<div>Melanie was the light of our world, a beloved mother, daughter, sister, and friend who enriched so many lives. We lost her on April 15 after a sudden, serious illness, which she fought bravely through, delivering her second daughter earlier this year.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nothing was more important to Melanie than her family. Fortunately, her husband, Jake, and kids, little Sam and baby Drew, have support from loved ones all over the country. But Melanie's love is irreplaceable, the void of her presence unfillable.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Melanie and Jake deeply valued education. She would want Sam and Drew to have the same opportunity to pursue their passion in the classroom. You can show your support for her family by investing in the kids' future. Every dollar donated will go toward their college fund.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for celebrating Melanie's life with all of us.
