Melody handled all these hardships and curveballs life had thrown at her with strength and determination.

She was a second mom to many of Aurora's friends and family. Melody had such a special love for kids, and they were attracted to her. Melody had a smile that could light up any room, and a contagious laugh. Her door was always open and her home was a safe place for so many. Melody attended Aims Community College where she earned her Business Degree. She had a great sense of humor, was witty, and loved to make others laugh. We can still hear her cute animated laugh now.
