Happy 24th birthday, Melinda! You are truly missed. Hard to believe that today you would have been 24. I could just hear it now, if you saw me at a bar or club you would probably be whispering to your friends..."there's my cousin, she's hecka old. What is she doing here"? ;) and then you would probably make me buy you a drink. Cheers cousin!!!love you.

Dear Melinda,
I have been thinking about you a lot lately. Deep down inside I feel so lost without you here. You were my cousin but you were also like a sister and a best friend. I knew I could tell you anything and you would be there to listen to me. I just wish I could do something to bring you back because my life's not the same without you.. a part of me is missing. All of your friends write me on facebook and tell me how much you would mention me to them and it was nothing but good things. I hope your proud of me attending college and I hope your constantly watching over me. I love you Melinda.

-Love your cousin Alina

Six years ago today our Melinda became an Angel. It was the saddest day of our lives. Melinda we love you and miss you so much. I have We Belong Together as my ring tone and some day we will be together again. I love to think of all the crazy things you did and how you would light up a room with your smile. Rest in peace my Angel and you will forever be in our hearts. Love Mom

I did not know Melinda but I used to live half a block away from where she was in the accident. I had been driving on 65th street about 30 minutes before the crash and remember hearing the sirens and going to see the people gathering on the road. I found out the next day that this beautiful girl had died and it broke my heart. Much too young but it looks like she will not be forgotten by her great friends and family. Rest in paradise.

Its hard to believe its been this long. I always think of you when I pass your resting place but mostly think of your mom and how strong she is...i know you are around here and looking out for her and your family....Nani cupcakes...such a cute name....Jenna turned 21 today and I will take her to El Novillero since we haven't been there such she was little, and we will say a blessing for you and your family.

Happy Belated '18th' Birthday Melinda,

I often think of your cute little smile and 2 ponytails, knocking on my door to play with Jolissa. Bruce still goes by your grave and pounds his chest twice and throws the peace sign, he visits you and his brother at the same resting place. Rest in peace sweety and you will always be a part of our life. Continued prays for your family.

Your Cousin, Wendy Gavia

March 12, 2008

Melinda, We went to visit you again on your birthday and it's so hard to even begin to imagine how much your mom, dad, brother, and sisters must miss you. I really hope you are able to look down and see the effect that your life had on people. I thank you and your mom for making a difference is Marissa's life she came to realize a lot after talking to your mom and looks at you as a true inspiration. You really are an angel...

MELINDA,
I THOUGHT OF YOU TODAY LIKE MOST DAYS, BUT TODAY YOU'VE BEEN ON MY MIND ALOT. I KNOW YOUR WATCHING ALL OF US AND I'M SURE THERES ONLY SO MUCH 1 ANGEL CAN DO! BUT I TRUELY BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL HELP GEORGE JR COME TO GRASP THAT YOU ARE WITH GOD, I KNOW HE'S SUFFERING MORE THAN HE TELLS ME. I PRAY FOR YOUR PARENTS AND YOUR BROTHER AND SISTERS DAILY. I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE SO VERY MUCH MISSED AND LOVED BY EVERYONE WHO'S LIVES YOU WERE A PART OF. THINKING OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. JANEE ROBSON (GEORGE RAMOS JR'S MOM)

MELINDA,

Not a day passes without thoughts of you and our hearts hurt so deeply. Still don't understand why it had to be you. Your dad said it best when he said, "Shanae will never find another best friend like you!" That is so true. The sparkle in Shanae's eye will never be the same. You touched our lives in an incredible way and we can only be greatful to have been a part of your life. Your friendship and love for Shanae was like no other, I never hear her laugh the way she did with you and acting so goofy as you both did. Oh how I miss the joy you brought into her life. I never told you thank you for being a true friend to my daughter but I can only hope you felt how much you were a part of our hawaiian family. I go and visit you on my way home from work and can't believe that people take the things I bring you but that's not going to stop me, I will continue to visit and bring you little things. My you continue to give your family the strength they need to make it through the days. We love you so deeply that our hearts hurt. Forever your jigga momma

Janee Robson(George Ramos jr's mom)

Melinda,

I want you to know that there isnt a day that goes by that you are not thought of. Your cousin George(Ramos Jr) lost a part of him on the day GOD took his arms and opened them to embrass you on your way home with him.There are days that George dosent say much at all but I know what hes thinking,other days he talks about the "remember when" times and he laughs. You have filled his life with so much and I know you will continue doing so.And for that I THANK YOU when he talks about you he always smiles. He tries to be there for little Danny and he always will. When Riley finds a penny he asks me if Melinda sent it down to let us know your watching and I tell him yes.

