We were so sorry to hear of Mel's passing. He was a sweet man and will be sadly missed by his family. It is a comfort to know that he knew Jesus and is now in glory with Him. We will continue to pray for the family as you deal with the loss of a dear man. God bless you.
I am saddened to hear of Mel's passing. My memories go back to the many hunting adventures with Mel, Ken, and Wes in the 1950's. The kindness and generosity of Mel and the entire Myllyla family will always be remembered.Donald J. Mac Donald, Mission Viejo, CA

To the family of Mel Myllyla,we are truly sorry for your loss, and our thoughts are with you in this sad time. We had only met Mel long ago, but know others in this wonderful family and we pray for strength to help you through. Your strong, loving family bond is such a sterling example for us all.

Mel, I could feel my heart just draw down when I heard of you going home so soon. It's just that so much time has gone since 1972 when I first brought the gravel out to your farm and you share your father and family with me. My father sent me out to your place and I remember him saying Jerry, your going to love these people. They kind of never leave your heart. And now that your home, you and your family will always be in our hearts.
May God's Peace be with you and your family in Christ OUR LORD AND SAVIOR. AMEN
Jerry
Dear Cubby, Nancy and Family,

To all the Myllyla family, our sympathy at this time. I got to know and work w/Melvin through the FSA office over the years and he was very pleasant to deal with. He was an inspiration to people how he still wanted to be active and attend functions when the rest of us would have probably stayed home in our little world.
Dear Nancy, Dennis, Ken, Flo, Barb (?) and all the rest of Mel's wonderful family.
My heart was saddened so when I heard of Mel's passing. When I was taking care of his mom Mel used to come in, out of the field, to check and see how his mom was doing. His words were always few, yet the love for his family was shown in everything. His words were soft and gentle, his laugh, catchie.
Mel was the kind of man you could look up to, one who could be trusted and always willing to help. I am sure he will be missed by so many. God never makes a mistake.....Mel is at peace, no more pain and the next time we see him there won't be a wheelchair......but that wonderful smile will be on his face and I am sure his arms will be open wide to hug each and everyone of you.......
I am sorry I cannot make it to the funeral or the viewing. My heart will be with you.....my prayers, and my love of the Myllyla family will be with you......and our "Jehovah-elohim".... God who made heaven and earth will be with you to comfort you and surrond you with his peace and love as only He can.
I send you all hugs kisses and love from the bottom of my heart .......Helen

I am so sorry to hear of Melvins passing.
I also will remember Mel like Richie as the fine man he was.
I am thankful for having the chance to work on the Myllyla farm in the summers and falls and the values those times instilled in me.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you, Mel will be greatly missed .
