Family and friends,

As the one year milestone of Melvin's passing approaches, we still feel the sadness and great loss as though it was yesterday that we said goodbye to this beloved man.
As they say, find strength in your tears.
Remember Melvin for the great, courageous, and brilliant man that we all knew him to be. Hold on to the memories created with him, and do your best to never let them fade.

"I'd like the memory of me
to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an after glow
of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo
whispering softly down the ways,
of happy times and laughing times
and bright sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve,
to dry before the sun
of happy memories
that I leave when life is done."

My deepest sympathy to the family and of course, Chimo. It was such an honor working for Mel at Country Estates. He had a beautiful retirement facility for some amazing residents. He always told me I was a "women of many traits, and that it was such a pleasure seeing my smiling face daily" This is my final "thank you, sir" you will be missed by many.
