Rest in peace dear Sefa. I will miss your stories, your laughter, your bright smile and zest for life! You were devoted to your family and friends and we'll cherish the memories of you forever. Enjoy your dad's company now in heaven.

Sefa and I are from humble beginnings. She went on to be a role model---a great listener, model of strength and encouragement, worked very hard, and always made people around her laugh. Rest in peace dear friend and know you're always remembered. Edna

Sefa was a sweet girl and enjoyed catching up with her at the reunions. Prayers and condolances to her family.

To Sefa's family. Sefa and I were odd friends when at Santa Maria High School. We didnt run in the same crowds but we were classmates. She never failed to make me laugh. We had such a good time in class together. I know you will miss her. I can see her right now in my minds eye. Smiling and laughing, what a great laugh she had. I am so sorry for your loss.
With respect,
Nancy (Trebon) Howard
