    Dear family so sad . Very hard when you lose someone so special to you. Celebrate all the wonderful memories you will always have.
    We were classmates . Sadly as time and family grew we lost touch. So thrilled she was at our class reunion. Memories are the greatest. God Bless you all. Hugs Rosemary Verhille Bates

      My first school nurse. She took amazing care of me for many years. Later in my life I knew she was a special angel sent to my family.

    Sam and family, I am saddened by your grandma’s passing. She was a kind friend and neighbor. I cherish the afghan that she crocheted for me. I think of you and her as I enjoy it so much during the winter months. May fond memories and knowing that many share your sorrow comfort you as the passing of time lessens the hurt of losing her.

    Brian, Lucy, Sheila and all of Melinda’s family, we are so sorry to hear of her passing. I first met Melinda when I returned to teach at WPHS in 1975. My first little classroom was next door to her office, and she became a good friend. She was a dedicated professional who cared deeply about the students she served. My love and prayers are with you; may God bless and comfort you.

    She was such a kind person. She was the nurse when I attended classes at Carmichael School, and always took such good care of us when we needed first aid or we were sick.
    My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
