I am saddened by the loss of Mel. She and I graduated from Horseheads High School together. She was a nice girl. My prayers go out to her husband and her children as well as her whole family. May you look to God to help you all through a very difficult time. I can relate to her children because I lost my Mom at a young age too. I am sorry to hear of her passing and please ask God to help you through. Colleen (Hicks) Pariso Class of 1990 HHDS
