I met Melanie when I worked at CTN. I always looked forward to seeing her bright smiles and hearing her jokes and laughter! I actually ran into Melanie just a couple of months ago and I was so happy to see her smile again! She will be deeply missed and her joyful spirit will never be forgotten. May she rest in peace.

An angel on earth...now an angel in heaven! I have fond memories of Melanie in my preschool classroom. Even as a four-year-old, she had a perpetual smile. My heart goes out to her loving family.
