Johnny, I am so sorry for your loss. Melody was a wonderful person when we went to school together. I pray for peace and God will wrap His loving arms around all of you in this time of sorrows
I am so sad to hear of Melody’s passing. While I have not seen her since high school, I thought of her as a friend during that time in my life. Condolences and prayers to the entire family. God bless
A part of Ms. Melody will be with me every single day because she babysat my boys so they have a part of her in their lives. She helped shape them. Love to Johnny and her family. Although I will miss her, praise God she is healed.
Dear Johnny and family, we are saddened by Melody’s passing. She was a wonderful neighbor and our community on Forest View will miss her very much. We will continue to pray for you as you go through this Christmas season and the days to come. May the God of all comfort be with you today, tomorrow and forever. Love you all.
Melody will be greatly missed. She has been a part of the Lincoln Heights neighborhood and a friend as long as I’ve lived here. She really appreciated the neighbors and friends who brought her and Johnny meals. We loved cooking for them.
