    Although no words can make it go away, I am sorry for the pain your family had to endure. Only those who have been through the fight of a loved one with cancer know that pain and anguish.. We just have to wake up and go on because that’s what our loved one would want… Remember, this is just our temporary home and we will get to see our loved ones that have passed again. May God help all of you to find the strength everyday to move forward. Myles will always be with you in your heart every single day… Take care of yourselves …

    So sorry to hear of Myles’ passing. I worked with him for 22 years at Subaru. He was a blast to be around and one of the company’s best workers. He will surely be missed. His dad said it best tonight at the funeral home. “The only one that came out good over this was god, he got a good one”. I met his two sons also, they were so like him, proud, good looking men. A sweet mom and his dad was so like Myles, laughing & joking.

  22. Juli Barker January 23, 2015 at 7:05 pm

    I will always have fond memories of my cousin, Myles and I running around and playing as kids. May God grant you eternal peace!

  23. Belinda Gentry Magill January 24, 2015 at 8:23 am

    Gloria, George, Tonya, my sympathies to you all on the passing of Myles. Mom is not doing well so I am so sorry we will not be coming over today for the services. We are there in thought and in our hearts. I will bring Mom over for a visit as soon as possible. I’ll always remember Myles as one of the funniest people I knew. God be with you all during this difficult time.

  24. Brett Porter January 24, 2015 at 2:48 pm

    Mr. And Mrs Schimmel, Growing up so near Kilmore and hanging out with Myles was a privilege. He was always so much fun to be with. I remember when he spent the summer in Japan. The day he came home I gave him a bag of rice. He was so happy to see that after a summer fill with a lot of rice he threw it at me, but we had a good laugh.

    I hope one day your pain and sorrow will turn to grateful memories of having such a great son.

  25. Mike and Mary Boruta January 25, 2015 at 6:04 am

    To the entire Schimmel family, your in our thoughts and prayers. Your Michigan Cousins (Family of Isabelle Stewart Amthor) Mike and Mary Boruta

    Dear George and Gloria, Tonya, Linda & Dave, Myles’ kids and grandkids (whom I’ve never met but we are cousins!) and and all our families,
    We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Myles. We are praying for your comfort. Myles was a favorite cousin of mine growing up! What memories we all have! How glad I am for those times shared when we were kids, at Stewart family Thanksgivings or hanging out at one another’s homes out in the country listening to records or delivering bales of hay when we were kids, as well as a few brief but precious visits in recent years. One of those visits was when I stopped by your house, George and Gloria, and Myles came over to visit. That was terrific! Also, my dad, George F. Stewart got to visit with Myles once, who recognized him (despite not seeing him for decades!) and made himself known, expressing great affection for his Uncle George and times spent on the farm. That meant so much to Dad! Dad (George F.) and Carleton will be shocked and so sad as was I to hear the news, as we all think so much of you guys. You’re all so special and loved. I bet our mom, Eileen, so recently departed and now in Heaven, was really surprised and must’ve said, “Why Myles, what are you doing here already?” We are never ready to let go of our loved ones at any age. Know how much they will always love us as we love them. May God grant us all peace, hope with reunion in Heaven, and comfort. We’ll be thinking of you with love and prayers.

    Love, John Cox and Sandra Stewart Cox
