Kin Melton was a sweet Christ Loving soul that will be sorely missed by us all , we all have our time and there are some that we would hope would never reach theirs , Kin was one of those that I believe many hoped would never depart from our midst here on the earth , I for one (Guy) enjoyed talking to Kin anytime I could , he was always a Joy to see and to speak with at any time , to be honest Kin was one that I and I am sure many looked forward to seeing and speaking with as he would always bring a smile to ones face through his conversation and that in my opinion is a gift that many do not possess .
I am so sorry that Kin is gone and mine and my entire family's sympathy goes out to all who held him dear ( which I believe is all who knew him! ).
I know it is hard especially for those who are his immediate family but I offer to all who are grieving that you consider and rejoice in the reality that Kin is in a much better place than we , and Kin would not like to see everyone in sorrow and grief but rejoicing his departure to be with the LORD !!!
Like my father Les Edwards , I am still sorry to this day he is gone , that I can not talk with him and such , but I rejoiced the day he left because I knew where he was going , and soon ( God's Time ) I will join him !!!!
Kin , you will always be in my thoughts and those you loved and loved you in my prayers .

GOD BLESS the Melton Family ,

Sincerely ,

The Edwards Family
