Havent known Melinda long. But she has impacted our lives with just the couple of times we talked. What an amazing testimony, she had a beautiful attitude and love towards life, God and her children. May your legacy life on in them.

Our dear Daughter in the Lord, you will be cherished in our hearts till we all meet again in Jesus’s presence! You taught us so much, praying together! No distance between New Zealand & America when we prayed together! Praising our Heavenly Father for making you part of our family! See you later, in HIS timing❤️🙏🏼✝️

Melinda and her beauty as a truly special soul is reflected by the magnificent family she leaves behind... not least by her kind hearted, sensitive, trustworthy, and wonderful son Mikey... a man I have been blessed to have in my life since our school years as a precious friend. Sending much love to the entire family. This is truly a loss to the world. Melinda's kids, and grand kids are blessed to have each other and to carry with them the teachings of love, understanding, faith and forgveness she gave you all. Kia Kaha.
