Mel was a fabulous woman. I really enjoyed our talks while doing the clean ups and working together after the spaghetti dinner. She was full of smiles and energy. Such an amazing woman. We are so sorry for the loss. She will be missed.

Dear Dana,
Our eternal Moose home will never be the same. On May 13th when the "chicken lady" arrived Mel, let them know she was there. With her big smile, friendly demure, water bottle or coffee & a Virginia Slim in hand she was ready.
We all have so many memories of her it is hard to imagine she is gone yet she will be remembered for many years to come. As your family & your Antioch Moose family say good bye may you find peace & comfort remembering all the lives that she touched, the crazy times, good & bad times but most of all how much life she had to give with everything she did. Melody, left this world way to early her earthly journey was complete now she is with your dad to find eternal peace.
Prayers & Hugs,
