I am so very sad to hear of my sweet friend Melanie's passing. I thought of her several times on Tuesday thinking I needed to text her and go to lunch next week. I am in tears knowing that will never happen now. I am grateful that after many, many years of wondering where she was and what she was up to she came to me through her neighbor Nita Orgill. I feel blessed I was able to speak with her a few months ago and catch up on life but am so sad I never met with her in person. Her laugh is something no one could ever forget. So many wonderful memories that bring a mile to my face. My thoughts and prayers are with her family, especially her three kids. Melanie I know you are in a better place and that makes me happy for you. Hugs and kisses my dear friend.

This just breaks my heart. I was thinking about her just the other day. She was such a special part of my life, and such a sweet and loving caregiver for my son. He loved going to her house and she loved him as her own.
As so often in life we let too much time pass without telling those around us how much we love and care about them. I am so grateful that Melanie was a part of my life; she was always there when I needed her. I will always love and miss her beautiful smile and exuberant laughter, and of course the pizza & frozen yogurt feasts!
My love and condolences to all of her wonderful family

It was quite a shock to learn about Melanie's passing. We will miss this beautiful soul! She delighted us with her infectious laugh and the hope and faith she had, inspite of all the difficulties she endured. She was VERY dear to us!
May the Lord comfort her children, parents and sibblings. It gives us peace to know that finally her burdens have been lifted.
May Heavenly Father hold her close and keep a watch over her family. We love you Melanie, and always will!

With love,
