Theresa, Lisa and Conrad, I am so sorry for your loss of Melvin. He was a kind and gentle man and I’m sure he will be missed terribly by you all and many others. Sending much love to you at this dark time.
Theresa,
We were so shocked to hear of Melvin’s sudden passing. He will certainly be remembered as being a kind and gentle man with a great sense of humor. Our deepest condolences to you and your family on such a great loss. His kindness to us will always be remembered. God Bless you all.
Aunt Theresa, Lisa and Conrad, we are so saddened by the loss of Uncle Melvin. We are thinking of you all at this difficult time and our prayers are with you. We love you and will visit when we are home in a couple of weeks.
Rarely have I had an extended association with someone without finding reason to criticize. Such was my experience with Melvin and the reason I always respected him. As childhood classmates and later as teenage roommates, we indulged in activities that tickled our fancy and left us in stitches. We needed no prompting to reminisce each time our paths intersected.
Dear Theresa and family
I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Melvin’s sudden passing. Please accept my sincere condolences and prayers that you find strength and peace in the coming days

Dear Theresa,
I was very sadden to hear of Melvin’s sudden passing. I knew Melvin mostly on a professional level through Provincial Elections, especially the last one. We spent a lot of time strategizing and planning, I learned so much from him.
He spoke of his family with such pride and love, especially you Theresa. I would hope my husband talks of me like he did of you in 30 years time.
