, CO Friday, February 19, 2010 I've always been proud to have been Melba's grandson. So much heritage to be grateful for. I'm also pleased beyond words that she surrendered her heart to a merciful Savior late in her life and that we will be enjoying His eternal gift of everlasting life together!Dean and Phyllis Bart
