Melinda had such a big heart and was very kind.  She made me things that I still have today.  She made a red headed doll holding a dark haired baby.  I am red headed and we adopted a beautiful black haired baby girl.  It was such a personal gift that she created with her own hands,   

She was such fun to travel with, never complaining and always pleasant.  I’ll never forget when Tom, Dean Melinda and I swam with the Dolphins.  She had such joy on her face.

These are just a few memories as I have many.
