Our heartfelt sympathy is with you and your family, Debbie. May God comfort all of you now and in the days to come.
Dear Debbie and family,
There is nothing that can be said about how it feels to lose a parent in death. A part of yourself is just not complete anymore. Please know that you are in my prayers and thoughts, and remember the promise of Resurrection at Easter. It’s “party time” for your Dad! Take care, and I hope to see you soon. A big hug to “you know who” for me, OK?
Love, David Spring
He was and still is the best Dad ever. He will always be with me, standing by my side. I love you Papasan
Our deepest sympathies and prayers are with the Schmale family.
Debbie, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your whole family.
No words can truly express my sympathy that goes to you. Please know that my heart, thoughts and prayers are with you all.
He was a good neighbor and left a lasting impression on us and our daughters. We will miss him.
Debby:- Our Love and Prayers are with you always
Sandy, you and your family are in our prayers. With love, Julie, Kendra, and Aaron
Debbie and all the rest of the Schmale family. The service provided for your Dad was very nice. I am sure it was what he would have wanted. Let the thoughts of the Resurrection be your comfort, knowing that one day, you too will be with him in paradise. He remains with you now in all your loving memories.
