Not sure what to say?

I sure miss you, hug Roy for me

I don't think I've ever read the obits but today just happened to open the paper to see Melba's picture. Melba and my grandma, Carol Lewis, were close friends and I am so sorry for your loss. Melba reached out to me after she died and was so terribly nice. I'm sad these ladies are both not here with us anymore.

Melba was so kind and supportive. She knew what it was like to be a caregiver and gave me encouragement. I will miss her

So many memories and so many good times, friends for 55 years. Today I am remembering all the New Years we brought in together. Sending you are love Denise,Mark and Ron.

Although we never got to meet Melba... we are blessed to have her Son, Ron, in our family now. We know that she had to have been an amazing woman by the way he turned out. We are so happy to have Ron as a part of our family and are so thankful that he has made our Niece, Crystal, so happy. We know that for a man to be as good as Ron he had to have had an amazing Mother. May she rest in peace, and may her memories be a blessing to all she leaves behind.

Melba was truly a wonderful person. Funny, smart, kind. My sincere condolences to her family. She will be missed. . May her memory be eternal.

We call you Wonder Woman we love and adore you. You were a true friend and an awesome neighbor. Our lives were filled with such fun adventures, I will miss our lunches and chats. Denise, Mark, Ron, and Polly may God bless and comfort you all.

Such a sweet and sassy lady . . .she will be missed. Sending many hugs . . .she left such a wonderful legacy behind.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Denise, Mark and Ron. Your mother was a beautiful woman and will be missed by all. I pray your memories will help to comfort you in this time of loss.
