I had the pleasure of knowing Melanie professionally as our Corporate Attorney. She came highly recommended to me by another law firm, which attests to the fine reputation she had as an expert in her field.

I came to love and respect her because she was so vivacious, energetic, bright, beautiful, and knowledgeable. In legal battles she was tenacious, unstoppable! I will certainly miss her. I wish you courage and strength at this difficult time.

Dear Randy and Family,

May God grant you peace during these painful times. All of us grieve the loss of a wonderful woman and Attorney. Melanie and I met in 1981 and from the beginning,were united by our differences . I will never forget our heated discussions at the end of which, she would turn and flash me her beautiful and unforgetable smile.

Melanie you will continue to be my inspiration, humble, dedicated and so darn smart. Rest in peace my friend, you gave us all so much.

Isabel Suarez, U.D. class 1984.

I started court reporting just a few years before Melanie started doing Workers' Comp work, and we worked together often through the years.

I always looked forward to the depositions and hearings I took for her and had great respect for her professionalism as an attorney and her sense of humor and warmth as a person.

You could really see the love she had for her husband and son when she talked about them. I'll really miss her. Your famiy will be in my prayers. God bless. Caryl Blevins

I was saddened to hear of Melanie's illness and of her passing. I guess I was the person who got her started in workers' comp defense many years ago. She was a wonderful person and an authority in her chosen profession. I am sorry that my business travels prevent me from attending the visitation and service for her. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time of their loss.
