To the FAMILY of Melba Sue Hadl. So sad to hear that Melba has gone from our sight! I worked with Melba at the BANK then named FIRST NATIONAL BANK. Melba was a hard worker, a fun Coworker and well liked by all of her customers. We worked hard her smile and attitude made everyday A FUN DAY! We had a lot of laughs together and long talks when we would meet in the grocery store We blocked the aisles and visited like we were at home!! She loved BINGO and her boys, her husband !!!AND EVERYONE LOVED HER. SMILE ON MELBA!!!
Our thoughts are with all the family and friends at this difficult time. So very sorry for your loss.
Dear Linda, John and Tom and families, I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Melba was a sweet, kind, loving person. She is with our Lord now and at peace and healthy.
Love and prayers to all of you and also to her husband and children. May our good Lord bless you with peace and comfort. Love to all Karen
There are no words to describe the sorrow. She was a wonderful person and a great cousin. Will be praying for all the family.
Dean, so sorry to hear about Melba. Twice now for you is a little much. All the family is in my prayers.
Dear Dean and Family, my thoughts and prayers our with you all at this time….Mike Hadl
My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Melba will be so missed, her warm smile, and the love she gave to us all, is how I remember her.
Please accept my deepest sympathies. Coping with the loss of a loved one is likely the hardest thing anyone ever has to do. Thankfully the Bible makes this reassuring promise: “Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” (Psalm 34:18) I hope that this verse brings you a measure of comfort in your time of need.
To My Uncle Dean and Families:
Matt and I are so sorry for your loss. You are in our prayers everyday. Wish we could be there for you to give you a big hug. Mebla was a wonderful person and had a great laugh. We will be in Kansas November 10 so we will see you soon.
Our Love & Prayers Always.
So sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. We are keeping you in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers during this difficult time. May your memories help to give you comfort now and in the days ahead.
