Oh, Melvin, how I wish we could have seen you one more time.
Melvin's mother and our mother were sisters.
I remember when you joined the Air Force and would stop by to see us in South Charleston. We were so proud of you. We used to talk in the phone and you always had so many interesting things to tell me about your life.
You made a point to stop by to see
Aunt Hannah,
(Our mother)
Time got away from us.
I just wish, I could have told you one more time that we loved you.
