Melvin Gaines

Missing you my Brother. Love you even in your physical absence. Stone.

I am sorry that I did not know of MEL passing away. For the times I knew Mel, my life was always uplifted. He touched many, many people by his presence here on earth. He was "a shining light" in a world that needs Light. Sincerely.

I was listening to Yolanda adams, that name. And was thinking about my dad and some of the people I met through him. My dad Mike Rabbitt was a deputy sheriff in Toledo. I trusted Melvin 100% he had my back in prayer as well as my dad and family. My dad also went home to be with Jesus. I just read today that Melvin is with the Lord. I am so sad. Knowing so many people I love are gone. I know they are in a better place. MELVIN you are the best. I knew you loved Jesus by the way you smiled and...

DAVID CAVANAUGH MY HEART IS WITH THE FAMILY AT THIS TIME OF SORROW. HE WAS MY FRIEND.

Toni, I don't have the words to express my sorrow for the loss of your husband. Mel was a friend whom I admired and was proud of for all he accomplished in life. To loose a spouse is absolutely the greatest burden one can encounter. Trust that the lord will pull you through.

Sorry for your loss...you will always be remembered for your love of family and football performance. Youwill be missed by all. R.I.P.

Melvin, I thank the Lord that you and I had a chance to talk on the phone just prior to Christmas. What a man of God you were and still are forever. You made a lasting impression on me as we talked about the Lord. Toni, my condolences to you and your family. May the Lord be with during these days ahead.

I will keep the family in prayer.

Toni & The Family of Melvin,
So sorry to hear about the passing of Melvin. But my spirit rejoices in knowing He was spiritually ready to transition home. In your grief know that joy will come again as you trust a "Faithful God". Praying for you fervently.
