My deepest sympathy to Melvin's family. He was a gentleman and a good friend. He taught me about reading labels on food packages and about being kind to everyone around you. I will miss you Melvin, rest in peace.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. This is such a difficult time to deal with because 1Corinthians 15:26 says that death is an enemy. We are not without hope though, at John 5:28,29 Jesus tells us, all those in the graves will hear his voice and come out. For more information, please visit jw.org
