Melinda worked for a cause...not for applause. She lived life to express...not to impress. Melinda didn't strive to make her presence noticed...she made her absence felt. I am lucky to have known such a caring and kind woman, and am proud that she gave her time, talent and resources as a cherished member of the Big Brothers Big Sisters Board of Directors.

I will miss Melinda's smile, her hearty laugh and her sense of humor, but most of all her kindness and her friendship. My memories include our trips to Mexico, Florida and Las Vegas and countless get- togethers through the years. She will not be forgotten and no one will ever fill her shoes.
She was one of a kind and I feel privileged to call her my friend.
