Uncle Melvin i will miss you. I can remember the last time we spent time together, was at the Athey reunion when i said uncle Melvin ,Why do you have that cane with you it not touch the ground. And you say girl you crazy.And then you put that pretty smile on your face the one i will never forget. So when you look down on all of use i know you will have that smile on your face.You and my son are looking down on me and i will give you both something to smile about. I will miss you. Just another angel up there looking down on use.
