We may grow apart as adults but I have fond memories of our friendship as school girls in primary and then later in high school. Melanie was always smiling and loved life. My thoughts are with her husband, daughters and family. Fly high with the angels and watch over your family.

May perpetual light shine for evermore upon her

Dearest Scott, Emma and Sophie. For once, I cannot find the words. . How do I express my sadness at the loss of your beautiful wife, friend and mother? As you said at the wedding, you are surrounded by Angels. And now Mel is your very own Angel looking over and after you all.
