To the Beelen Family, Sending my condolences to you all. May the Lord comfort you at this time. Where can I begin, Melanie was known for her contagious smile and her sincere acts of kindness!

Now that was precious! What a message from her...

Melanie had a very special relationship with her dad. It gives me joy to think of them reunited together in Heaven along with my grandma/her dad as well!
