On 4/11/26, my Aunt Frances and Uncle Peter experienced a tragedy that has brought our family to its knees. Melanie Rose Soto, their first born daughter and my cousin, passed away unexpectedly at the young age of 33. She was a loving sister to Kristen and David Soto, and a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. Melanie's sudden loss has left her family heartbroken and facing difficult decisions as they navigate this painful time.

We are raising funds to help cover the costs of funeral home services, burial plot and tombstone fees, and to provide a small amount of financial relief for living expenses while the family grieves. The support from friends, family, and the community will help Frances, Peter, Kristen, and David focus on honoring Melanie's memory and finding peace as they cope with her loss.

If you would like to support the Soto Family, your help would mean the world to them. Your generosity will allow them to grieve and deal with the loss of their sweet daughter in peace, without the added stress of financial burdens. Thank you for considering a donation and for keeping Melanie and her family in your thoughts and prayers.
