I just now found out about Melanie's passing while searching for her on FB. We worked together at Nordstrom's and we're extremely close. She was one of my favorite people and I'll always remember that time of my life by me and her taking our fifteen minute breaks and making each other crack up. She was beautiful inside and outside.

"She was the life of every party. She never knew a stranger. I remember when I met her. She's the most sweet, unselfish and bubbly person I've ever been lucky enough to know let alone be related to. To Aunt Regina and Uncle Ken I am so sorry for your loss. We will all see her again one day."

To Melanie's family and friends,
I just found out about this terrible, terrible loss for all those that ever knew Melanie. As a Middle School Student Melanie was a stand out as a phenomenal, multi-talented young lady who mentored and inspired all those she came in contact with. As her advisor at that time for Peer Counseling and "What's in What's Out" I had the privilege of seeing her shining light and kindness touch so many at such a young age. It breaks my heart to know that she is gone but I will always be grateful for having known her. My heartfelt condolences to her family and friends. Rest in peace lovely lady. You will remain in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know you.

My prayers go out to Kenneth Dunn and the family. God is on your side and has opened the gate for your daughter to find eternal peace.

I am so sorry that the world has lost such a beautiful, genuine, light filled human being. I hurt for Mel's family deeply. I am grateful for the opportunity to have known Melanie. I believe that Melanie didn't know a stranger. She saw the best in everyone and had a way about her that was so welcoming and accepting. Although Ive known her briefly, she made me feel like we had a shared history and were in every sense of the word, family. The Franklin/Abebe family get-togethers will not be the same without her. The world will not be the same without her.

Though I never had the opprotunity to meet you, I feel as though I know you. Your mother spoke of you so proudly (with the exception of a parking ticket or two) during our breaks together.
So sorry such an unfortunate event had to happen to such good people. My thoughts and prayers are with The Dunn Family. May God keep and protect you all. Mel is shining even brighter in the Heaven's with Our Father.

I love you words alone can not express the sorrow we have in our hearts for the pain you have had to endure with the lost of Melanie. our thoughts and prayers are with you always.
To our beloved Melanie
Our lives go on without you
but nothing is the same
we have not to hide our heartache
when we speak your name
sad are the hearts that love you
silent are the tears that fall
living without you is the hardest part of all.
you did so many wonderful things in life.
you touch so many lives with your
warm caring spirit great personality
and pretty smile.
the special years will not return
when we are all together
but with the love in our hearts
you will be with us forever.

Ken and Regina, I am so sorry about the loss of your Daughter Melanie, I only met her once when you guys came to L.A. and had a family gathering at Auntie Bernice's house, everybody was happy and Ken was B.B.Q'ing. I remember Mona introduced Melanie to me and she called me Auntie Lily, she was so nice and pleasant. I remember Ken made her sing, they were having a lot of fun.
I know you all will miss Melanie, but you have the good times to keep in your hearts. You will be remembered in my prayers. So Sorry about this.

Mel, your smile and personality shined so brightly. I remember meeting you for the first time and being taken by your beauty. I asked you if you had been a dancer as a child because the way you carried yourself was so poised and elegant. You've given us so many laughs. Your sense of humor always made the party more fun! Everyone who's ever met you, even once, remembers you. You're simply unforgettable.

Mel, Mel this was the weekend you were coming up for a visit with grammy. I have not been the same since I heard the sad news of your death. This has impacted my life in such a way that can't think. My thoughts and prayers will always be with you, I will never forget your sweet smiling face. I will miss you but god knew best. He has the Gemstone of my life in heaven with him. I was so proud of you in so many ways but so sad that I could not tell you just one more time how much I love you. May the angels carry you swiftly to your new home in heaven. Grammy will always hold you close to my heart, may god bless you, rest in peace.

My prayers are with you all.

God was looking for a flower to add to His garden, He looked down here on earth and saw one, picked it and called it "MELANIE", now His garden is beaming over with Sunshine just as everyone did when Melanie would enter into a room. The Heavens are aglow with Sunshine, now that Melanie has been added to Gods crop.
She will truly be missed by us all but she left behind smiles, laughter and good times we will always remember.
May Melanie's soul and all the souls of the faithful departed through the Mercy of God rest in Peace forever.
Ken, Regina, Dawn and Johnathon you are in my prayers with Melanie.

My deepest sympathy to Melanie's family during your hour of such grief. My life was touched by Melanie when we worked together at Nordstrom. She was such a light! I always looked forward to her radiant smile. Melanie always saw the good in those around her. It was truly a blessing to know her and call her "friend." Her memory will be eternal.

My heartfelt sympathies to the family for the loss of Melanie. She and I worked together at Nordstrom and shared many wondeful personal times together--having dinner at special places or just talking--she really looked up to me as a role model and I knew she was a wonderful person with a bright future. I will continue to pray for her and for the family to heal from this loss.

To My Sister,
Words cannot honestly express the way I feel right now. When the shock wears off and reality sets in, I don't know how to deal with not being able to see you again. You were my only sister and best friend and I thank you for being the best TiTi to Denel and Julian. Although your life was cut tragically short your spirit will continue to live on through me and through the hearts of all the people you have touched. You were such a special person, larger than life, and your exuberant personality was contagious. Although your life was tragically cut short I promise you that I will not let your death be in vain. I love you sister and I will try to find solace in knowing that you are looking down on us from up above and that your light will shine on forever. God Bless you sister and I pray that you are resting in peace.
Love,
Your Big Sis

To the Dunn Family, my prayers are with you and may God give you the strenght during this difficult time. I am extremely sad to have heard of Mel tragedy. She was taken away too soon. Mel was a kind human being, smart and funny. I loved your daughter and always spoke very highly of her. I was very proud of her when she was accepted into Berkely, and I could not stop bragging to people of her accomplishment. She worked hard in school and had determination. I loved her passion, self confidence, and her lovely spirit. She always respected others for who they were and positively saw the potential in every individual. She will be missed.

I met Melanie several times while visiting my son Colin at the hotel, and she was a delightful young woman. I share in the sorrow of her tragic loss.

Melanie. Even though I didn't know you well, I do remember you from High School and you were always kind to me even though I was shy and didn't talk a whole lot. I wish I had gotten to know you better. My condolences are with your family and friends. You were taken way to soon from this place and I know you are in a better place now and hope you can see all the outpourings of love for you from those who knew you well and those like me who didn't but were touched by your kindness and bright light anyway.
