Guest Book
Melinda A. Whitelow, 54, of Manhattan, New York, entered into eternal rest on Sunday, the 19th day of April, 2026. A loving Mother, Daughter, Sister, Wife, Aunt, and Best friend. Melinda welcomed and loved everyone, and she was willing to give her last. She enjoyed sitting on her father's front porch in Puerto Rico listening to the coquis. Melinda loved her tea, Pepsi, Grape Welch’s soda, and French Onion dip that had to be made by UTZ. She touched many hearts and made an everlasting impression. In her words, “I‘ll love you to infinity and beyond, and it will always be us four.” Melinda will be forever missed and loved dearly.
