To Harriet and the rest of the family. I just heard about Mel's passing. My deepest condolences go to you and the family. We shared many fun times together as neighbors on Norwood in our early married lives. Those are moments that are not forgotten. We live with the memories of the good times. May the good memories help in your great loss. Love, Ruth

Dear Aunt H, Teri, Tracy & Abby and the entire family, sending lots of love and hugs. We grew up like cousins and had such great times with your family. Picnics. dinners, vacations and parties. And always Brown's Chicken! Uncle Mel was always game and loved to laugh! We have such great memories. I hope they bring laughter and comfort to you all. Much love, and deepest condolences. Wish I could be there. Love, Franci (or "France" as Uncle Mel always called me!) xoxo
