Growing up, Ravenswood Road was the place and the Meliones house was the center of the world. Some may say there was a little bit of magic in the air those early years. I say it was people like Janet that made it all happen. Indeed, they were the Wonder Years. Janet, Nic, Poppy - your memories will live forever in my heart.

If you look up "sainted woman" in the dictionary a picture of Mrs Meliones would take the place of the definition.

So sorry for your loss. Mrs. Meliones was my gym teacher at Whittemore, and I will always remember her for being spunky and energetic. Be proud that she had an impact on her students and will be remembered fondly.
