My heart breaks at the loss of my dear cousin. Although I have not physically seen Melva since she was a little girl, we talked so often on Facebook. Before her illness, we had made plans for her to visit, and were both excited at the prospect. She was a joyous, beautiful young woman who resembled my mom greatly, who loved her family and shared many joys of the children of her brothers an sisters. I know how important her family was, how much she cherished them all. They were the center of her world. I was deeply saddened by her loss and send condolences and deepest sympathies to my dear aunt, all her loving siblings and too all who loved her. (I dreamed about her last night, and found this obit, just so I could say goodbye and let her family know she is not ever gone as long as she is on our minds and in our hearts)
