Tributes
"So sorry to hear of Harriets passing. She was a good woman, and that\'s a fact. It took a good gal to raise the Seekamp boys and she did a good job. I know when I first got to know Steve, Ed, and George, my grandmother was so happy. My grandmother told me that if I was lucky enough to call the Seerkamp\'s friends. I had real friends. Good luck to all of you. I know she will be missed. Craig Kellstrom"
