Although I did not know Mr. Melia, I read many stories in the Ledger about what a devoted grandfather he was as well as greatgrandfather. What a courageous man to have fought so hard in the name of his family to change the laws and possibly prevent another tragedy. His name will live on as well as the work he did. Your family is in my prayers.
