So glad your suffering is over and you are resting in the arms of Jesus. I didn't know your first name was Melva until today. You have always been Mom or Vicki's Mom when you were with us girls in Laughlin. Rest in peace and know that Vicki will be watched over by God and her girlfriends will keep in touch. May the good Lord bless and keep you 'til we meet again and may your reunion with your husband be so very joyous.
Love,
Marlene Ruppert

Mom, some of the best things about you was your ability to laugh over the silly things, and your sense of adventure. Like when you asked a neighbors friend how it was to ride a chopper, he told you to hop on and you did. You came back saying it was fun, but you'd never do it again, and you didn't. Love you forever.

Sadly saying goodbye to a friend and neighbor. I have enjoyed knowing a kind, considerate and friendly lady. My condolences go out to her family. Rest in peace, Melva. Betty Gallimore, Phoenix.

I will always remember Aunt Melva and all the times we spent at her house for family gatherings and the summertimes at their trailer near Show Low. Her house was my first stop after entering this world. She will be fondly remembered and always missed. She now takes her place beside grandma, grandpa, Uncle Leonard, Kathy and daddy (Fred)-I will see you in heaven.
