I am so sorry I wasn't able to make it to Melanie's service to meet you all, as I heard a lot about you in the three years I worked with Melanie at Partners+simons, especially the couple of years we worked side-by-side in the traffic department. Melanie was a very smart, sweet woman. I remember her talking passionately at the time about a few things in particular: Israel, Jeremy, and rock music. She had a light heart and an admirable cheerful perspective on life. I will remember her fondly. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Jeremy and Tyler - Although Melanie was only our neighbor for a few short years, I knew her from Partners & simons. We chatted at the PHCA Block Party in September and it's unimaginable that she is no longer with us. She will be missed on Bridle Path Circle. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. Our deepest condolences to you and her family.
