Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

Melvin was one of the sweetest and nicest men I know. He was such a hard worker and took such pride in his work. I don't guess I'll ever look at my yard or car without thinking of him. I'm sorry I missed the family at the funeral home. I got there at 4:00 and they said viewing was from 2 to 4. They did let me in to say goodbye. I'll miss him as I know you will. I'm so sorry for your lose. Joy

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
