Not sure what to say?

My sincere condolences go out to Melvin's family. Melvin was a childhood friend that I have known since first grade at Woodstock High School and later graduating together from Trezevant High School. I remember when Melvin first had this business idea and to see what it has becomed is amazing He will truly be missed by his friends and this city.

I met Melvin when we were both standing in line for a job at opening of Graceland in 1982. We both got the job as shuttle drivers. I told my friend back then he had the gift of gab. He could really talk. His employment ended at Graceland . What was meant for bad God meant for good. I watched his success for years and was always proud I knew him. God has him know. Praying for the family.God bless

The family of Melvin Bledsoe has my deepest sympathy. I met him years ago while attending a '''jus Blues" affair and his sincere warmth caused us to become friends. He was always kind, helpful, and demonstrated concern for others. He will be missed by many. R.I.P Melvin

Melvin, you will truly be missed. I am so glad for the opportunity to see you and talk to you at our last year's family reunion. That was the last time I saw you. I will wear those memories in my heart. May your soul rest in heaven.
