Dad,
Missing you so much. I'm so grateful for all the time we shared and the many happy memories. You gave unconditional love; provided support and guidance and were the most wonderful father. You are always with me. Love, Kelly

Mel was a mentor, friend, fishing buddy, crabbing buddy and helped me so much at our beach house. He was supposed to grow old with us, but someone changed the plans. Life is very unfair sometimes with all the curve balls we are thrown along the way. Loved our happy hours together, cheering to crown rocks! Will miss you every day Melvin! Cheers till we see you on the other side.
