Melody was one of my closest childhood friends. I have many treasured memories of her, and her family. Spent MANY nights at her house. Our favorite activity was to lay awake all night and make up stories about us and our "boyfriends" Donny Osmond, Shaun Cassidy, Parker Stevenson, and the Bay City Rollers hahaha! Saturday Night Live and The Midnight Special will always remind me of her. My most precious memory of her though, was after we had grown up, and I hadn't seen her in years. I saw her at my mother's funeral, and she didn't say one word- she simply held me and cried with me. That meant more to me than anything that day. Hearing of Melody's passing was like a knife in my heart. I will always love her and treasure our friendship.
