Gail & Family: So sorry to hear of Mel's passing. He was one of a kind; so were you. You were the absolutely most gorgeous and the absolutely funniest friend EVER. I know these qualities are still with you and passed down to your family members during this difficult time and beyond. Much love....

Gail: One of the highlights of our 50th Reunion was seeing you and Mel. It was as if we were back in 1960 again. I remember those wonderful spring afternoons at the baseball field watching Mel, Coach Dodge and the Tiger baseball players. We are thinking of you at this time and sending our love to you and your family. Love, Laurie Ruda Smith

Death is just a doorway. We shed tears of pain over the physical loss of loved ones and they grief with us. But death is just a doorway and when our time comes our loved ones will be there to greet us.
