I am honored to take care of her and listen to her stories. I will always remember her smile and saying good morning while she was outside enjoying the weather.

So sorry to hear of Melvina's passing. So glad we had connected the last few weeks. Thanks for keeping me informed and letting me know what was going on. I have a lot of memories of her when we were kids. Cousins at family gathering at Grandma Dyers house and other events. We also spent time together when we lived on West South Avenue and our kids were young. I know she loved her family and that each of you will miss her in your own way. I loved her and know she always loved me. She was so kind to go and see my mom when she was in the nursing home. We laughed at her funeral when she told me she had been to see mom and I told her that mom had told me that but that she had dementia and I did not believe her. She will be missed. Praying for your comfort.
