I've grew up with Melvin in Dobbins Downs. He was a good and loyal friend. We would always share a laugh whenever we talked. I did some work on his Nova a few years back for him . Good guy.

I am praying to God to help me through this.I only spoke with him a week ago.We have talked almost daily,laughing and sharing like interests the past and present.I see him as a baby crawling holding on my knees wanting me to pick him up.His wedding with the only woman he ever loved. Cooking me smoked turkey and collard greens at his house.I look at my phone hoping I will see his call or text.Its very hard ..I am the oldest and this is my second sibling death came before me.He always wanted all of his siblings to be close.He always said it would take a death of one for all of us to be together. Lord I never knew it would be him.Hopefully he is in a better place and I hope to see him again one day.I love my brother and miss him dearly. He always keep me in the loop about what was happening with all my siblings because he didn't want me to worry.Deborah
