Freddy, Rob, Melissa…….your Mother was one of the finest and sweetest women I have ever known. she was a big part of my life growing up…as neighbors, classmates & always at church. Miss Melba always had a hug and a smile for all who knew her. May your memories and your faith and friends and families bring you peace and comfort through the coming days. I know that heaven is a little brighter right now because she is up there. With love and sympathy to all of you……Beth & Matthew Lanagan
Robbie, may God bless and comfort you in your loss and keep your mom’s memory alive in your heart for eternity. Your mom was one of those special ladies / moms for all of us. You are in our prayers.
Your Mom was a very special lady that I am blessed to have known. She will be missed. I regret that my schedule prevented me from attending the funeral. I thought and prayers are with you.
Robbie Your Mom was always the best, she would always tease us about having girlfriends and laugh with us. I remember seeing her at Good Shepherd hospital in 2004 when my Dad had surgery and eventually passed away, she was encouraging even then. May Jesus comfort you and care for you as you pass through this time in you life. Randy
I loved and will miss Melba. She was an amazing woman and played a big role in my life growing up! I will always see her standing by her door waving to me as I go by or inviting me to eat lunch or something. You guys are in my prayers – I wish that there was more that I could do….I’ll never forget her!
