As others were, I am shocked at Melinda's passing. I remembered her from Vintage, when I first walked in her office. A great smile always greeted me. Sending her children and family peace.

Melinda was a sweet person who we trusted and will surely miss. She was kind and understanding and patient. Her smile was so welcoming and comforting. She was our agent after Paul Crawford and we will miss her very much. Our condolences to her family from ours. Blessings. Jeff and Lynna Roberts.

When I lived in Napa our favorite activity was to sit and have lunch in Fuller Park, what was then across from her office. Fuller Park had other memories attached for us as well- with Leadership Napa Valley. One of the group activities had Melinda and me skipping across the park together, laughing hysterically as though we were five years old. Her ability to be so joyful with me in such a silly moment gives me such solace today; still puts a smile on my face.... I'm glad to have had the opportunity to share a little bit of life with her. Fuller Park will still remain a special place to honor her in my heart and mind. Jim

As a local mortgage broker I would often need to get proof of insurance from Melinda's office when working with one of my clients. There were never any delays, she was great to work with. Rest in peace Melinda and my condolences to the family.

Melinda was the truest essence of joy that one can find in a human being. It radiated from her face, her actions and her absolute love of family and friends. She was one of my besties in college and I have so many wonderful memories of our time there. So happy we reconnected a few years ago and took a couple of trips together, creating new memories.
She was taken too soon - may she rest in peace. My deepest condolences to Mary, Clay, Randy, Colton and Dylan and their extended family

Melinda was such a beautiful woman inside and out. Her smile would light up a room and my heart. Our boys played on the water polo team at Vintage and we were always there together cheering them on. Our boys grew to be good friends. We were mothers to each of them. I am so very sorry she is gone. My heart is broken for her and for Colton & Dylan. We have loved this family for years and will hold them in our prayers and hearts always.

Deeply saddened to hear of Melinda´s passing, we spoke not that long ago. She was always there to support my small business and I really enjoyed getting to know her over the years. Always kind, always went the extra mile, always supported Napa´s Little League baseball which was something we both loved so much. I´ll miss our business chats but mostly I´ll miss how supportive and thoughtful she was. Rest easy, sweet Melinda.

I am so sad about Melinda's passing. I met with her at the Hospital one week before she passed. Shocking to me. I am thankful I had that one last time to visit her. She was always there for me in business and personally. She will be so missed. Her last words to me were I love you and mine to her I love you too.

I knew Melinda through tennis activities. Although I am her senior by many years she was always kind and giving me many smiles.
So sweet.

So very sorry to hear this sad news. Melinda was always a joy to be around. So many memories for so many years. Our children all took swimming lessons together now they have their own kids. Time flies but memories will last forever. Especially the memories we have of special people like Melinda. My heart hurts for those of you closest to her. She was a special human being and will be missed.

I am beyond heartbroken. I grew up with Melinda attending Vichy, Silverado and Vintage with her. She had a huge heart and everyone loved her. She was fiercely competitive in all sports especially in tennis. The rivalry with Tracy Young was unmatched. I Rember her graduating from Pepperdine. Her folks hung a large banner on their home congratulating her. I played tennis a few days before she left Napa for Petaluma to pursue her insurance career. She was so excited. We reconnected 20 years later when I visited her at her office on Jefferson Street. I saw her again 5 years ago and I will never forget the bear hug she gave me. My last memory of her. You will be solely missed Melinda and rest in peace my friend...Vince
