Melanie made a huge positive difference in my life back in 1984 when at a Jafra convention in San Diego, out by the pool...she invited me to attend Lifestream Seminar in Chicago. My life has been a beautiful journey of personal and spiritual growth ever since. Thank you dearest Melanie!

I just learned of the passing of my friend Melanie-I will never forget the special lunches she prepared and also her kindness to me when my son Travis died suddenly- she was total class and gracious. My heart goes out to her son John, who she spoke about with great pride, and to Paul and her favorite kitty pal, Miss Daisy. Rest in Peace Melanie - I will remember you with a smile on my face-
