Oh my Mae Mae.... How is it possible that tomorrow will be 13 years... I think of you so often and miss you so terribly much. I don't think I will ever stop missing you. I have so many amazing memories with you in your much too short earthly life. I will always cherish that. I love you always girl. XOXO

Melendez...

It has almost been one year since you have been gone. We all miss you so much and I personally am looking forward to the day when we all meet up again.

I know that I have said this to you before but I will say it again here. I know we had our issues when we were younger but we were always able to come together and resolve them. At the end of the day we would always be there for each other and love each other even stronger.

I love you my dear sister and miss you so much. You were one of the few people that truly knew me and what I stood for and vice-verse...

You will always be in my heart and I will miss you always. I love you Mae-Mae...

Melendez,

You do not know how often I think about you. "Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal." This experience has been so difficult for all of us - still somewhat unbelief.

Mae Mae, I can remember all the times we had together. When you were young and would spend the weekends with me, I felt like you were like my child. We shop on Saturday for church on Sunday. And it was YOU that lead me to First Church and I never hesitated to tell anyone when they ask, "Yes, a child did lead," just as the Word said.

And as you got older, I remember the times you would perm my hair - telling me, "Auntie, you need to be still and stop jumping around." Girl, you know those perms sometimes burned my head.

But I was most proud when you rededicated your life to Christ - and you did not tell nobody. It was between you and God. It was a good thing that you did, Mae Mae. So when the trumpet sounds, and God establishes His Kingdom, we will be together again in the New Jerusalem. Until then, Love,

Dear Melendez,

I know you've passed and I wish i had the chance to tell you how much I looked up to you. I wish the best life for you when I didn't even know what the "best life" was. Being so naive at 18 and actually growing up now has made me realize that life is short. I know that (chuckle) in my childhood Mae-Mae and I would cower in fear by her dominant personality. I am extremely sad to lose the woman that was my protector. Mae-Mae helped me... She helped me understand that Life is God given but not supernatural and we have been our time when we depart. We have to continue to live a God fearing life that way we can be in the place we desire.. and I'm glad that Melendez protected me that I can now learn to protect those that I love..

~Austin T.

words cant express how i feel about you and losing you. you were the first friend i met when i move to columbus even though it was through felicia. we became best friends. you helped me get through my first year of school here. as time went on, we lost contact but u was always with me. who would ever have thought that i would have to tell you how much you meant to me when you were no longer here to tell. i love you and miss you so much. one day, we will meet again. until that day, you will be forever missed but never forgotten

If only God would grant me the wisdom to turn back the "pages of time"
Honey, it is a new year -2009-and it is undescrible as to how i miss your precious presence. I find ny self looking for you everywhere. -Oh, my precious MAE-MAE departing was so sudden. PA-PA and I cannot fathom what you meant to us. One day we will all gather by the river- what a glorious reunion that will be! We never got to say good-bye. But I know you are in Land of perfect day.
God bless you and keep you in His loving care till we meet again!

My Condolences go out to the family of Melendez Bibb(mae mae). I am still shocked to know that you are gone.

I'm going to miss you Melendez...and again I will keep the Bibb family in my prayers.

Wow..it has been years since I last saw "Mae Mae" and "Mondo", as we all grew up together on Stambaugh and Elwood. I remember how outspoken Mae Mae was even as a little girl, and I used to say to myself " she rolls her eyes more than I do"!! She always had that infectious smile, and those adorable cheeks, and you could NEVER stay mad at her!! It really hurts to know that someone you grew up with is no longer here, especially knowing that you didn't get the chance to see them evolve into the beautiful individual that everyone had grown to love. My dad, aunts and uncles grew up with Kim and her sibblings and Mr. and Mrs. Bibb were ALWAYS mentors to myself and the other youth in our community. You all are in my thoughts and prayers and even though it has been years, the love never changes. I love you all and please contact me if you need ANYTHING.

RIP Mae Mae

Love Always,

Knowing That Physically Your Face I Will No Longer See. Tears keep Filling My Eyes As I Keep Remembering The Joyful Moment That We all Had. And You Know We had a Few, Now That Your Gone I Know What To Do, Keep It Going Cause That What You Would Do. Mae Mae This Is A Journey That We All Must Take And Our Heavenly Father Makes No Mistake. Your At Peace Now With No More Suffering, No More Pain No More Living With Lifes Strain. Peace And Much Love..."Although I'll Miss You I'll Find A Way To Get Through. You Were Like My Second Best Friend. We had So Many Things That We Connected On....(LOL)!!! Well Mae Mae Farewell Miss Lady I'll ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS KEEP YOU IN MY HEART....

As we walk through a flower garden, it is only the most beautiful and fragrant flowers that draw our attention. These are the flowers we choose to put in a vase for others to adore.

As we choose flowers to send to those we love, we look for the flowers with the most vibrant colors and the sweetest smelling fragrance to fill our bouquet to express our deepest feelings of love.

In the garden of life, Melendez, was that kind of flower; vibrant, sweet and beautiful. God choose her for His very own heavenly bouquet. Now, even the angels in heaven know what a rose looks and smells like as they walk the streets of gold with Melendez.

The precious thing about flowers is that even after they are gone, we can press their petals in a memory book, or even capture the essence of their frangrance in a perfume.

Hold dear to your heart the petals of joy, and love that Melendez has filled your life with.

Melendez is basking in the glory of the Son, where her flower will never wilt or fade.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
