I can still hear Melinda's voice when we used to chat on the 7 am shift with PPHC work during Covid. She was always planning something thoughtful for her family to make life happier and fun. She was a tremendously kind & dedicated coworker who served the Purdue family well during a very tough time. A beautiful energy like hers will always be here and wishing her family & other loved ones MANY warm & loving memories to help all through this most difficult loss. Peace and Love to You All
