My heart goes out to Melanie's family. I had met Melanie about two years ago when my family visited the show house. She was so very welcoming and kind. We had talked about my daughters health struggles and melanies as well. Melanie's kindness and understanding were genuine. Melanie has made such an impression on us. Such a special lady. My love and prayers to the family.

To the Schmuck family,
I just met Mel just about a month ago or so at Easter Market. I don't frequent the Market often but after talking with Mel, her co-worker and many other nice people there I decided to start going every Friday which I have done since. I am beyond saddened to hear of her passing. What a nice kind lady she was and again I only spoke with her a handful of times. She will be really missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult and sad time.
