Family Comments:

Howard (husband) : Melanie and I were not only husband and wife, but also friends though our marriage. We each gave 110% to each other and always were friends and enjoyed being with each other everyday of our lives. She was the love of my life and I will miss her everyday but I know she now is with the Lord and l look forward to being with her again for eternity. I love you (whole bunch)

Allen(son): I will miss my mom. She was the most amazing woman and best mom I could ask for. I am sure she died with no regrets and lived life to the fullest while she could. I was not the easiest kid to raise but she loved me despite my shortcomings, and I thank her for that. I hope she is with her mother now, who she missed dearly, and she is happy and at peace. I love you mom and will miss you everyday until I see you again.

Stacey(daughter):

Mom’s love was endless, a constant in my life, and even though she’s no longer here, her presence will live on in everything I do. She was the heart of our family, the one who always knew how to make things better, whether through a hug, a kind word, or simply just being there. Mom had a strength that came from love, and a wisdom that came from understanding the little but important things in life—like how to listen, how to forgive, and how to love unconditionally. Her laughter was just the best, her advice a compass, and her hands a symbol of care and dedication. She was fun and quite feisty too. She taught me so much, not just with her words, but with her actions. She loved fiercely, cared endlessly, and fought bravely for the people she cared about. Though she may not walk beside me, I know she is always with me—in my heart, in the lessons she taught, and in the way I live my life. I will forever be grateful for the time I had with her, and I carry her love with me, always. I love you Mom and I am so blessed I had you in my life-it is never long enough. I will carry you in my heart and memories-until we are in our final home together-I will hug you again.

Gabrielle(daughter in law): Melanie was like a mother to me. Always there to listen and give me advice. I treasure my memories with her and know she is looking down on us from Heaven.

William(grandson):Grammie loved. She loved her friends. She loved her family. She'd do anything for them. She loved the beach and throwing parties. She loved taking care of people. She loved her plants. She loved life. And she loved so deeply. That love can never be replaced. We miss it. I miss it. And we all are lucky to have gotten to experience her and her love. And now we all have a piece of her love that we can now share with others.

Kathleen(granddaughter-in law): Grammie was the glue that kept so many people connected. She was a true celebrator and made everyone feel welcome. I’m going to miss her so much.

Debbie(sister in law):

Melanie was someone who would listen to you bring out new ideas to think about. She loved to entertain and loved being with family and friends. Melanie and I talked a lot lately concerning family and how things were changing faster than we were prepared for changes. She was happy and positive.
