Melinda and I met years ago at one of the Payroll chapter meetings. Ours was a professional friendship, but I could always see and feel Melinda's personal and compassionate touch in all she did. Her battle with ALS gave me additional respect as she was always grateful, kind and a joy to be with, even in this struggle. As I remember Melinda, several phrases come to mind – a kind and gentle soul, dedicated in service to others, strong in spirit and heart and quietly brave. It was a true blessing to have Melinda in my life. Good bye my friend. Peace be with you always.
