Melinda, a wonderful and warm hearted person—always made you feel welcomed. I knew with Melinda and Fred, I was in good company. They both made sure you felt their graciousness. I've had the honor and privilege of knowing Melinda through Fred when Fred and I worked together at Code 3. Even though after Fred retired and they moved to Florida, I knew our bond had never changed.
The last time we were all together was in Orlando. We had a very enjoyable and memorable evening among friends.
I know Melinda is in a better place now. Still I will miss her charm and joyfulness. Melinda was one classy lady. I was glad to know her and be her friend.

Melinda was the best in everyway possible. I will miss the conversations we had and her infectious laugh. Soul mates are rare and you were blessed enough to have one.
Dani and I send our deepest sympathies and prayers for you and Stephanie.

I was so sorry to hear this. Mrs. Twichell was so sweet to reach out to our family several years ago when my father passed away, and it meant so much. I have many fond memories of your family and am thinking of you during this time.
