I am heartbroken to hear this. Melody was a dear friend to me for much of our childhood and young adult lives. So many fond memories will remain with me forever. She was intelligent, witty, fun and a loyal friend who I have thought of so many times over the years. I pray she is at peace and my thoughts and prayers are with Carol, Scott and Melody's boys. May she rest in peace.
