When they moved to Villa Rica, Mel made so many friends that became family, and they made lake life the good life.

Melodee will be missed by so many friends and family. We were 2 peas in a pod during our teenage years. Cousins are friends for life and she was one of the best. My heart breaks for Herb and Violet...losing both of your children before their time has to be the hardest and most painful hurt there could ever be. My sincere condolences to her husband and daughter. RIP
