Mel was a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, serving in England. While there, he found and baptized my parents, Bill and Coleen Henley. We are now a 3rd generation family that continues to grow and prosper in the gospel. How can you possibly say thank you for that life altering event.
Once I moved to USA in 1983, after marrying my sweetheart I knew I HAD to come and meet the man who baptized my parents. It took many years, as I then had my own growing family. But I will NEVER forget the love and joy I felt when we finally met Mel and Sandy a few years ago. The love that they showed us was like they had known us for ever. Mel kept his journals from his mission and showed them to us while we were there. His stories of my parents kept us laughing.
I KNOW that Mel and my Mum had a joyous reunion upon his passing.
I will FOREVER be grateful for his dedicated service. I wish we could be there to say our goodbyes in person, so until we meet again, know we love you.
