You will be missed Mel. You were the best neighbor. We love you Carole. Let us know if you need anything.
I am so saddened to find out of the passing of my cousin Melvin. When we all lived in Florida together, there weren’t too many times that the family wasn’t all together. Melvin was more of an uncle to me than a cousin (as he was my mom’s cousin) and he treated my son like one of his grandchildren. Although we have lived far apart for many years, and haven’t spoken for quite some time, he and Carole have always held a very special place in my heart. I love you both very much, and Melvin, you’re going to be missed. Until we meet again my cousin, may you rest in peace. Please give my mom a big hug for me.
