Clifford Lamont Melton

I miss you daddy.. I love you ❤

I think about often, especially during the month of July since we all have birthdays within a 7 day spur. I miss your smile and your energy. I know you love God and your family. The girls are looking good and growing into mature ladies. I know that they miss their dad and I miss my cousin. Love ya, Tina.

God bless you

Michelle and Young Ladies,

God bless you. Only God knows what to say for such a time as this. May God's WORD comfort and guide you through the days ahead. Knowing Cliff is at home and peace with God no more pain. But his physical presence will be missed by his family and friends who love him. Young ladies you have been trained well in the way to go. Beautiful young ladies continue to make your (mom) daddy proud and keep that big smile on his face as he watches over you all forever from heaven. We know words may not change your hearts hurt right now but hopefully they will help heal your hearts over time. Michelle, Lydia, Lynda, LyAna and Lynora God loves you all more than life. Trust Him to help each of you handle this in His own way. He will be with you to see you through. We are praying with you and for you.
With God's love
Marvin, Kym, Angel and Wisdom

To Michelle and Girls, We were saddend to learn of Cliff's death. We are praying for your comfort and strength during this difficult time. Keep his memories alive.

To Clifford's daughters: Although I did not meet you personally, I learned of you thru Clifford and how proud he was of each of you while working with him at The Bode Technology Group in Lorton, VA.

My heartfelt sympathy and prayers go out to you - Michelle - and your beautiful daughters, along with Clifford's other family members and close friends.

May God continue to bless you all.

Never stop loving/trusting Him & His Word...Even when we don't understand, don't be anxious/afraid...because God's got it! He's promised us peace that surpasses all understanding. And His perfect love casts out all fear.Stand strong, because of who you are in Christ! Be encouraged/comforted in the knowledge that both your Heavenly Father & your (earthly) father love you and are with you always. MUCH LOVE & BLESSINGS!

To All,

Clifford has been deeply missed by his fellow co-workers here at Bode Technology Group. He became a very good friend to me, and as we had our personal talks he spoke of his girls, and family often, and always glowed when he did so.

God will lift you all through this difficult time and I have said a special prayer that my Daddy look out for him, they would get along wonderfully.

God Bless each of you.

To Michelle and the girls,
This stings a little but I know God's got him. My prayers are with the girls and that they continue to be strengthened through their father's angels. Michelle, I also pray that your shoulders remain strong enough to hold their heads and tears as well.

Love,
Rick Chandler (the bass guitar man)

Michelle and Girls,
My prayers and thoughts are with you. If we can serve you in any way at this time, you know I am here. May the peace and comfort of Almighty God keep you. Love you. Delores McGruder

Michelle & Girls;

We are deeply sorry for your loss. Know that our family is praying for you all.

May God bless you & comfort you in the days to come.

Sincerely,

Dwight & Jennifer Jones & Family

Michelle and Girls:

I met you when you were at Church of the Great Commission -- seeing the girls growing up, I saw the love, care, and discipline you showed -- especially your love for God. Just know that you are in our prayers for peace, strength, and perseverance. The Lord will get you through these trying and difficult times and remember "He will never leave you nor forsake you."

Love and Blessings.

The relationship between a father and his daughters is not one that can be taken lightly. A father represents the "first" relationship a daugther has with a man. Fathers are never perfect, but work at perfecting what they have so that they can give their all to their daughters. Fathers dote on their daugthers, develop their daughters and are dedicated to being the example of a man that they can use as a measuring stick for relationships that they will one day develop.
Cliff left a tremendous deposit in his daughters. He deposited love. He deposited the importance of dedication. He deposited the necessity of determination. Those are the qualities that will benefit them as they grow into the women that not only reflect the love of their father, but also the love of their Heavenly Father.
Our prayers are with you (as they are continually) as you go through your loss. I once herad a Preacher say, "Death is an itch - that only God can scratch." Let God scratch your itch and in time you will know the relief of being in reationship with Him. We trust and believe that God knows well beyond what we can see and our faith is in Him.

With Love Our Love,
The Williams Family

It hurts a lot to know this of him. I can say Cliff was not only my 1st cousin, but he was like a brother. All of us grew up like brothers and sisters.

Unlike most families our moms (his mother, Gail and her sister's) taught us to be there for one another, no matter what. Cliff had a good heart. And to me he still do. You may see his ashes, but I hear his voice and see his spirit.

When I look at Janai (my daughter), I can remeber him standing their as she sat on his feet and held on to his leg, when she was one and two years old. After Janai was born, Clifford and Percy was the first two males that truely watced over Janai, as their own.

I thank god for that, being that the only persons that showed true love towards Janai next to me, was our grandmother (Anna LaMarr), his Aunt Jonetta (my mom) and Myra (our Aunt.)

Cliff was a computer geek. He had a lot of faith in me growing up during my 16 years of having Epileptic Seizures. He even showed me some of his trades, secrets and talents.

That's how I learned to work on the computers without reading materials. I also learned how to draw, build animated characters on the computer using Power Point, Adobe, Paint and some others. Along with adding software and hardware.

Thanks to him I can also use any new software that comes out, without any questions or doubt.

Thanks to him, I’m self teaching with his instilled knowledge on any piece of technology including cable wire’s, DVD’s, and VCR’s, etc.

Through him and my mother, I learned to be me and ignore those that pre-judge me, before learning about me from me. I also learned to make my bed, fold my clothing and neatness, so that a quarter can bounce off my bed through him and my high school military courses.

Now that he has moved on with answered prayer's, that are no longer unanswered. I will still call for his help through his spirit in the name of Jesus Christ.

I like to say this to Michelle and the girls: Stay strong and thank God. Call for him during any time of need. Don't ever think that he's never in your place. Believe in the angels of Christ and know that cliff had great faith and capabilities.

Last and not least, I like to say thank you to Robert Johnson and
Marian Melton for being there during his preparations for healings and prosperity.

We send our love to all of you, LaShonta and Janai.

To My Charm Girls:
God is always with you and we will love you always. Be strong, and by the power of His might you can and will make it.

Auntie Loves You!

To my girls,

I love you and thank God for you everyday. I know this is a rough time for you, but you have made me proud. I see the Word of God rising up within you, giving you the strength you need to get through. As your daddy would say "cry when you wanna, but remember that God is always with you and He loves you more than me!"

This moment in time is the doorway to your next level in life. Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might and in all that you do, glorify God. In this, your daddy will be honored.

O.k., now that I have said all the right stuff . . . eyeball & blue star :)

I love you, I love you, I love you . . .

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
