As we near Thanksgiving Day and I think of the things I'm thankful for, Melba is at the top of my list. I will miss her forever but so thankful for the 35 + years we were friends. I met Melba in the early part of 1979. We became instant friends and have good through good and bad, ups and downs together.
I hope memories will sustain each of you in the days, months and years ahead.
Love to you all.

was very energetic at the Senior Center when she was healthy. She also kept a list of those who needed prayer. We will miss her, and we hope that her loved ones can be comforted in knowing the caring way that she lived.

"We sorrow not for her who has gone
on to glory with a song;
For her whose body racked with pain
Has peace and comfort once again.
Our sorrow is for family here
Who held their loved one Oh so dear...."
I am praying for you as you face this trying time. May you find comfort in God's presence and in His Sovereignty.
