Condolence: Dear Rod, I have just discovered today that Melanie passed away last November. I am so very shocked and sorry to learn this terribly sad news. I have such fond memories of her as a vibrant and gracious woman from the time I worked with you in Newcastle. I remember staying with your family to go night skiing at Kirby and how warmly welcome Mel made me feel. Please accept my deepest condolences, I feel terrible that I did not know earlier, I would have attended her memorial service out of respect and affection for you both. Again, please accept my sincere sympathy, Warm Regards, Lynn

Condolence: Dear Rod and Family,
It is with such sadness that I learned today of Melanie's passing. Melanie was a wonderful person who was so full of enthusiasm and joy. I can't imagine how difficult her loss is for all of you and for those in her community who loved her so dearly. Our deepest sympathy is extended as we remember a life well-lived.
Fondly, Caroline and Brian

Condolence: My dear friend, Mel. I shall honour you each day by keeping active & fit, by serving my community, and most of all, by honouring my grandchildren, my children, and my family.

Condolence: Dear Rod and family
We are very sad to hear of Melanie's death. It is particularly sad, as she was full of life and had more things to do. Her accomplishments are endless...your four accomplished children, her support of St. George's, her charities, her amazing bridge skills. I still think of the delicious Christmas Cake I won at the Silent Auction for OSPS, with icing!and packaged perfectly in a Christmas tin. Keep well. Love the Shrives

Condolence: Sincere condolences to Rod and family. Mel touched so many of our lives and influenced so many people and projects! I consider my life to be better for having known her.

Condolence: Allison and Liam and kids and to Rod: We are very sorry for your loss.

Condolence: Rod and family,
Our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to you!
Melanie's sparkling eyes, beautiful smile and sincere love of life, people and nature, brightened every space she entered.
Mel genuinely made a difference in this world and the lives of everyone she touched.
Love
Vaughan and Betsy
