My favorite memory was he was the most amazing Pastor with Marilyn on the Organ, for a very large congregation but Saturdays he mowed the lawn with his teenage boys ! I loved also his Wednesday nights and how he would have the preview prayer for Wednesday night at noon. I have never seen a pastor do that and he had the best prayer time with singing "someone is praying for you" When my daughter Nancy was born, he did her baby dedication and his Daughter who was a college student came to the house for a visit. What an Amazing Ministering family- Barbara Pryor, California

I appreciated Brother Mellish so much and will miss him. We had him scheduled for revival this coming Spring. He now rejoices in God's glorious presence.

Pastor Mellish was a mentor from afar. I watched his ministry and tried to absorb his love for his people and the vision he had for his church. He was a hero to me. Rev Jack McCormick

Marilyn my heart is with you. I remember you and Jim from the Muskegon, MI church some 50 years ago. I was a friend of Pauline Mellish Spray for many years and have watched your ministry at Warren Woods. Blessings to you both for a long and faithful ministry. God hold you through these times very close until you meet again.

From days even before Warren Woods memories come back about how a young preacher influenced a young Wi.teen to consider a call into the ministry. I thank God for men like Pastor Mellish.

Pastor Mellish, the man, pastor, and Brother will always be cherished in the Trocchio family. He played a big part in leading me, Joe, to Christ over 20 years ago. He was bold, had a good heart and ran a great race.

What a kind and loving family man. He always want to remember everyone by name and when he spoke of his family members it touched your heart. With his love he has touched everyone in our family and left an imprint. I pray that you find comfort in our Lord and all that love Pastor Mellish.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Marilyn and the family. We heard Pastor speak just shortly before he was diagnosed at Warrington Church of the Nazarene near New Castle, Indiana. There were probably 30 people in that small church, but he preached like it was 10,000! He was a great, Godly man. Love, Mendon and Judith Conley
