My condolences to the family. Melvin and I attended the same high school, and we lived in the same neighborhood. We lost contact many years ago. Barbara, I remember when he met you, and told me about you. I’m sorry we lost contact, but my love for you and Melvin, never changed. I love you Barbara! Emily Harris
