Dear Joanne and Family, I was so very sorry to hear of your terrible loss. Mel touched many lives, including all of us who worked at Sylvia's. We will miss his positive and reliable presence. I especially appreciate the personal interest he showed in others. In a world where many are self-absorbed, Mel stood out as one who thought about other people. Even though I was rarely the one who waited on him, he always greeted me and had something to say. Since he knew I take the Blackswoods Rd. on my commute to work, he would often ask me how my travel "through the woods" was that day. Sometimes, it wasn't very good. It was so nice feeling that he cared. As I now contemplate the way he treated others, I am inspired to try to be a little more like him. I find comfort in the promise at John 5:28, 29 where Christ said; "...the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs wil hear his voice and come out..." I have confidence that God has the power to undue all the grievous damage caused by death. I certainly hope you will find peace and comfort in the days ahead. Sincerely, Heather Tenan
