Please accept my sincerest condolences on behalf of myself and my entire family. Melva will always be remembered for her generosity, selflessness, and as a woman of deep strength. She was pure of heart and spirit. Through her love of cooking, Melva could always bring people together, making the holidays warm and welcoming. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to know her and be a guest at her table.The world is a little less without her, and she will be missed. With my deepest sympathies, may you find comfort in knowing that Melva is now at peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
