To the family of Melinda: So sorry for your loss. We somehow missed the notice earlier. I knew her through her mother & MacDowell Club. May they both rest in peace.
Dear Melinda’s family and friends, we will miss her. My sisters and I were childhood friends with Melinda. Our mother played piano duets with Mrs. Leeper and we girls became friends and had much fun! My husband Sam worked with Melinda and her husband Marcus. Our prayers are with your family.
There are no words for your private crucible. Melinda was a great friend.
