Many people e-mailed or called the Herald to add their comments about the death of Mayor Ed Sieban. Most spoke of his open-mindedness, his fairness, and his devotion to his village and his family.
Space limitations did not allow us to print all of these tributes, or we had to edit some of them to fit, so we have posted them in their entirety here.

Thank you, Mary Malloy, editor

It’s not that I have anything against Mexico; love the country; love the people. It’s just that I would like to edge the state of Texas over the border and out of America.
