Ed Mello Memorial Fund

Ed Mello was tragicaly taken from us on wednesday oct 30   Now we are trying to give him a decent farewell. Edward was a troubled soul but he was also a father and grandfather he leaves 5 children behind 3 daughters and 2 young sons and a grandson he was a kind soul.

I met Ed in High School he was funny and sweet he loved to ride his bike through the cayon and was always a friendly and smiling he was that long haired guy with no worries or cares in the world who had all the Metallica Tshirts  and a story to make you laugh 

He started Ed's mobile grooming service in the early 90s and we had our daughter Christina he was a dotting father  and she was his pride and joy . 
he groomed famous actors dogs and was coming up he was a gifted groomer and a sweet man 
we welcomed our daughter  isabella and married on 1/11/93 unfortunally a friend of his showed up and thats when the trouble began his friend was a drug addict and shared his dicease with Ed, he was never the same . soon he began to ignore his business  and was lost. 

he tried many times to clean up but the dicease was to much for him to deal with but he kept fighting.
he started over and started a new family having 2 beautiful boys. Unfortunally that didn't work out and soon he found himself alone.

Ed was always a dreamer a kind word a warm smile
he had his problems but he really tried to better himself and make us proud 

on wednesday oct 29 he suffered a gun shot that took his life and took his chances of ever living up to his potential. He was robbed of his life, instead of celebrating his daughters Birthday on oct 30 we found ourselves saddened by his sudden loss 

and now we want to give him a proper funeral and send off . We are not looking to do anything fancy but we would like to give him a proper memorial where his children can say good bye and his loved ones can see him one last time because he is loved above all he is loved by his Mother who will miss her only child by his children who where cheated of his presence his daughters won't have him to walk them down the isle and his sons wont have him to show them how to be proper men. he may not have been an ideal guy but he was the best he could be with the challenges he faced and tried to always  be a better person and he was always kind. His sudden departure was not his doing he was a victim of violence and did not deserve to leave this world under those circumstances. 

please donate to help us have a proper send off you would be giving relief to a family devastated by his loss
thank you so much
