Well, Meem. I just picked up Angelle Darling from the beauty shop and she looks so cute. The cold weather you were asking for decided to show up this evening. I believe it's more than you were asking for. It's really cold and ice is sticking every where. I may get a "snow day" tomorrow, yeah! Love and miss ya.

We were best friends in the early 70s and even shared an apartment for a short time. After getting married we lost touch. Would have loved to have seen her again. My thoughts and prayers are with Melodye, Marshall and family.

Melodye- I am so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. Let us know if we can help in anyway!

Ok, Meem. Turkey is done, and dressing too. Miss your taste buds on the dressing though. Fruit salad is next to make. Taking a break for a cup of coffee, then finish up cooking around 1:30'ish. The table is set and oh so pretty. Meet me at 2pm so we can give thanks for our family and friends. And most of all that you are no longer in pain and are "in the arms of an Angel".

Giving thanks to our most gracious God,
your sister, Melodye

We are thinking of all of you during your time of sorrow, Marshall, Melody & families and as we reviewed the pictures,the last couple of years that she was in pain seemed to be so unfair for a person who loved "living" and loved her family. As this season of Thanksgiving draws near, we will cherish all the memories we have and very thankful that we have been blessed to have known her.

Keep smiling upon us Martha as you rest in the Father's house free of pain and worry! We love you.

The week of Thanksgiving is ahead of us, and I have been doing a lot of thinking. I'm thankful for knowing you, and I'm thankful God placed me right where I am to be able to help the people I love today. It is truly an honor and privilege Aunt Meem.

Love you

I have thought about so many things and so many memories we shared over the past few days. We have always lived so far a part, yet so close together. I will your smile, your laughter and unique way of looking at things, but most of all I will miss our talks. You always put everyone's happiness a head

Oh MEEM. You were my protector of many things. You kept my spirits soaring high when I was at my very lowest. You kept me from making mistakes and loved me like I was your very own daughter and I will greatly miss you for that. I will remember you always and forever. One day we will meet again. I promise to take care of your nephew, my husband Shaun Myers, til death do us part.

Shaun Myers

Meem, I can't believe you are gone. :( I was so blessed to have you in my life and I'm not sure how I'm going to make it without you. I do feel so lucky and happy that I will see you again, but just sad that it will be years, God willing, before we reunite.
I will love and cherish your memory forever!
