I am so sorry for your loss. Im not sure if this is Melanie that I once worked with a Creative Connection Daycare and I pray to god that it is not her......But this sure looks like my dear friend that I once had and I use to visit Malanie at her home near Fonder on the Southwest side. I am so sorry my heart is very heavy as of right now. Someone please let me know if this her by the little info I have provided.
