Dear Melody's family

There are no words but please know that we are holding your families close in our hearts during this most difficult time.  Melody was aptly named as she brought music to everyone that she met.  Please take care.

My brother, Dan Orlowski, notified me of Melody's passing & that he had gone to school with her at Gordon Graydon.  I also went to school with one of the Comries, Evelyn, and was surprised that
Evelyn had passed away.  I have tried to attend Graydon Reunions before it was officially closed this past year but was unable to do so this past year with the passing of my husband.  
To the Comrie family, I send my condolences on such a sudden passing.   After reading the beautiful words of her obituary and seeing her smiling face in the photo, I hope memories will support you now and in the days ahead.  

Christine McMullan (nee Orlowski), Orleans, ON

I worked alongside Melody for many years as Telus and I'll always remember her as a kind, generous of spirit, fun person.  Her smile would light up a room, and her sharp intelligence, coupled with her witty sense of humour, made her such a captivating person to be around.   She always had an interesting anecdote to share, and I consider her to have been one of my best friends. 

I'll always be grateful for her enthusiastic help when I moved house - she was a really hard-worker!

So sad she was taken from us so early.   May she rest in peace.
