Thankful to have spent your birthday with you last year. You were so happy to see us. I remember picking the prettiest bouquet of roses to give you, even though they had no scent at all. What's weird is that when I set them up, the scent took over your room.

Death takes the body.
God takes the soul.

Dear Melba, I already miss you so much. I love you more than anything and always will. You fought so hard to stay with us and I know you’re in a better place now. The memories I share with you I’ll never forget. You taught me so much to my simple manners to becoming the person that I am today and to strive to be a better one everyday. Couldn’t have been more blessed to have had you in my life
Love you always, Angie

We are praying for Melba’s family and friends during this difficult time. Melba was a fighter and didn’t give up during her numerous challenges during the last couple of years. She was loved dearly by her family, and we know she will be greatly missed. Rest with the angels, Melba.
