It is with a heavy heart that my family and I announce the passing of our mother Melonie this past Friday. It was an unexpected loss that none of us could prepare for especially so close to the holidays. As we grieve, we now know that she is at peace and no longer in pain. The love she had for her four boys is what will keep us all moving forward in this exceptionally tough time. As this was a complete surprise to all of us, any help is greatly appreciated but not required to aid in the unforeseen funeral expenses. Once we have a set day and time for the services, we will let anyone know who would like to show their love, pay their respects for our tragic loss, and celebrate the life of Melonie.
