Incredibly sad to hear the news recently of Melanie's passing.  Growing up in Crystal City our paths crossed at school, work, sport, and around town.   What I remember most is her kindness.  She always greeted people with a warm smile - whether I was stopping at Grain Belt Agro to pick up supplies when helping my dad on the farm or whether we were just mowing lawns around town or riding our bikes, how nice she was to everyone always stood out to me.

I wanted to pass along my deepest condolences to Cornie, Elsie, Scott, Lee, Jill, and Melanie's extended family and close friends.

For Jill and Mel's family.... I am so saddened for your loss.  Although I only knew  Mel for a short while, from our talks and visits I appreciated the genuine down-to-earth and good-hearted soul she was.  I admired her strength and courage.  I know she will be sorrowfully missed.  My heartfelt condolences to all.  "Rest in peace Mel. "  

I played ringette in Pilot Mound with Melanie.  As tough as she acted...she was a softy on the inside.  Was so sad when I heard.  Small town connections are never lost.  Rest In Peace Mel.  Thoughts and prayers to her family.  

Having been a part of Jill and Melanie's lives since their capturing their wedding... You couldn't see a more beautiful display of love between two people.  Melanie's strength to face her health battles was evident through the past years and her beautiful shield was always her wife Jillian. 

My condolences to the Klassen Family, Wind Family and all the friends that grieve as Melanie & Jillians "Chosen Family".

I only knew Mel from hockey in the ASHL.  We always had nice conversations and the respect between the hockey player and referee was always there.   One time  I gave her her 3rd penalty which comes with a game ejection.  The next time I refereed her, she always came up to me with a smile and asked me how I was.  If she was playing goal, she give me a tap with her stick on the butt  :-)   I will miss her on the ice!
