You were so loved by so many and didnt realize it. Loved you very much. We shared alot in our lives happy and sad times.
My heart goes out to her family.. Mel and I were best friends for so many years, she will be missed. Megan and Nicole grew up with my youngest kids. Mel was so proud of that grandbaby! You will be missed Mel. God rest your soul. My prayers are with your family.
Dear Megan and Nicole, Your Mom and I were very good friends in jr high and high school but lost track of each other after that. I lived away from this area until 2003 and didn’t know she was here in Quincy. I really regret not trying to find her. We had so much fun together-we rode our horses every day in summer (Duchess & Rock), we double-dated when she was going with your Dad in High School. Those were some fun times! I will miss her and you have my deepest sympathy. Love, Mary K
Megan and Nicole—I just read today’s (Sunday) paper, and I am shaking. Can you please call me and tell me what happened. Melanie has always been so special to me and I am so sorry to learn of her death. I talked to her not too long ago. She was asking me about a cleaning job she was going to start. I had wanted to go out and see her new place and never had yet. I am so sorry– I tried to reach out to her over the years, but I feel like I could have done more. I know she loved you girls more than anything and you are her pride and joy along with your families. She gave me a few things that I treasure, cuz they were from her. She did have such a soft, giving heart and she is so special. I always had a heart for her. I am so sorry, I won’t get to come to the visitation. We will be out of town in Indiana for a family reunion that is only once a year. Please call me, Megan or Nicole—-217-224-5297 or my cell–217-779-3475. I don’t know how to get in touch with you. I really need to hear from you. I wish I could see you before Wed. We are leaving Wed. afternoon. Thank you so much—Love you both–in Christ, Holly Miller
Very sorry to hear this sad news. Melanie was a fun loving, good person. She will be greatly missed. My sympathy and prayers to her daughters and family.
