I remember sweet Melanie as a sweet giving & caring soul! I remember helping with the plans of her special wedding day & being a part of that special day. Since then we lost touch with all of us being busy with our lives but a special group of us would try together every year at Christmas. I miss those times!!! Time is something so very special & your time her sounds just as special!! As you are now in a better place we will continue to honor your memory.
Marilyn Sims says
Melanie, you were a ray of sunshine. You lit up the room where ever you went. Your friendship was special and I will miss you more than words. Doug, Garrett and Emily, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I know one thing for sure, she loved you three more than life itself, and she especially loved sweet Harper. What special times she spent with her, always smiling when she was with her. Love to all of you.

Nearly a week has gone by and I still do not what to say to express my love of Mel and my sadness around her loss. But, I will say that losing Melanie on Sunday reminded me of some of the best times in my life! Mel, Terry, Tom, Kelly, and Rick you made me laugh, you made me gain about 10 pounds every Friday, you made me feel like I was part of something wonderful. Melanie I will miss you, not because I saw you very often but because knowing you were here made the world a far better place! I love you!
