Dear friends and family,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved Melanie. After fighting some health issues valiantly over the past few years, she passed peacefully and surrounded by family on Wednesday, September 24.

As we lay Melanie to rest and go about honoring her life, we are asking for financial support during this difficult time. We are initially looking to cover $1950 for the cost of burial. Any additional funds raised will go towards a memorial we are planning in nyc for the spring. Melanie specifically requested a party so think dim sum, music, and great company.

We thank you all deeply for how you loved Melanie and nurtured her spirit throughout her life. Any support you can provide to honor her life is greatly appreciated.

Signed,

Her cousin Cassandra and her brother Kroy
