To the Schmale Family, May each of you find comfort in knowing that God is “near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” Psalm 34;18 He has promised to soon “swallow up death forever…and wipe the tears from all faces.” Isaiah 25;8 Take care,

My family has always appreciated the way you have welcomed us over the years and made us to feel a part of your family, and we share your sorrow. God Bless you all.
My deepest sympathy on the lost of your Mother, Debbie. I did not know her, but I know how hard it is to lose your Mom. Continue to lean on her love, she is with you and helping you where you least expect it. I will continue to pray for you and for her repose.
our condolences to the family, It was a priveledge to meet and to know your mother, She loved Marcos and always supported him in all his school fundraisers. We never realize how much we love someone until they are truly no longer with us. We will miss her and her wonderful smile. Love, The Figueroa Family
My condolences on the loss of your mom. I will miss seeing her in the front pew at St.Thomas sitting with Chris. I know you will miss her but be reassured that she is watching out for you, and all the rest of your family.
Aunt Bonnie, You really don’t know how much you will be missed by us.
Sincerely,
Your Nephew

Bonnie,
I will miss your smiling face sitting in the front pew on Sunday mornings when I walk in with my little ones. And our long talks about C-PAP machines. You will truly be missed.

Deb, Bonnie, Walter Frank and Sandy, My condolences on the loss of your mom. She was a beautiful woman and I am so grateful that I was able to get to know her better the past three years sharing coffee hour with her at church. How great it is that she is now able to enjoy eternal life with God and your dad and at the same time…continue to watch over you as mothers always do.
