My thoughts and prayers are with the Selbach family at this time of the death of their loved one, Joseph Selbach. My contact with his family goes back to their days in Ionia (1940s) when I was their baby sitter for Joe. I was in Ionia a few weeks ago and drove past their home on Lincoln Ave, across from the gas station, and recalled fond memories of my times there. I wondered whatever became of the family after they moved away. As I recall he was a good child and easy to care for. May God bring comfort as you recall your happy memories. Sincerely Esther Van Hammen

I am offering my sincere condolences on the death of your husband Joe to you and your family. It is difficult to say much as we have lost touch for such a long time. I am sure the support of your family will be a source of comfort to you.
Sincerely,
Molly
