Though we never met, I feel I knew you. Your mother spoke of you all the time with great love in her heart. She spoke of your spirit, your strength and courage, and your love of life and family. Your familyβs sorrow right now is palpable and hard to bear, but in time, their memories of who you were will strengthen them and bring heartwarming smiles to their faces. Memories are like fine wines…they get better with age…and the cellar is always full. Rest In Peace Melvin.

My dearest cousin Joycelet, in this life God blesses us with tresures to bring our hearts happiness and joy.
Melvin was a rare treasure on loan to you and the family, but the Lord has gently retrieved His own to add to his eternal treasury.
May the memories you all shared, bring you comfort and gladness of heart. The loving hearts of your family members in Jamaica are reaching out across the miles and praying for your strength at this time.
