I knew Melba from Laclede Groves Senior living facility. She was a friend of my mother in law Laverne in memory care assisted living. She was so cheerful and kind and easy to talk to. When she was moved to the care center, she was in the same area as Laverne again. It was a joy to see her again. I miss her smile.
