Dear Johnny & family, I'm so sorry we didn't hear of Melia's passing in time to attend her service. I hope you know how much we all love you and how sorry we are to hear that she had passed. Please phone @ 607-677-0508 or e-mail @eldredhitchcock@yahoo.com Love, Donna, Barb. Bev. Brenda & Brett and families

My heart goes out to Melia`s family during this time of loss. May sweet memories flood your heart and mind to comfort you now and in the days ahead. I remember sitting by Melia in first grade and through the years when we happened to run into each other I was always met with a smile. Thoughts and prayers and condolences.

Dear Melia and Family, I do wish that I could be at your memorial, but sadly, some people have decided that my family should not be allowed to participate. I remember our sons laughing, having fun playing together years ago. I remember how much you loved working with your preschoolers and I loved my 1st graders. We shared silly songs, projects and stories about our "School Kids" and our dream jobs. More recently, we found out that we have the same rare disease that has no cure. Melia, we are truly more alike than different! We love you. Your sister< Larinda Dyson Kaufer Nephews: Seth, Adam & Anneliza, and Aaron Kaufer
