Ms Mary Skinner thought of Melba as a great friend. She always made sure Mary had her church literature and would not miss reading the lesson even if she couldn't be there. She was ever so thoughtful to send copies of newspaper articles that talked about David and his family. She was so sweet and kind and is missed.
Love, Peaches
