To Tyshana and other members of Melvin's family- my thought and prayers are with you. Melvin was such a special person. His smile was light and given freely. I feel so fortunate to have known him and without him, I would not have been so blessed to know all of you. He will be forever in my heart, and my thoughts go out to you and his daughter always. Peace be with you.

I am sorry for your loss. I was a member of the Torch team that Melvin attended.
I had the opportunity to meet and visit with Melvin while he was at Logansport. I always enjoyed visiting with him, and he often talked about his family and daughter. You all were very special to him. I was with him the day he graduated from high school. I have some pictures of him in his cap and gown, I have attached one picture.
May God bless you and your family!
