Dear Gary, Chris, Hayley, Matt, and Emily,
I was so saddened yesterday when Rob informed me of Melinda's passing. I know it is a very difficult time and there are no words to express the grief. My prayer for you is comfort and peace. I think back on those visits you all made when you came to Florida and I smile. I always thought to myself "I hope I am as good a Mother as Melinsa is". She was one in a billion.

Gary, Chris, Hayley, Matthew & Emily,
Please know that we are here for you and you are in our thoughts and prayers....
A Poem to Ease your Sorrow -
I am not gone, I am changed
Have faith and please believe me.
God did not take me away from you,
He split the skies and received me.
Now...
I'm an echo in your laughter,
a reflection in your tears,
an extra thread of strength
to help you overcome your fears.
I'm an added ray of sunshine,
more joy for you to share,
a fragrance of the life you live.
Wherever you are - I am there.

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. My daughter Charlotte took ballet with Melinda in 2000. Charlotte was not destined to be a dancer, but she did enjoy the class. I appreciated Melinda's patience as well as passion. I'm sure you will find that she made an impact on a lot of people.

Dear Gary and Family,
I know you will find Melinda's legacy of love whenever you look into eachother's eyes. Although her life was too short, she accomplished so much and meant so much to so many - as wife, mother and friend. I know you will be with her again someday and in the meantime you won't be without her, because her love will live on in each of you and you will recognize it in eachother. You will be in my prayers.
Love,
Michael Casey

Dear Gary and family, I was so shocked and saddened to hear about your terrible loss. I remember the first time I met Melinda at an Eastern company outing at Canobie Lake Park many years ago. She was beaming and vivacious then and every other time our paths crossed at Eastern events. I know she was a wonderful wife, mother, teacher and giving member of her community and that her warmth and caring will live on in you and your family. Eric and I send our deepest sympathies to all of you. Fondly, Sara and Eric Meyers

Dear Samperi Family,
I was so sad to hear of Melinda's passing. My daughters started taking dance classes with her over a decade ago! Melinda's warm and supporting ways helped them to overcome any obstacles that could have hindered them from becoming the best dancers they could be. We miss her a lot and will always be grateful for the time we had with her. May God comfort you greatly and guide you through this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Maria, David, Ariana and Alisha Rosa
