I knew Melanie when her children were young in our neighborhood. She spent summers getting her pool ready and enjoyed activities with her children. She enjoyed decorating for the holidays and visiting her family. She was always a kind, helpful and compassionate person who offered her help to me when I was caring for a handicap sister. Melanie never wanted anything in return. She would help anyone in need and gave more of herself that asking for anything in return .
As her kids got older Melanie found success outside the home selling jewelry online and doing shows. I said to her “I never knew you were so outgoing.” She said I’m not it just happens when I’m online. Mel’s personality was suited to this type of work. I would tune in not always to buy the jewelry but just to watch Mel. Joe and the kids got involved as well. Mel had the type of personality that drew people in. She was magnetic and charismatic. Last year when I was undergoing chemo and a surgery that didn’t turn out well, Mel gave me hope and encouragement. I dont know how I would have done it without her. She was that kind of person. Melanie was empathetic and had a keen understanding of how others felt. She instilled those values into her children of whom she was very proud of. I pray for Joe and the kids to have strength in the days ahead and find comfort in Mel’s memories.
In my deepest sympathy!!! Prayers sent to Joe and your family. Love you all.
So many precious memories come to mind when I think of you. From kindergarten at Colliers primary school to our first job we had at the DQ. You were definitely one of my besties. Your heart was golden and you were so genuine. We didn’t talk often but when we did we just picked up where we left off. You made friendship so easy. I was happy you met your love Joe and were blessed with three wonderful children. I know your family was most important to you and how proud you were of all of them. Hope you rest easy and are no longer in pain my beautiful friend ❤️
