This is how Melanie lived life:

Live Life

Life is not a race – but a journey.  Be honest, be thankful, say I love you, great job, ‘thank you’ to someone each day.  Go to church to say a prayer for the Lord gives and the Lord takes away.Love your life and what you have been given. Search for your purpose and do the best you can.

Appreciate the little things in life and enjoy them.  Forgive, it frees your soul. Recognize the special people in your life you have been blessed to know.

            Laugh often, value your family and enjoy the moments God has given you.
