Clearly too short of a life for a beautiful individual who herself was so full of life. We had the chance to meet this wonderful human several time and she will truly be missed. Our prayers go out to her and her family. Melinda will be truly missed, but we should all feel blessed that she is now watching over all of us.

The shocking news came late to me and my family. We were neighbors of Mike and Melinda and the kids when we first moved here from Louisiana. My son attended school with Chloe' and the kids played together all the time. We lost contact with the family after we moved into our house, (where Mike helped us move in) and are really saddened by loss. Mike take care and thank ya'll so much for being wonderful friends. We are so, so very sorry for your (Mike and the kids) loss. Take Care

Although I've never actually had the privilege of meeting Melinda I do feel as if I've known personally. This is a very tragic ending to a wonderful life and incredible woman. My condolences to the family. Her courage and determination of trying to make the lives of her family secure once she was diagnosed and knew that her life would be cut short is testament to her strength of spirit. She will be missed but never forgotten.

My little sister! I will always remember the times we shared together growing up. You were so beautiful inside and out and your heart was as good as gold. Life here on earth will never be the same without you here. I promise to always look after my niece and nephews and to be there when they need their aunt. May you rest in heaven and save a special place for me. I will always love you and I will cherish the memories that I have. May you always look down and protect the ones you love.

My heart aches for your family. Chloe Bleu', Austan & Tristan, your Mother is a beautiful Angel in heaven watching over you with love.

She was a free spirit on earth with a smile that lit up a room! May the bond of love you closely shared comfort you always. Be proud that she was your Mother, admire her for being independent, strong and daring to reach out and touch her dreams of being a star and no matter what she encountered along the way she made it, she will always be a star, a celebrity, a centerfold, which she was

proud of as accomplishments but she told me of all the the things she did in this life,

" The greatest was being your Mother"
