Melinda was one of my favorite cousins growing up. I was always so happy to go and see her and her siblings. I couldn't wait to get there. Collectively, they were always referred to as "the kids". Since Melinda was closest in me to age, she was special. to me.

In later years, she attended my wedding after so many years of having lost contact with one another. I was so touched (and still am) that she chose to be with me on my special day. I will always remember her and what she means to me. Her laugh and gentle quiet of just being there will always be cherished. So much of her life seemed to be a struggle in many ways that never seemed to be what she ever deserved.

It is my prayer that she is now in God's hands and that I will again see her to share some giggles, some penny candy from the store we always went to and to her helping me jump across those ditches at the railroad tracks at her Clark Street home as kids.

Love you, Melinda

Your cousin, Krista
