I’m so sorry for the loss of your husband, Seymour. Seymour was such a wonderful man. I tell the story of how I met the two of you to whomever will listen. We were at our Daina Smith’s office, and you happened to go in first for your appointment. I sat reading something when Seymour called out to me, “Hello Cape Cod.” We were the only people in the waiting room, and I looked up at Seymour saying, “are you talking to me?” Seymour pointed out that on my pink sweatshirt the letters there were announcing that maybe I was from Cape Cod, or liked Cape Cod. Either way that’s how we got to talking while waiting for our appointment. He broke the ice with a joke, saying, “my name is Seymour, do Less! That made me chuckle. He then proceeded to tell me of his love story for you, Adelle. We have been friends ever since. You and I talk frequently on the phone, but the message you left on my phone Friday, March 31st didn’t seem real. Seymour was a good husband, father, and friend, with a good sense of humor and he will be missed by many who know him. With that said, I want you to know that I’m here for you, Adelle.
With much Love & Light,
Anita Hatch
