Saw a beautiful woman the other day who looked just like Melinda. I just sort of stalked her at the store I was shopping. It brought back the wonderful friendship that came from helping Melinda decorate her home. I admired my friend for her with, intellect, kindness and understanding. We spent so much time getting to the core of ones being. Just need to spend time looking back with a smile and love.

I was sadden to hear of Melinda's passing. I had the wonderful experience of meeting and serving with Melinda when she was on the faculty of the Joseph Business School at Living Word Christian Center. She always had a warm smile and a kind word of encouragement to share. She will truly be missed. To her son and family, you will be in prayers.
