Dear Aunt Melva is up in heaven with my beautiful mother, Betty, and gramma Ethel, probably talking and laughing about the good times and knowing that we will miss them forever. Aunt Melva always made me feel grown up and special. Reunited with the love of her life Uncle Ed at last. Until we meet again, love you and miss you. Sarah beth.
