Melody will be greatly missed. She was the one who taught me that if you throw spaghetti on the wall and it sticks then it’s done. I love all of you and miss you greatly.
You were a sweet lady. You were always a polite sweet lazy. You will be missed. Rip

R.I.P. momma, I love n miss u sooo much n yes I’m just now getting to respond on this bc I was never told this even exsited . I miss everything about you n even though we faught alot, I would not have asked for a better mother. And u’re right my mother’s smile was just like seeing a butterfly pass by. She was always happy for most of the time however she loved yelling at us when we did wrong. Just to hear her voice again I would stand there w a smile n a hug n kiss to hear her yell out to us. I will never forget u no matter what.
