"Melvin" was my vivacious, fun-loving, generous, sensitive, and funny aunt with a huge heart! She was constantly thinking about what she could do to make others happy with her kindness and generosity. She always arrived with an abundance of delicious food and thoughtful gifts. Mel exuded a positive energy that lit up every room with friendship and goodwill toward everyone! She always made an effort to get people talking and laughing to make them feel welcome! She loved her rescued pets, animals, gardening, the beach in North Carolina, the Pennsylvania cabin, and large get togethers with family and friends. Mel was a Mom to many people and had many life long friends. She provided several people with a place to live when they came upon hard times. She loved volunteering in a soup kitchen and raising large funds for special children and the less fortunate. The joy that she brought so many will not be forgotten! Her life was a blessing to all who knew her.
