There are so many words that come to mind, and so many things to say, but they really just don't feel enough. I am so sorry for everyone's loss of such an amazing, beautiful soul to see, talk to and love on. I can't even explain what Melanie's friendship helped me survive. There were months of weeks and days where we talked so much and often that I got a headset just so that we could keep talking while I did my daily routines. Girl, you always got it and you were one of the least judgmental people I knew. Your house was always welcoming. Your huge smile, loud laughter and strong hugs were contagious. And I am sure your love will continue to be fierce. My prayer is that you woke up in the arms of the God you tried so hard to be close to, with no earthly barriers or strongholds keeping you back. Love you, sweet lady!
