I am sorry for your loss. He was a wonderfull and entertaining teacher. He helped me find my love for numbers. He will always be remembered. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I’m heartbroken to hear of Mel’s passing. We knew he was ill but didn’t know how ill he was. If we had known we would have tried to be of some assistance to the family. We loved this sweet Christian man. He was an asset to our Gideon ministry and a wonderful friend.. Brenda, if we can help in anyway, please let us know. We love you and pray God is walking with you and comforting you.
I remember when I met Mel and Brenda for the first time and I enjoyed having many Gideon meetings and meals together. He was our Chaplin for three years and did a great job. He was a great example of what a Christian should be. I really loved his closing prayers, sometimes I wished I could have copyrighted them. These are memorable to me. Brenda, we are praying for God to be at your side all of the way through this time in your life, if you need anything, please don’t hesitate to let us know. Love you always
Brenda and family, We just wanted to says few words about Mel. He was always so friendly and such a genuine person. Terry says Mel made him an honorary member of the Maverick Sunday School class. ???? Terry thought that was so neat and so did I considering daddy, Grady Farmer, was a member of that same Sunday school class. Mel was a wonderful Christian man. I’m sure he’s enjoying his new home in Heaven. Love ya, Terry and Fonda ????????????????????????????????
