Words From His Wife:

“Through the two years we’ve been together we fulfilled our love with

a beautiful baby boy, and it is sad how my son won’t be able to see his

father again. But he will be in Heaven protecting us and watching over

us and his family. You will be missed very much!”

The Family of Eduardo “LaLo” Melendez with deepestgratitude, acknowledge all of the cards, prayers, calls and

many acts of kindness extended to them during this timeof bereavement. May God continue to bless you.

If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane.We would walk right up to

Heaven and bring you back again.

No farewell words were spoken, no time to say "Goodbye".You were gone before we knew it,

and only God knows why.

Our hearts still ache with sadness,and secret tears still flow.What it meant to love you -

No one can ever know.

But now we know you want us to mourn for you no more;To remember all the happy times

life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten, we pledge to you today~A hollowed place within our

hearts is where you'll always stay.
