My deepest sympathies to the family of Melanie Huth. I have many memories of LaLa. She was a wonderful friend to both of my parents and great mother to her kids and to all of my brothers and sisters. The most cherishable memory is when she helped my family move from 4832 South Paulina to Christopher. I will never forget that day, June 21st 1975. She will always be remembered!
