I always wished to reunite and talk over coffee like we did in her class. Our talks stayed with me and shes never left my heart. I love and miss you ms. Plesh. Now that I know you are free I will be seeking your counsel. Thank you for everything you are.

Prayers to comfort those mourning the loss of such an incredible woman. I've known Melanie since the 1970s and can't recall her ever not having that "glass half full" attitude. She was an inspiration to so many throughout her careers as evidenced by the Guest Book entries. The world is a little less bright without Melanie but the fond memories are plentiful. R.I.P. my dear friend. Love.

You were the first person ever to make me feel less alone in the world. The first person that showed me my feelings were real. The first person to show interest in my future and the first person that made me believe in myself and my capabilities. I was only in 9th grade. You did all of that. I'm pretty sure that makes you my hero.
