To the beautiful Seltzer Family,
We loved Nortie and will miss him very much. He was so much more than a friend to us. It is now up to all of you to carry on his spirit, his light, his kindness and his goodness. We know you will as he trained you well indeed!!! (Every time I win at tennis I thank Nortie for his patient lessons and encouragement.)
Please know our thoughts are with all of you at this difficult time. With our deepest sympathy and much love,
Marc and Nancy
