Mechia and I worked the same shift. We often times came in right around the same time and whoever was here first we would ask have you made the coffee yet? Mechia will truly be missed, she was my prayer warrior, my advisor, and my mentor. To the Smith family, I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

There are no words that could sooth your aching hearts, only know that God has called one of his Angels home. It was a pleasure to know Mrs. Mechia she was loving, kind and always in good spirit. Our last conversation was about one of our favorite things shoes. We browsed thru the shoe collection picking out the shoes that we simply had to have. Just to remember her spirit brings a smile to my face. May God put his angels around you all and give you strength to make it through this very difficult time. I will keep you all in my prayers.

My condolences goes out to the Smith family, loved ones, and friends. Mechia loved her family more than she loved herself. I worked with Mechia in the Delta Skymiles Dept. and her spirit was religious, ambitious, and strongly determined to achieve greatness. Mechia gave 100% from praising God to loving her family. Pictures, nor words cannot express her feelings towards her family. God realized a job well done and she has gone to claim her reward. Meanwhile family, your heart is sad because she is not physically in a place you cant see, but her love and presence will remain in all of our hearts that we can feel. A loving wife, mother, sister, and friend. We miss you Mechia!

I worked with Mechia in the SkyMiles department back in 1997-98, and remained in touch even after we left the area. I was so happy this past year when our career paths crossed again and we found ourselves working on the same floor. I always enjoyed bumping into her in the hallways and sharing our good news. When I spoke with her for what would be the last time just a few days ago, she seemed so joyful and happy, especially for her daughter of whom she was so very proud. You were her light, and I know you will all miss her deeply, as will those of us at Delta whom she touched daily.

My condolences and prayers go out to Mechia's family. I had the privilege of working directly with Mechia for several years at Delta. The quality I always admired most in Mechia was her warm, friendly, and gracious nature. Even during the stress of the day, she never let that affect how she treated her coworkers. I know I speak for many of her coworkers and friends at Delta when I say she will be truly, truly missed.

Sincerely,
