Dear Upty-
I was so very sorry to learn that Mel has gone.
He was a kind, thoughtful and affectionate man, someone you were always glad to see.
These past few years must have been very hard for you both. Please take very good care of yourself as you move forward.
I'm thinking of you both with love,
Thalassa
