Teenagers need to be aware that when they are behind the wheel of a
vehicle that they need to be responsible. The accident that took Melanie
from us was a reckless accident that should never have happened &
"forever" impacted many lives." Melanie's brother Kevin, gave his oldest
daughter the same middle name of "Grace" after his sister Melanie's
middle name, & in memory of his only sister. Melanie's wonderful sense
of humor, laughter, great love & tenderness can never be replaced.
Melanie was greatly loved & cherished. Every memory of her is held
