GOD bless you grandpa Melvin. I am so happy Brian and I were able to visit a couple times in August. His eyes lit up and the first words out his mouth were, "BOYS you came to see your grandpa!" He recognized us and was thrilled to sit and talk. We hugged, laughed, cried and talked ball games. He never missed our games growing up and I share his legacy to everyone I come across. I miss him dearly, but I know he is no longer alone and in much better health. My only concern is if heaven has a ball field for him to catch a game or two! Love, Jeremy Reneau
