mom2dachs Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 This saddens my heart as Sister Melva was such a sweet and loving Lady with the voice of an Angel. She touched so many lives with her testimony and in song. There is comfort in knowing she is no longer in pain and is now singing in the Lord's Choir. I've been posting on Eddie and Shannon's FB pages for the past week or so and keeping up with Sister Melva. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with the family. Sending love and condolences.
