Dear Sarah, Donna, Melton, Jr. and Darryl,

Don and I are at a loss to know what to say to ease your pain.

Sarah, I know I have told you this before but Melton Sr. was the only man that ever called us without a purpose other than to see how we were. He was and still is a very special soul and the two of you were perfect together.

Remember when the Sharing Group came out here on Saturday and stayed until Sunday? Don took the electroniic keyboard out on the back porch. You played and we all sang from the old hymnals. That's a church service I think I'll always remember.

May you be given the "Peace that passes all understanding" that is spoken about in the bible.

God bless you and much love,

Don and Joyce Jones
