Michelle and family. So sad to hear this news. Many fond memories of year gone by. See you later Mel!
We had such a wonderful time getting to know Mel…& then you too Michele through the River Falls Community Theater. He was a top knotch actor and such a helping hand to the group. Deepest condolences to you and all his loved ones 🙏
I am so sorry for your loss. I could always tell how much you were in love by the way you looked at each other. You both were always smiling.
My fellow actor, you let me slap you around on stage in The One That Got Away and The Christmas Cafe. So grateful for all you did backstage in Marvin’s Room. I will miss, “Your killing it kid.” I will miss you. Thank you Michelle for the strong support you gave all of us during performances. I am so sorry for your loss. Uplifting you and your family in prayer. Much love ❤️

Michele and family so sorry to hear of Mel’s passing. We worked together for over twenty five years and I have fond memories of he and you at various events.
Mel became a father figure to me growing up on the River. I’ll forever be grateful for that time. He was a kind and loving man.
It’s so true about the love between you two. Always looked so in love. So sorry for your loss.
