I am so very saddened to read of Miss Melvas passing. My deepest sympathies and condolences to her family and friends. She was truly a wonderful woman I was fortunate to know my entire life. She was a caring, God fearing woman that treated others like a Mother and friend. The last time I saw her, we shared a hug, some stories and many laughs! I won't forget you sweet lady! May you fly high with our Lord and Savior!
