Tribute Melanie - read on 23rd December 2015 at Memorial Service Dearest, beloved Mother 65 and gone too soon I wish that I could tell you I'm not ready to let you go. I wish I could have said one last goodbye I wish I could have held you close Now you are gone and my heart is feeling low. I miss the twinkle that lite up your eyes. I miss the sound of your voice, your laughter and sighs. But most of all I miss the way you made me feel like nothing could ever harm me because your love was so strong and real. You inspired me and told me to never give up and to always pursue my dreams. Your faith was deep and strong, all powerful all mighty. There are others here today and others who couldn't be here who will miss you and your life touched so many people. You left a ton of happy memories for Nicole and Allie and they will treasure your smiles, kisses and cuddles. My friends who became your friends. They want you to know they love you, too and are filled with sadness and grief. You were A peaceful soul walking this earth and Your laughter will always echoe in my heart. Rest in peace beloved Mother until we meet again. Your loving daughter Melanie
