Dear Abele Family,
My thoughts are with you as you live through one of life's most challenging moments. The mixed feelings of relief as Mel no longer suffers through his physical pain and the sorrow of losing his daily presence. I'm so sorry I was traveling last week and was unaware of his passing and the services. I would have loved to have been there and see you all, especially to Fran, Stan & Pat, Stacy & Phil and Spencer.

I'm hoping that memories of Mel fill your hearts with smiles as you each recall the many ways he touched your life. Take Care.

Dear Abele Family,
After losing both of my parents this year I think I can understand how you might feel at this time. I hope you all can find some comfort knowing he lived a long and fulfilling life.
Our entire family will always remember him. He was a great man.
We will have a void in our life.

We did not know Mr. Abele, but we do know his son, Spencer. We know his dad meant & still does alot to him. He is in a better place now and is not suffering anymore.

Our prayers go out to the Abele family.
