My deepest condolences to the Meloni family. I am a big admirer of Christopher's acting and comedic skills. I lost my own father 11 years ago. From the entries here, it's clear Dr. Meloni was a talented, well-loved physician, friend, parent. May God comfort you as you mourn him.

I just heard about Dr Meloni's passing. I am so sorry for your loss! I had the pleasure of working with him at the Camp Hill VA clinic. Not only was he a great doctor to our veterans he was also a good friend to all the staff. May he rest in peace! God Bless!

Words cannot express the sorrow I feel for you all in your time of loss. Many of us have been at the same point at which you are right now. There are really no right words to say, but may time slowly allow you to see the spirit of this man in the eyes of the children and grand children, and in seeing this, may you find healing and comfort in the days to come.

I am deeply sorry for the loss you've endured but know one thing that is true. Your father isn't completely gone he's up in Heaven looking down on you with sheer pride and joy. He'd want you to be happy. He's one of God's angels now and he's there to protect you. He'll always be in your heart and always be there spiritually. Much Love

Dear Christopher, I know you don't know me but I wanted to offer my condolences on the passing of your father. I just lost my father in October after a lengthy illness and I know how dificult it is. Thinking of you and your family at this difficult time

Please accept the most sincere condolences and warm prayers from the Perez family. We never had the honor of meeting him, but your father left a great legacy in the form of his family. I see a very familiar spirit in his features and his expression. It's an influence that was clearly passed on to the Meloni's of DC who we are fortunate to call friends. You will all remain in our thoughts and prayers.
