I worked with Melanie at Wesley Long Hospital. She was so sweet and caring. You could tell that she simply adored her family...she talked about you guys all of the time. I remember when the baby was in the NICU--Melanie used to talk to him over the phone. That was so precious! I know that she touched many lives and will be greatly missed by all those that knew her. God bless you all!

She was one of the warmest most caring people I have ever known. I don't think any of us will ever forget the home away from home she created. And I will always be greatful for the concern she showed me in the hospital. She will be greatly missed.
