Dr. Melvin, truly you WILL be missed. The wisdom, the laughs, the advice and the prayers will certainly be missed! You were such a wonderful person who stood firmly by what you believed and with that same passion you served the Kingdom. No one will EVER be able to replace you but I will cherish the relationship we had for the rest of my life.
Love and Miss you!!!!!