Danny and Patty, There are no words to ease your pain, but I want you know that My family is praying for you daily. Melinda Janet Ramos "My Angel in Heaven".

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Dear Melinda,

I Cant Bealieve Your Gone. I Never Even Tought About Loosing Such A Wonderful Cuzin Like You. I Just Ask God Why He Had To Take You And Why Couldnt It Be Someone Else Who Was Doin Bad Thingz Or Sumthing. You Were Doing So Good Before U Left By Raisin Ur Grades N Stuff And Everyone Waz So Pround Of U. Everytime I Think About You It Brings Tears To My Eyes And I Just Cant Help It. I Feel Like A Piece Of Me Is Missing Without You Here Cuz We Were So Close And Would Tell Each Other Everything. I Remember All The Times We've Had Even From When We Were Little. I Remember Thing Such As Our First Giants BaseBall Game, Takin Pix All The Time, Always Wanting To Have Sleepovers, Being Mean To Ur LiL Bro And George, Talkin On The Phone All Niite, You Always Tryin To Hook Me Up W/ Ur Hot Guy Friend's LiL Brothers, You Always Darin Me 2 Do Crazyy Stuff, Us Sitting In Ur Room All The Time Listenin 2 Music, Prank Kallin Gurlz U Didnt Like And A Whole Bunch Of Other Crazy Stuff Like That. Everytime I Was W/ You I Wuld Have Sucha Fun Time..There Was Never One Time Where I Was Bored With You. Like I Said Before I Still Cant Bealieve Ur Gone And I'll NEVER Forget You. You Are Truly A Wonderful Person To Not Only Me But To Ur Whole Family And Friendz. We All Love You And Miss You So Much Gurl...Cant Wait To See You Again In Heaven.

Melinda,

I miss you more and more everyday, I think about you all the time. Life seems like it's draging without you here. I'm glad that I got to see you that night and we joked around like always. I just wish I got to hold you tight and told you how much I love you sister. I hate doing simple task like going to the store by myself because usually you would be with me. I miss you answering the phone when I call the house and me mistaking Lil Danny for you. I miss you spending the night at my house when Lawrence is gone and you telling my "what I'm I going to do to protect you". Just you being there with me made me feel safe and now that you are gone it hurts so bad. I miss you joking with me and telling me how old and uncool I am and that I have no friends. I used to get so annoyed when you use to say that but now I would give anything to hear it again. I miss your funny stories you would tell me. I just MISS YOU! I try to stay strong and some days I can't help myself from crying and getting angry. I do think of all the memories we shared and it makes me smile, but it saddens me to think of all the NEW memories we will be missing out on. I love you sister so much and can't wait for the day that we will be together again. You will always be in my heart and never forgotten. I will make sure my children know who there Auntie Melinda is and what a special person you are.

I love you Melinda.

Ive been friends w/ lisa since 8th grade and remember coming over to your house and seeing melinda play softball at parkway . when I seen the accident on the news i couldnt believe it was her.. i was like wow this cant be, because Lisa and I were just talking about her a few weeks before. It really hit close to home for me. i cant imagine what your family is going thru but i just wanted to say she grew up into a beautiful young woman, it really made me sad when i heard it on the news i cried to my husband and i still get up set as i think about it. just know that she is in a better place watching over you guys.. just be strong and keep praying everything will get better just have to take it one day at a time.. your family are in my prayers

