For Mel

Donation protected
I need funding to bury my brother.
My precious brother Mel Jarrard. He passed away Tuesday, September 27, 2016 after suffering several years from Alzheimer's .
His funeral was prepaid by our Mother, but did not include burial
I am the only one left in the family I grew up with . Any amount will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I lost my husband in April 2014.
With the loss of these two very important men to me, my income has drastically decreased. And I have had one medical problem after another. My hospital bills have been many& my medication cost is unbelievable.
I have not been able to get ahead.

Mel was a wonderful unique person.
He lived next door on our property
for 10 years. When he was diagnosed with early on set Alzheimer's , he moved in with us. That was 6 years ago. He went to the nursing home in. It was much easier before I lost my husband. Mel had downe syndrome also, but was surprisingly healthy. He touched the lives of everyone he met. Was full of love for everyone.
He was smart & witty. He brought joy to our family & friends with his "Melisms", and creativity. He was faithful and deeply believed Jesus Christ was his Lord & Savior. And it wouldn't be a good idea to try and tell him different because "there's gonna be a lot of cussin around here"
He was a hard worker until he moved to Dale. Then he said he retired. Before the moved he had worked at the same McDonalds for 10+ years.
I have had many tell me what a wonderful influence on their lives.
I could spend hours telling Mel stories. Better stop here.
