Naomi,
I’m sorry for your sadness, which is understandable when loosing a mate who you shared most of your life with.
Being a reserved man who shied away from the social light, I am honored that he as well as you were comfortable in coming to my home and sharing the holidays with me and my family over the past few years.
Now, God has invited Melvin to His home to celebrate a feast only prepared in heaven and served at the table of eternal life.
Love,
Emelie
