    "Mom", "Grandma White-hair", Marty was a woman to be loved and admired by all whom she encountered. She was an honest, loving, giving, funny, encouraging, and very sweet mother in law to me, mom to my husband and grandmother to my children. She made me feel like a member of the family from the day I met her. I also think, on that day, that she was secretly delighted that she was no longer the lone female in the family! She leaves behind a legacy of love, dedication and devotion to her family and all her friends. The path our lives will take will always be impacted because we knew her, loved her and were loved by her.

    Dear Seipel family: Know that your Presbyterian family here in Virginia Beach will be taking care of Julie, Mark Laura, and Lynna. Over the years, we here at King's Grant Presbyterian Church enjoyed knowing "Mark's mom." Harry and she are part of our extended family. Her entrance into the Church Triumphant does not change that. We rejoice that she has won the victory and is in that place of peace. May God bless all of you! J. Selden Harris, Jr. Pastor, King's Grant Presbyterian Church Virginia Beach VA

    Dear Seipel family, We felt privileged and honored to know Marty on her visits to Virginia Beach. We remember with great fondness our many conversations in Julie's kitchen before the meals. She did not hesitate to speak her mind and always had an opinion. We did not know of her great charitable efforts. Her greatest credit is raising two fine sons and helping with all her grandchildren. We think she is at peace now after her ordeal. We hope all of you will console yourselves with that knowledge. Love, Margie and Harry Ambrose

    Dear friends, though it has been a longh time, I do remember all of you well and was sorry to hear of Martha's passing. I fondly remember how we were so warmly welcomed into your house when we visited from PGH on those many occasions. I know my mother will send a note directly, as she isn't comfortable with these new communications vehicles. But wanted to let you know that you are in our thoughts from up here in Wayland, MA. Warmly, Jon and Ann.
