Mel and David,



I am very sorry for your precious

loss. There is no one more special

in children's lives than a mother.

She is our comfort, confidant and

is always there for us with

unconditional love. I had the

pleasure of meeting and knowing

your mom and was truly a special

lady. I am glad God allowed our

lives to cross paths through Melodie. She was fortunate to have

had two wonderful children as well.

May all of your wonderful memories

help you during this sorrowful time.



Love and prayers

To the family "Aunt Sis" left behind - All we ever heard from Pat White about Aunt Sis was how wonderful she was - I know she'll be greatly missed by all who knew her personally - I'm sorry I never knew her but I'm sure if I had, that she would've had a positive effect on me.

I heard a great deal about "Aunt Sis" from Pat. I wish I would have been able to meet her as she seemed to have been a very kind, loving and sincere person. My condolences to the entire family.

My Aunt Sis was a very great person who always made things perfect for me when I went to visit her. She made sure I had everything I wanted. Whenever I would say I love Aunt Sis, she would always say I love you to precious! Aunt Sis was just that way. She was a very gentle and kind person. I loved her very much and I know that apart of her will live on in her children that she raised so well and in my mother, Pat White. I Love you Aunt Sis!

So sad to read of Chris's passing. Had not seen or spoke with her in quite a few years. We became friends through the Calligraphy Guild of Columbus. Chris was always so good about letting me know whenever she had a lead on a drafting table. I'm the one that owns David's old four post table from Rockwell. What a thing to move, but I love it. Chris was such a kind, friendly and thoughtful soul. I've thought of her often over the years and hoped to see her sometime at the meetings. The Calligraphy Guild of Columbus will purchase and dedicate a book for our library in Chris's name. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. - Sandy Schaadt
