Mrs. Melvin, Ann and Chris Cooke,
The loss of a loved one fills us with many emotions that run the gamut of grief to joy. In time the grief will subside but the joy for having known such a precious man lives forever. Mr. Melvin and I share a name and we were both proud to be "Christopher." I am a better man for having known him.
Forever Blessed,
Christopher and Krystal Turner and the Turner Family

Mr. Melvin was a practicular a perminent fixture in St. Philip's Church when I was growing up. I can't think of a single time when he wasn't smiling. I fondly remember him as a musical accomplice. I will miss his gentle nature. May God's grace and mercy be of comfort during this sorrowful time.
