There was not a finer friend on this earth than brother Mel. His knowledge, wisdom, and understanding gave me assurance that he was the true and genuine man of God and one that a person could lean on. He will be missed down here but he is filling a vacancy in heaven today. My prayers to his family.

Dear family, so sorry for your tremendous loss….he was such a faithful, kind, and caring brother in Christ and we enjoyed seeing him each week and his singing. I don’t think there was a song he didn’t know! He sang specials at church until his health failed him.
You know where he is today and I know that he prayed and desires for each of you to meet him in heaven.
