Melvin Jerome Treakle

I would like to express my sympathy to the family of Ms. Andrade. Death is never an easy thing. I hope you are finding comfort in the time you spent with your dear loved one. Please find comfort in the hope expressed in the Bible at Revelation 21:3,4 where it tells us that mourning, pain, and death will be things of the past. I hope you find comfort in this hope. Feel free to email me to comment or if you have questions. Again, please accept my condolences.##imported-begin##Margaret##imported-end##

Dear Aunt Irene and family...I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Mel's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. I was so happy to have been able to see you all this summer at the Peterson family reunion. Lots of love, Bethany (cousin #29)##imported-begin##Bethany Metkovich##imported-end##

Our family is deeply saddened that Mel has passed. He was the closest living relative to my 4th great grandfather, Andrew Silas Treakle. Andrew was Mels grandfather, naturally the curosity of his life and what made him the person he is, made ripe for questions from a distant relative in CO! My sincere regrets to Irene and love to his extended family. Mel is deeply missed and cherished.

Aunt Irene and family,
I am so sorry for your great loss. I am very glad I was able to see Uncle Mel this summer at the reunion, while I was in the states. Please know that my family and I are thinking of you, and praying for you in this difficult time.
Love, Sharon##imported-begin##Sharon Shull##imported-end##

Ruth and I express our sympathies to Aunt Irene and Cousins Kandy, Kay Kay, John, and Karen. Mel has always been a favorite Uncle and he will be missed at the Peterson Family gatherings. I am sure you all knew that Mel only completed 1 year of high school when he enlisted for the military, Dec 15, 1943, just 3 months after I was born. By the way, he also lied about his age as he was only 18 yrs old. He told the military he was 19.##imported-begin##Ralph Brown##imported-end##
