Grandma was such a beautiful, kind and gracious woman. She was very special and I was blessed and grateful to have known her. Thank you for sharing her with me. She was wonderfully caring and sweet, and loved her family and The Lord with all of her heart. I will always remember her as "sweet & petite", and always doling out the love... She will be greatly missed, but always loved. My heartfelt sympathies go out to all of you. -Nicole

Grandma Mel, you showed what "love" is to everyone you came into contact with, always with that beautiful smile of yours. You have always been a great example of strength, love and devotion inspiring others through your faith... I love you and will always have you in my heart. Thank you for being the best Grammy to my children Kyle & Jake. xoxo
