I received this message from a friend of Above Level.  It was written by Sandy Sessink to all of her and her brother’s friends in the Morgan community.

If we are very lucky, each one of us has a person in our lives who we automatically turn to when something
important happens, good or bad.  We are unconditionally drawn to that person for support just to get through everyday life.  My brother, Calvin Sessink was that person for me.  I would not be who I am in the horse business, or as a person were it not for Calvin.  As many of you know, Calvin passed away last night, June 24th.  He sustained devastating injuries after being struck by a large tree branch while working on his tractor here at Old Orchard Farm in Michigan.  The damage was just too much for his body to handle. 

The following arrangements have been made to honor Calvin: Visitation will begin at 11:30 am on Saturday, June 28th at Phillips Funeral HomeA service will be held at 5:00 pm at the funeral home.A buffet gathering will follow at the South Lyon Hotel, adjacent to the funeral home.Phillips Funeral Home 122 West Lake StreetSouth Lyon, Michigan 48178; 248-437-1616. 

In lieu of flowers the family and friends of Calvin would ask that you send donations to the AMHA Capital Building Fund in his memory. 

The Capital Building Fund was established in 2007 to address repairs needed at the AMHA Headquarters in
Shelburne VT. Contributions in Calvin’s memory will be directed to repairs of the historical cupola that tops the facility, and a plaque will be placed in the foyer in Calvin’s remembrance.

Donation may be sent  to:
Julie Broadway

My best to all of you,
Sandy Sessink
