Seckler -- Nathan Wade Seckler Not a day goes by that we don't think of you and the impact you made on our lives during the short time you spent with us one year ago. You are greatly missed, but always with us as we move from day to day, hour to hour, minute to minute. The love we feel for you will always be with us. The feelings of emptiness are consoled only by the hope that we will meet up with you at a later time. Your time here served as a reminder that life is so very precious. So few really appreciate what is given to them during their lives. Sometimes it is what is taken from them that teaches appreciation. During the last year we have learned much about appreciation. You are and always will be a part of our family. For this, we are very appreciative. All our love, Daddy, Mommy, and Megan
