To Melvin's Family,
Let me start by saying I loved Melvin like a brother. He was like a loveable teddy bear that you could always depend on. He was quiet, kind, and slow to anger. He would help you when others wouldn't. No matter when I would run into Melvin, he was the same; always smiling and joking. I am going to miss him so much, but we know where he resides now--in the arms of our Lord and Saviour. Ms. Irby, Charles, Juan and the rest of the family you have my deepest sympathy.

To the Irby family, You are in my prayers as Melvin was a kind and gentle soul and you could not ask for a better person. He will be missed by all who met him. I know your memories of him will substain you. My prayers are with you always as you continue to keep his memory in your heart. May God Bless and keep you.
