MELVIN, when i think about you i think about "DAVID" the word says that he had a heart for "GOD" but David knew when to let go. He told GOD this problem is too great for me------ too vast, too heavy and too hurtful and GOD intervened! knowing he could not handle it alone. you did the right thing! much love, Mrs. Sally, NEW ORLEANS, LA
March 14, 2015
Mel, lets think and look toward the hill were our help comes from. I read about the word 'Humble" today its meaning is really a call to become like Jesus Christ in times of suffering. Humility is not a sign of weakness, instead it reflects a great and unending strength. much love TT, Texas
March 13, 2015
GM Jesus! Mel i am still praying and thinking about you new ETERNAL LIFE. WOW! you no we were always in competition be it pool, racing our bikes, m-cycles or swimming. you won again even through your \ our adversity we remembered 'Paul' . My grace is sufficient, that is God's promise. Stay Up!
March 12, 2015
Mel I was reading a book to day just like you open the only good book your BIBLE. This book has an interesting chapter. " Departing Instructions" you hit a few on the nail. 1. Know Jesus' name. 2. Heed Jesus' instructions. 3. Pray and last look for answered prayers, then be open to experience God's blessings. Have Fun! C.O.D.
March 12, 2015
Mel I was reminded today above all, Jesus wants us to know that we are servants of one another and of him. Oh do I pray and wish that we would no that and be blessed If you do them". Just as you tried your best to be a servant! Serve on Melly- MEL Holly Park, Algiers

March 10, 2015
Mel, I am so glad you and I know God because if we didn't you would not be up there with Jehovah God and I wouldn't be on my knees crying out to Jehovah God so much. It was good to have known you as a prayer partner! S.I.L.
March 10, 2015
Good morning Holy Master! The Great I am, King of King, Lamb of God, and The Great I am. Would you speak to your servant and tell him heaven is where I want to be also when the Holy Master sounds his trumpet for me. Tell Lola hello, I thought about you and her coke and cigarette and your drink and cigarette and the newspaper. Lol!

I have'nt seen Melvin in a long time now, but my heart is saddened to hear of his passing. Most of you that see this note do not know me, but I worked at the Schweggman supermarket gas station on Woodland in the 80's and melvin and I talked a lot. Time is so short, every day of sunshine and rain is so precious, moments together are beyound value, for we never know when a friend or a loved one or just someone you remember from the past will be gone. Farewell Melvin!
February 17, 2015
Mel you are a true angel. Much Love
