Melda & I were Co workers for many years. We shared everything, stories, adventures, lunches, we all went to Ocean City for the weekend. That was the best time we ever had. I will miss her dearly, we had good times. We go to flee markets in Mt Airy, meet up with Nancy and have a ball. Love to Sue, will keep her in my prayers. Missed but not forgotten. LOVE ALWAYS

Melda was my first cousin and also my very close friend,She got her final wish from me and that was for my estranged daughter and I to be on speaking terms again. Thank you Melda... She was so happy to hear that news. I was not aware of her passing until this afternoon, I am heartbroken and will miss our talks she always made me smile and was such a sweetheart to everyone. I send my condolences to the rest of our family and all of her friends. With much love, Nancy.

To Melda's family and Sue-May God make your grief bearable and may you be assured that Melda was deeply loved and will be greatly missed. Melda always had an ear to listen, a hand to hold, and a heart to share because she was a friend who cared. I worked with her for many years and have nothing but good memories of the time we spent together. She was a patient teacher and a kind-hearted co-worker. I will miss her humor and humility. She was a kind and gentle lady. May happy memories carry you through this sorrowful time.

I will miss Melda and her sense of humor, her grace, her Southern Charm, her gentle wisdom, her laughter, and her positive attitude. She had a good heart and is forever precious. It was an honor to have crossed paths with her.

Melda's family and Sue - I extend my sincere and heartfelt sympathy. I worked with Melda at NSA for 30 years. She was a delight to work with and to know - the most even tempered person you could ever come in contact with. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
