<div dir="ltr">
<div dir="ltr"><span>Many of you, especially those of you who have
attended the SEL/ATIS gatherings at the Portland IN show, met and
got to know one of the kindest and gentlest souls I’ve ever known:
Janel Sewell - Steve Sewell’s wife. </span><br><br><span>Unfortunately she passed away this morning.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><span><br></span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><span>She had struggled with health issues on and
off for several years but always bore up under the weight of it
without complaint using a calm strength I found amazing. She
was always a relaxing and sweet presence any time I swung by the
trailer at Portland to talk with her. She was also a
wonderful hostess the few times I spent the night at Steve’s house
or attended one of their gatherings. Her relationship with
her daughter was inspiring and her career in nursing in one of of
the most difficult settings a nurse can operate in was an example
of selfless service. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><br></div>
<div dir="ltr">While I never saw her more than once or twice a year
the world suddenly seems emptier and colder. My only beacon
of hope is the idea she is enjoying a loving reunion with
John(a son Steve and Janel lost about 15 years ago). It is
my fervent prayer that Steve and his daughter Wendy can find peace
and consolation with that thought.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br></div>
<div dir="ltr"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">I post this
because Steve Sewell has been such an important part of ATIS:
past and present. We owe a lot to him. Janel’s
presence and contributions were also important and I for one will
miss her.</span></div>

Sewells.</span></font></div>
