We are so sorry for your loss and are praying for God's peace and comfort for all of Melanie's friends and family during this difficult time.
Dan Lawrence says
I am so sorry for your loss. Please accept my sincere condolences. Having a loved one pass away is one of the hardest things we have to deal with in this life. Please be assured that God does care and will remember your loved one. In times like these I find comfort from God's word the bible. Revelation 21:4 is particularly soothing where God says" and he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." Please remember and cherish the memories of you dear loved one and look forward to the time when death will be a thing of the past-just as God has promised.

Randy, Ryan & Margie -I can't think of good enough words to say to convey how deeply Melanie's loss is felt by everyone.Randy -I pray the comfort of the Holy Spirit over you in the days to come. I wish you could have had many more years of married life together with Melanie, and I pray the memories of the time you had will be a source of comfort to you. Ryan -stay close to GOD, that's what your Mom would say to you right now. I pray GOD's comfort and peace over you. Margie -what a woman of faith you are! May GOD the FATHER, SON & HOLY SPIRIT comfort you and give you HIS peace. We love you all, and we loved Melanie so very much. I'm trying to imagine what she is seeing & experiencing in Heaven right now, but all our imaginings come far short of the REALITY of heaven!Love, Mike & Cindy Z.
