My wife and I owe a great debt of graditude to sister Painter.When we were just new Christians,she was a great example of faith and hope in Christ.We know she prayed for us as we went to Bible college and into the pastoral ministry.Throughout life she withstood the many trials sent her way,but through it all she stood strong and unwavering.We were blessed just having known her.May God continue to bless her family by her memory.

I am very sorry to hear about the loss of Melba. She was truly a wonderful person. I will always remember the smile that she had and the encouragment that she gave me through my teenage years. I am sure that she is rejoicing with her husband now. My thoughts are with the entire family and friends.
