Dad, I miss you very much. I have learned so much from you and am the man I am today because of you. Thank you for being a great father and I will see you again
Grandpa, I love and miss you very much! I will see you again someday, but please watch over us until then. -Jason
Dad, it is hard for me to believe that you are gone, you were taken from us much too soon. I miss you and love you so much. Thanks for being my father and know that I am proud to be your son. Even though I cannot see you with my eyes, I can still feel you in my heart and I know that one day I will see you again. Until that day, I know that you will be there with us – holding our hands when we miss you and lending us some of your strength when we falter.
The safest place I can remember is being in my fathers arms… Dad I will forever miss you…. Love, Mark
To the family of Kenneth Schoetmer, We were very sad to hear of the passing of our member, Kenneth F Schoettmer. Sending our sincere sympathy and may God comfort all those who loved him. From the National Road Branch of Centra Credit Union.
Dear Dad, Life is not the same without you. A part of my heart left with baby Mary, and then my dear daddy. Now a part of my heart goes with you. I miss you so much, but know that Jesus has a wonderful home for you. One I cannot begin to imagine. You and my daddy can take turns holding baby Mary. Give her a kiss for me. I love you forever.
We were very saddened to hear of your loss. We pray for strength, peace, and comfort for the entire family. Blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted. God bless…
To the entire Schoettmer family, We are so sorry for your loss. We hope that you can find some comfort with the company of your family at this very difficult time. As neighbors, please let us know if we can help at any time.
