So sorry to read of your loss and wish to extend our deepest sympathy to you all. We regret that we were unable to attend the visitation and service to extend our sympathy in person. We have many fond memories from when we were members at Concordia and worked closely with Wilma on school and church activities. We have been fortunate to have been able to see her since on various occasions and it was always a delight to visit and remember the times past. May God be with you all during this sad time in your lives and may all the fond memories always keep her alive in your hearts and thoughts. Bill & Edna Seipel, former Concordia members.
