Irene,
You may not remember me, but you took care of my mom, Doris Brauer, several years ago. (She passed away in 1998). We will be forever grateful to you for what you meant to her and how you helped us. I learned of your husband's passing from the newspaper. I am so sorry for your loss. He sounds like a wonderful man who will be greatly missed. I am sorry I didn't get to know him too. You are in my thought and prayers and will continue to be in the days to come. May you feel God's amazing peace surrounding you.

My favorite memory of Melvin was one of our many trips to the Pensacola revival. Melvin made my 1st trip such a fun exciting experience. I teased him about mixing his socks up after finding out Mrs. Irene had matched his socks with his shirts. We had many laughs about it. I cherish the memories of Melvin and will always remember him. Irene, my love and prayers for you now and all the days ahead. Thanks for sharing your husband with me. He will always be my buddy!
