I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Though it has been some time now I know from experience the pain can last for a long time. We learn to manage but it still hurts. May you find comfort in God and family.( 2Cor1:3,4; John 5:28,29)

Melvin as a member the first 5 grandchildren club, you were without a doubt the most colorful in everyway. You brought laughter and entertainment to all of us who knew you. Your Mom, Chenise, and your cousins will all miss your smile, your laugh...you. May GOD bless your soul.

My condolences in the loss of your beloved family member. During this difficult time we need comfort. The Bible offers beautiful words at Psalm 147:3; He (God) heals the brokenhearted;He binds up their wounds. Also Revelation 21:4 promise in the future; And he (God) will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. May these scriptures provide comfort for you during this time of bereavement.

I am so sorry for the loss of your son Melvin Sutherland. There are no words that can relieve the pain that you are feeling right now, but know that you are not alone as the prayers of all your friends and family surround you at this time.
As a parent myself, I can only imagine the intense anguish you must be feeling now. Losing a child is one of the most difficult experiences that you can face, but I hope someday the memories of Melvin will offer you comfort. I only hope that my words can bring forth a small portion of sympathy to you and your loving family. Please accept our deepest condolences from Myself, Del, Jacquie, Lamar, & Jaleesa. We are thinking of you and will keep you and your family in our prayers.
