> Mel was an uncommon person who touched so many people with grace, humor and thought. It was so evident how much he loved his daughters, grandchildren and his extended family. I felt privileged to feel his warmth and share many wonderful holiday celebrations with both Sarabelle and Mel. It is very hard for me to separate the two as they were so much a part of each other. What a wonderful role model for a family, parents and grandparents.
>From experience of losing my own Dad, I know time will convert today's sadness into pride and comfort knowing the love Mel and Sarabelle shared with their daughters and each other.
> The loss of Mel Fishman cannot be replaced, but the memory of him will endure as long as those who knew him grace this good earth.
