up with Butch and his family.  My brother Ted was just 4 months older than Butch. My brother passed from pancreatic cancer 2 years ago.  We had such a good time with the Pfrommer’s.  I am so sorry for your loss.  Be comforted by the good news that Butch is in the arms of his Lord and Savior.  I can absolutely and confidently attest to that having lost mom, dad, and test.  There will be a hallejuah reunion for all believers.  Cherish the memories.

Harry was my partner on the medic unit for several years. I also had the pleasure of being a groomsman at his wedding to Adela. Unfortunately we lost touch. Harry continues to be a legend with everyone he has worked with. He is still known for his stories and sense of humor. My condolences to Adela and the family. John Applegate
