Rest In Peace Miss Melvina! Family....I have fond memories of your mother growing up in Desire. We were so happy as children and it was because we had a whole village of strong resourceful mothers just like Miss Melvina! When I heard of her passing I mentally went through my memory bank.....recalling every single apartment - - - and realized that Miss Melvina was the very last Mama from our era standing! Tell me God won't do it! I will keep yawl in my prayers. Family please hold on to Matthew 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Love you all.....Sheila, Arlene, Carole, Freddie and Jules!
