Keeping you & your family in my thoughts & prayers
Melodie, you were such a sweet, caring, considerate woman. So loving to all your friends and neighbors. You will be missed!
Robert and I will be keeping your family lifted up in prayers.
To Melodie’s family. Please accept my sincerest condolences for your loss, 53 years old is way to young to pass, When I lost my Dad 11 years ago at the age of 74 and thought that was to young. Although I didn’t know Melodie personally, I can see how much he has contributed to your family’s happiness. I can only imagine how extremely painful it must be for you to loose someone so close to you, but the comfort that I received from God’s word was so helpful, because it gave me a hope. Jesus’ words at John 5:28+29 and Isaiah 25:8 were so comforting to me. Please read them yourself to see why .
