Words cannot express the loss of my brother in law who showered my sister with love. You will forever be in our hearts. Melvin Jr, Clarie, Mark, Mario and Tamera

Melvin Veale Jr

We will miss your presence dearly, brother. Your spirit lingers warmly in our hearts.. Brother, you may be gone from our immediate sight, but you will never disappear from the depths of our hearts. Losing a sibling is missing the one person who you could truly be yourself with and I could always be myself with you. From the minute that we found each other, you and Cookie accepted me with open arms. I thank God for allowing us to find each other. Thank you for the time that we spent together, the time that you were there for me when no one else was. One of my fondest memories was when you surprised Cookie with her retirement party. What an awesome time we all had. That stands out in my heart because shortly after that you both retired to Georgia. Let's not forget when you found out I was a Washington fan, you gave me your #17 Doug Williams throwback jersey. I will cherish that forever. The love of a sibling is the most unconditional love, and that's how you loved Eddie. You loved everyone unconditionally. Thank you. The bond between a brother is never broken, even by death. I will miss you always. Your sister, Robin ❤️❤️❤️

Pops,

Thank you for the love, strength, and stability you brought into our lives.

You were also an incredible grandfather, the kind every child deserves. Your laughter, wisdom, and gentle presence left a lasting imprint on Ayanna's and Christian's hearts that will never fade. The love and joy you shared with them is a legacy they will carry forward with pride.

Losing you is a deep sorrow, but your memory lives on in the love you gave and the life you shared with us. I'll carry your presence with me always.

Rest peacefully. You will always be missed, and always remembered.

Love,

Your BabyGirl

Shericka
