Todd, Quinn and Tessa, I´m keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I know Melanie is missed so much by you and so many others. I loved her sense of humor and her love of life. She was always so happy. I especially enjoyed the nicknames she gave to staff, students and the Girls on the Run participants. She was a wonderful teacher and friend....,
