Mel ... You are Amazing! You came into our lives when we needed you the most. You not only provided the tools, but the knowledge for me to stand on my own & not to rely on others for my own success and happiness. You taught me the value of integrity, hard work, self worth & to take pride in everything I did. You were my father, my confidant, my mentor & sometimes my partner in crime, but mostly you were my friend. Not a day will go by that I don't think of you or implement something I learned from you. You will forever hold an important place in my heart and the hearts of everyone you touched. ......UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.... I Salute You !!! God Speed
