Dru Ann Boyd Click and I have been messaging back and forth, and we have bad news for our classmates at Westminster High School – especially the class of 1971. Melvin Warren Heartley, Sr., 63, of Falling Waters, passed away on Wednesday, March 29, 2017 at Berkeley Medical Center.

The obituary does not have a picture of Mel. Let me grab one from the yearbook….

According to Dru Ann Click, who attended the funeral, “Just got back from WV and the most unusual funeral ever - all Pink Floyd Songs. Total service was 10 min. Sang ‘Wish u were here’ at grave side. Family all had on Pink Floyd T shirts.”

You know that sounds like our class. Just saying….

(Chaplain Kevin Dayhoff) The Westminster High School Class of 1971 extends our sympathy and condolences to the friends, family and loved-ones of our classmate Mel. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this very difficult time.

Those we love don't go away. They walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed and very dear.

May memories of happy times sustain us, the support of family and friends comfort us, and may God's love embrace you and your family and bring you peace.

Praying for you and your family. So sorry for loss. You and the family are in our prayers. We are all singing:



Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.

Wish you were here.
