Melba was my sister-in-law and a very kind, caring person. She was a comfort to me when my husband, her brother, Roger, passed away in 2000. We lost contact several years ago and I am so sorry to see this posted. To Melba's family, love never dies and I hope all of your wonderful memories of her comfort you during this heartbreaking time.
