Dear Kendra, Jared and Boiteau Family: We are sorry to hear that such an important person in your lives and family has died. It seems like yesterday that little Kendra and Jared were in the back seat of their mom's car coming to visit their grandmother on Highland Avenue. We remember how excited Melanie was when she was moving to a new place with a fresh start. May those good memories bring you comfort. May God bless you, Kendra and Jared. We will be thinking of you and wishing you the best. Your Neighbors, The Whites
