To the Green and Roney Family,
I send my condolences, and may God be with you, Melvin was a angel, and God need all his angels with him, so Melvin is in a very good place where he is needed, his work on earth is done, but you will see him again. May God Bless you all.

Dearest Green Family,
I worked with Melvin at Hyundai once upon a time. He was the kindest, most caring "giant" I knew. He spoke so fondly of his boys and wife. He was a proud husband, father, brother, son, uncle and friend. I will miss his grin, his hellos and even some of his silly jokes.
If there is anything you need, do not hesitate to call. Hold your faith tight, shout to the Lord and He will comfort you. God Bless your family. You will continue to be in my heart and in my prayers.

To The Richardson Family
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Hey Melvin it's Lyn, I just want to tell you I love you and miss you so much already. Words cant explain the pain that myself as well as the family feels now that you are gone. I know that you are in a better place now but with even knowing that it still makes it hard to bare the fact that you are not here to make me laugh, smile, or even make me mad. Im so hurt I have tears in my eyes right now I just cant come to face the fact that my Big Cousin is gone. I love you Melvin but im sure you already know.
