May God Bless and Keep You All With HIS PEACE ! ( Vanessa Reid-Chas S.C. / Royal Baptist Church )

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I met Melonie a few years ago and since then she has a very pleasant, nice and beautiful person. I was sadden when I heard that she had passed, but she is now resting in the arms of the Lord now. May God comfort you in this time of sorrow. God Bless You

It has sadden & shocked me that in reading the obits today I recognized the name. At first I thought this can't be the same person I met a few years ago. Melonie was very instrumental in my getting on the right road to home ownership. She always spoke positive things & told me to believe. It's been 3 yrs since I've been in my home. I thank God that our paths crossed. My prayers are with you at this time & know that earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.

Melonie's life was a story told by God.
Although our friendship only spanned a couple of years, I will never forget the day that God brought Melonie into my life. During her treatments, she & I had shared many deep conversations, and it is with certainty that I know that she is now sitting at the foot of our Gracious Heavenly Father. And though we may mourn her loss here on Earth, may her wonderful family know that the angels have welcomed her home. She fought her battle bravely and fearlessly and will forever be an inspiration to all of us who knew her. We appreciate having been given the opportunity to participate in her care. May Christ comfort & keep you in the days ahead, and when you look up into the darkest night sky, know that the shining star you see will be Melonie's fabulous smile. We truly loved her. Until we meet again, my friend...

Family and Friends,
Our condolences, I am so heartbroken by the news. Kette was a beautiful individual. I was given a chance to be directly impacted by Kette’s leadership as a member of the Christal Brown Youth Ensemble in 1996. She was a great example of a poise and discipline woman.
