Barbara & Mark, we've all known each other for well over 30 years and words cannot express the sadness, emptiness in the heart, and that constant "something's missing" since Melanie has passed. Please know that I'm here for you. Luv y'all.

Where to start! Everywhere I look I see something that reminds me of you. Every thought in preparing for your physical "goodbye"is how to make it perfect for you. My world is less because you are not in it but I do have another guardian angel. I still hear your voice, your laugh, and will always remember all of the good times." Todd " misses you most (15 year inside joke), I in no way could write this with out mentioning that! I love you Mel and I remember the first time you called me "Bro-lo"! I bet it's beautiful there. Save me a seat at the Sushi bar!

Melanie, my beautiful cousin Melanie! this hurts so bad, but I keep telling myself that you are in a better place and are suffering no more. Though you are gone honey, memories remain forever. From the things we did and said as kids to the things we did and said as adults. Lord know we had some good laughs. I will miss you, and you will always remain close and dear to my heart, but God had other plans for you. I pray for peace and comfort for Mark and Barbara as they go through these difficult times. May God comfort you in each and every way. Though times are dim right now, hold on to those memories of our Melanie and know she is shining down on us all. Until we meet again Cuz, fly high, sing loud and dance those golden streets of Heaven! I love you!!!
