Our hearts are so saddened by Melanie’s passing. Life has lost a little bit of its luster now that this wonderful lady is gone. Dr Mack we are so very sorry for your loss and we would have come for the visitation but didn’t find out until it was over. We will miss her so very much.

So sorry for the loss of Melanie. Mack you and the girls as well as all of your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
I remember the day Bill and I met Melanie. I remember telling Mack then she was special. Over the years it proved to be so true. She had such a lovely spirit about her. It showed on her face, in her beautiful smile, and especially her eyes. It can be said with certainty that she loved people deeply from her heart and expressed kindness out of the overflow of that love. One does not meet many people in life that exemplify graciousness as Melanie did. We are grateful to have known her. Our prayers are with Mack, Amy, Laura, and her entire family. May God bless you and give you His peace. Vickie and Bill Startup
