RIP
One of the nicest and most genuine people I have ever met was laid to rest today. Starting in 1978, his daughter and I were classmates in first grade until after our freshman year in high school when my family moved away. Over those early years our parents became friends as well and continued to keep in touch. In fact they stayed in touch and got together even after she and I lost contact. Although he and I never had much individual interaction, her parents were always an important part of my family, whether directly or indirectly.
After talking with my former classmate today at the service and exchanging personal information, at the very least I hope to reestablish contact her her and hopefully keep her and her husband involved in my life.
Rest in peace, Paul Melton.
