Kathy,

May God comfort you and give you peace knowing that your husband is now with Jesus.

So sorry for your loss. It was so nice to meet Mel and see you at our reunion.

Eternal Father, strong to save,

Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,

Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep,

Its own appointed limits keep.

You will be missed greatly. I am glad I got to know Mel and his wife. Thanks for being apart of my life. I have lots of memories of Mel and they all make you laugh or smile. Rest in peace Mel.

Kathy & family,

We send our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to you at this difficult time.

My sympathy to you. Alfred enjoyed seeing Melvin at the Plainfield class reunions. Alfred died just a year ago after lymphoma for 3 years. Thnking of you.

Dear Kathy,

My prayers to you and your family with Mel's passing. It was a pleasure to have met him at our school reunions. May God be with you all.

Dear Kathy and Family -- We are so sorry to hear of Mel's passing. We will always treasure the times we got to visit with him and you during our trips to Iowa City over the years. Phil, Kathryn, John and I are sorry that we can't be there with you this weekend, but we are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers.

My sincere sympathies to Kathy and family. Mel was a delight and always full of stories and advice whenever he would stop in the School of Nursing at MSU, Mankato. He kept us all entertained and loved giving us a "hard time!"

My sympathy to you, Kathy. May you always be aware of God's love for you as He comforts and heals your pain. Blessings to you and your family.

Kathy

Cherish all the good memories. Evelyn

Dear Family of Mel Schweer,

My parents, Margaret and Dean Keith were good friends of Mr. and Mrs. Schweer. My mother, Margaret Keith, worked as the office manager at Iowa Illinois Gas and Ellectric Co. for many years, and worked direcltly with Mel. She always commented that he was the most wonderful boss ever. Mel and his wife often visited my parents in their home in Solon, and I was lucky to meet and visit with them on several occasions. Mel always remembered my Mother with lovelly flowers on "Secretary's Day" or other holidays. Mel was a brilliant man, but never let his high intelligence make anyone feel inferior to him. My mother passed away several years ago, and at the end she also suffered of dimentia. I know Mel was a loving husband and father, and well liked and respected by many. My husband, Jim Washburn, also worked at Iowa Illinois Gas and Electric for many years. Jim passed away of lung cancer about a year and a half ago. He also spoke highly of Mel and how friendly he was to everyone. I'm sure Mel's kindness and intelligence will be carried on by his children. You have my deepest sympathy. Your memories of this wonderful man will help carry you though this time of grief and healing.

On behalf of the entire staff and city council of the City of Blue Grass, IA; our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Kathy and family- Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. May your memories of a life well lived and the love of family and friends be with you. With sympathy- Steve and Pat Campbell Cook

Mel was a good employee that accomplished his work load in an efficient and knowledgable manner. He was a proud father and I know he will be sourly missed.

I am so sorry to hear about Mel. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him at Kiwanis. I will be out of town this week in business and unfortunately unable to attend the services. I will keep your family in my prayers.
