We who pass through life on this earth are knitted to one another as the strands hold an apron together. We may have hopes between the times we see one another yet the way we touched remains. We would be pleased if you would take a moment or two to recall the way Melvin touched your life. It might be a simple anecdote, a humorous happening or something incredibbly meaningful to you. Please mail or email these thoughts to us that we may prepare a booklet of such moments for all who would wish to recall this beloved gentleman.
