To Melvin’s family, My deepest condolences on the passing of Melvin. Can’t remember when it was the first time I knew him as it seems all my life. This is the sadness of life things do not stay the same. God be with you and give you comfort.
I’m so happy my Mom and I saw Uncle Melvin and you all earlier this year. Our visit with Uncle Melvin was short although he was determined to get out of bed to see us. 🙂 I really enjoyed the time and visit with you Aunt Ruby. My memories of him will always be of his kind heart. I’m sure my Grandparents (Eddie & Nancy) greeted him with open arms. Sending love and prayers. Kelly (Farquhar) Shaw, Bev’s daughter.
