My sincere condolences to the family for the loss of your loved one. May you find comfort from God, the hearer of prayer....Psalms 145:17,18

April 25, 2018

Mel was my dear friend, loving husband,and proud father. As a Marine, myself, I know what the Corps meant to him; and his duty is not over even in death. As the last verse of the Marine Corps Hymn Reads "If the Army and the Navy Ever look on Heaven's scenes; They will find the streets are guarded By United States Marines."
Our Supreme Commander has summoned Mel home, and now it is his privilege to guard those Heavenly Streets for all Eternity.
Semper Fi, Mel
