Melba was our neighbor and dear friend for several years in Midway. She was a great example of enduring to the end by continuing to learn, grow, experience, and share. What an optimistic outlook she had on life and living it to the fullest. She was a "ray of sunshine" to so many and treated everyone with love and respect. Please know of our sympathy in the loss of Melba. We have the greatest respect and love for her.

What a great lady. We truly enjoyed associating with her.

Aunt Melba was a dear sweet woman. I know her Sister and My Grandma," Mary Larsen" loved her and always told me stories of when they where young. Melba's kindness was apparent every time you spoke to her. I am glad that she is with the rest of the twevle, I hope they have a prize for her living the longest, and her parents. Ty Larsen
