I am so sad and shocked to hear of Melinda's untimely passing. She was still young and had so much life to share. Please know my many thoughts and prayers are with each family member, especially Miranda. It's tough losing your Mother. But I'm happy to learn she was ready to meet her Savior Jesus Christ, to now be fully alive and well to enjoy her family and loved ones in heaven forever. Love to you all.

I have been friends with Melinda since high school..She was so dear to me. Melinda, Gigi and I were inseparable back in the day.... Melinda and Meranda lived with me for a while when Meranda was about 5 and we got very close again... I have so many great memories. I love her and will miss her so much.

I'm so shocked about this ? I met Mel when she moved to Oakleaf Townhouses, she was funny, loved those crazy cats, always on her back porch. It was 5 o'clock somewhere anytime
We had many great conversations I will always remember. God bless y'all while you go through this process! Heaven has gained a angel

The only times that I met Melinda were times of celebration for Meranda. She loved her daughter so much and was proud of the amazing woman she's become. I'm so sorry that she will not be here to see the next chapter of your life,Meranda, but know she'll be forever in your heart.
