Melba became very special to my family when she acted as a caregiver to my mother, Kathleen Ward, the last few months of her life. She became a friend who demonstrated her love for Christ in the way she treated not only mother but my family. I will never forget her and all that she did for us at a very difficult time in our lives. I know that she is with my mother again now in heaven and both are in good health and are once again enjoying each other´s company. That is a great comfort to me, and I hope it is to her family also.
With sincere sympathy,
Charlotte Ward Johnson
