Dear Schwabe Family,

Our family sends our love and sympathy to you all. Our fondest memories of your father were at the family parties. He always greeted everyone so warmly and always seemed so full of life. It was always a pleasure to be around him.



May you find comfort in your memories of him and in the strength of your family.



We know that Jon was waiting for Mr. Schwabe with open arms. It makes us happy to think that they are together at peace.



Love, Joy, Jerry, Nick and Madeline
