Greetings. I'm sorry I couldn't make the funeral since I was out of town in South Dakota. When Linda, then later Mom, told me the news, I was heartbroken. Although I knew he was ill, I was still surprised to hear the news.
As always, you all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Cousins,
Auntie Puddn' called last night (8/5/09)and broke the news. It's a bit too late now, but I have been seeing some of you around (at uncle bobby's birthday celebration) for instance. Honestly, I have been quite busy here lately and that's not an excuse, but all of you been in my thoughts. First Aunt Geraldine now Uncle Melvin. They ARE with GOD, that I know for sure. My family prayers, thoughts and blessings go out to each and everyone of you....Cerelda, Keith, Adrianne, Sheila, Brenda..and the rest of the family. Love you ALL.
