man oh man… I’m full of tears and I didn’t even know Seth.

Here’s what I do know:
1. you cared about him, a LOT A LOT.
2. his wife is gorgeous.
3. that the world is emptier without him.
4. there are few people in this world who are as wonderful as he was (I know that from your stories combined with the incredible slideshow).
5. to remind myself daily… “can this be fixed?… yes. my life is wonderful even when it seems all else is in sucktown.” thank you for the perspective.
6. to tell the people I love that I love them… daily.
7. that you, Miss Heather, are in a league of your own. Thank you for caring and loving people so much. you make me want to be a better person.

I’m so deeply saddened for Seth’s wife Jennifer. Sending big hugs your way. HUGE hugs. So sorry friend.

I love you Heather, Jake, Olivia & Jillian… big time.

WOW – thanks everyone for the awesome comments. Sarah – I absolutely LOVE that song by Mercy Me, we played it at my father’s funeral and to this day, when I hear it I think of him. So glad I was able to share Seth’s story and hopefully touch a few people along the way. xoxoxo

Heather,
Reading your post brought back so many memories of my families life last year. My sister was 37 and passed away from infection too. She was as wonderful has Seth sounded. She has spina bifida and accomplished more in her 37 years of life then many people that I know that live into their 80′s or older. I take peace in knowing that all the people that were there to support us were there because they loved Krista. I can tell from your post that Seth’s family had the same support. I love the thought that our loved ones are healthy and are dancing in front of God. We played the song I can only Imagine by Mercy Me at Krista’s service. If you have not heard it, look it up on Youtube. I think it will touch you as it did us. You and Seth’s family are in my prayer and I hope the wonderful memories help you all through this difficult time.

Sorry for all the hurting each of you and his family and friends are going through. It’s not easy losing anybody, but a partner, spouse & dad are some of the hardest loses to endure. Be there for his wife and kids as much as you can, but not just now…forever. They will need the support.

I couldn’t watch the slideshow…but will come back when I can.

Heather, as I watched this in your office today with you and could’nt say anything because I was crying so hard I walked away thinking of how Seth touched everyone of our lives. He was like my second brother and the strongest man I know! A true survivor!! No matter how sad this makes me, I know everytime I watch this I will cry, but it will be tears of joy knowing he is no longer suffering. He is looking down on all of us right now with that signature smile letting us know he is alright! We love you Seth and thank you for everything you tought all of us!!

Oh Heather, I’m completely in tears. Looking at Seth reminds me of my father. He died when i was 10 at the age of 34 after battling a cancerous brain tumor for 5 years. At the time I felt like he was old…but now I realize how young he was. I watched my mother experience this loss and my heart breaks for Jennifer but it is true what you say…there is nothing worse than watching your loved one suffer. I will continue to pray for her and all of you to help you through this difficult time.

Thanks for sharing this with everyone Heather! I’m so sorry for what you’ve been though. I know it’s hard! My little sister died a few years ago. I really appreciate your positive attitude and outlook on life. It helps me remember all the lessons I learned through my sister’s death, and how easy it is to forget those when life’s crazy sometimes.
