Mel was one of the most gregarious and kind hearted people I will ever know. She was a champion for the underdog and drew people to her with that contagious laugh. Thoughts and prayers to Melissa and all of Mel´s family & friends.

I only met her once, but she was unforgettable. We talked and laughed for about an hour. She was a great friend and coworker to my son Cody Richter. She will be missed terribly.

Melissa - Since I learned of Melanie´s passing, I find myself thinking of you and your family. I am comforted because I am one of the lucky ones whose life was touched by this fun woman and have nothing but funny happy memories of being roommates and college students together. I join you and the many others who will miss her, but I remain grateful still for having known her.
