“Mel was an avid Hunter, Fisherman, and Camper, his entire life. We know he has found his final fishing hole in the sky and is hunting in eternal fields, and for that, we are grateful. May his spirit roam wild and free.”
My Hunny Bunny, who was what I called him, had so many people that loved him. I will never be ready to say goodbye to my precious Melvin, but it sure makes it a little easier knowing how much he was loved. I love you My Mel Dianna Manning.
