Melanie A. Burns

Ten, Oh my goodness ten years, a decade since I've heard your laughter and seen your gorgeous smile, since I looked deep into your eyes and held your hand. Our plans were tragically cut short. However, I have continued to live life to the fullest possible despite multiple medical issues. I feel you had a hand in finding me a new love, a new partner. I feel that you brought us together and your selflessness has provided Heather and me a world of love and happiness, filled with friends,...

Oh my goodness! It's nine years since my dear wife, Mel, passed away. She was so young. I miss her everyday. With the light of her sprit, she lit up every room she entered, and she lit my life. I miss her physical presence terribly, but she is always with me in sprit and she has helped me move on in this world. I love you and always will.

My dearest love, another year has passed, and I miss you so very much. This was the worst year in some regards and curiously the best in other. During this pandemic, which is still ongoing, I felt alone. The feeling was only amplified by my efforts to share a home. However, my art is being admmired, not only on Facebook, but in the D'Amour Museum of Fine Art, the Berkshire County District Attorney's Office, in several private homes, and soon will be on an album or...

Dear Mel, I cannot believe you've been gone five years. I think of you everyday. On your birthday this year, of your last birthday. You were sick, but we didn't know you had only fifteen days left on this earth with me.

I am not alone though. I was so fortunate to find another...

Dear Fred,
I am heartbroken to hear of Mel's passing. She was indeed a ray of sunshine and I will miss her and the laughs we often had when she came in. My wish for you is the warmth that comes from good memories, of which I'm sure you have many.

Fred,
We are so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Please accept my condolences on the passing of Melanie. I met her at Cathedral High School and have fond memories.

You have my deepest sympathy. Though I never met your love, when you talked about her your face brightened; it seems like the two of you shared something very special. In what you shared in this life, remember Love is stronger than death and I have no doubt your love for her and God's love for her will comfort you in this time of your loss. You and your family remain in my prayers.

Dear Fred, So sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved Mel. As a husband, you did everything a husband could do to make her feel cherished and loved. As a couple you were truly made for each other. Please accept my condolences and prayers. Love, Colleen Martin