Dear Patty and Danny,

I know there is not much that I can say to make u guys feel better, but I definitely want you two to know that I am supporting you 100% and I pray for you and your family everyday.Most of the time, we do not understand why God does the things that He does, but as hard as it is sometimes, we must always trust Him, and trust the things that He does. It's not easy to understand His plans sometimes, but continue to have faith in Him, and never give up on God. He took Melinda home for a reason; as unfair as it is. The Bible says that we can not comprehend sometimes why God does the things that He does, but we must believe in Him, and that His plan is in our best intrest. When I heard about this my heart immediately dropped, and I said to myself, no, it cant be the Melinda i used to play softball with. I know the last time we talked was probably around 3 to 4 years ago, and i dont really remember that much, but what i do remember is that you guys were and still are awesome parents. You and your whole family would come out to all the games, and your love for Melinda was evident to all who knew you guys. I remember coming to your house and spending time with you guys. I want you to know that my mother and I were there at the funeral to support u guys, and I cried so hard.I wnated to run up and give u guys a hug, but I knew it wasn't the right time. My mom said to me,"dont worry we will get to see them again." Just know that each day will gradually get better. You guys will be able to help parents who have also losed their child. Know that God's plan is perfect for your lives. Please e-mail me if you can, i would love to talk to you guys and see you again. I love you soooo much.

Love,

Leo (Tanks)

I was a friend of Marissa's in high school and met Melinda on a few short occasions. Marissa informed me of what happened and I want you all to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry for this tragic loss. She had grown into such a beautiful young woman from the pictures I have seen. I want you to know that I am here if anything is ever needed. I will be in contact with Marissa. May God bless you all. My best to your family.

I am sitting here at school utterly devastated about Melinda's death. I only found out five minutes ago - I was off track when it happened and I don't get the newspaper, but Mani Phouaypha's brother Myron stopped by after school and let me know. Melinda was such a sweet, sweet child - one of my favorites in all my years of teaching. Sweet, intelligent, beautiful - I simply can't believe she's gone. I'm also so terribly sorry I didn't know about her funeral or I would have been there. My prayers are with you and everyone (and I know there are many) who are hurting. God bless you and let me know if there's anything I can do.

I want you to know that you all are in the prayers of myself and my family. Such a loss, no one should ever endure. Melinda was in one of Katie's classes and when she heard, her one statement to me that maybe sums it all up was, "Dad, she was so sweet!" May God be with all of you!

i still cant believe that that ur not with us anymore lil cuzin, i always thought of u more of a sister than a cousin we had a lot of goodtimes growing up and i wish we could have had a lot more. its hard to get over the fact that ur gone im gona miss the times we spent on the phone even though we mostly talked about getting u out of trouble or talkin about the trouble ur gona get into (lol) im also gona miss hangin out with u we always had fun together even when we had nothin to do but stay at the house we still found a way to have a good time. even though we liked different things and had different taste in style we thought the same and were the same at heart not alot of people knew u the way i did, we talked about alot of stuff and i always enjoyed when u would come to me for help or advice it made me feel like ur big brother and it made me feel good when i was able to help u out and put a smile on ur face. i cant help but cry everytime i think about u lil cuz it feels like a part of me went with u in that accident but im gona try and stay strong cuz i know thats wat u would is for me not to grieve but to b strong and not only for me but for the family too so thats wat im gona do. i never said it much when u were here but i want u to know lil cuzin that i love u and i always will and i feel that its unfair that u were the only one that got taken but God needed you for something so he took you and i hope when its my time i get to go with him to. well again i love u lil cuz and you'll always be in my thoughts and heart and im sad still that ur not here but im also happy to know that ur in a better place and i hope u and my grandpa r the first ones their at those gates when its my turn to go up

Danny, Patty and Little Danny, no words can ever express the sadness that I feel for your family at this time. I know there are no words to comfort you now, just know that you have a lot of people that care and are here for you. Melinda was a beautiful girl who touched many lives, I was so touched by the outpouring of love for your family. I pray that God cradles you in his arms and gets you through the hard road ahead. Just know your little angel is with Him. God Bless you Ramos Family. With heartfelt sympathy, Jolyne.

My beautiful baby sister Mel,

My heart is broken. I know that you are with our Lord and I have found peace in that. But it doesn't stop my heartache.Who will make fun of Mom and Lisa with me, and go to the mall with me? And now I have to face the scary Taco bell lady alone. Although we were different I could see so much of myself in you. I am so proud of everything that you have accomplished, because you worked so hard last year. Life is going to be so hard without you here. I will especially miss our late night talks about what ever was on your mind, when you spent the night. My love for you will never end. And I will see you again on the day the Lord calls me home. Never Goodbye, but until we meet again. I love you Mel!

With all of my love,

Marissa
