I was so sorry to hear the news of Mr. Piper passing. Whenever we were over for a party he was always welcoming and friendly. He will be missed dearly by all of you and I was glad to have him pass through my life. I’m sure Alice and Bobby will be waiting for him with open arms.
I am so sorry I was unable to be with you today for his service, but he and all of you were in my thoughts many times today.
Prayers and hugs to all of you.
Love Kathi (Hannigan) Seibt
