I had the pleasure of working with Melanie in several departments over the course of sevaral years at Arvato. She was a quiet, kind lady…a woman deeply proud to be a wife and, especially, a mother. It was obvious how much she loved her family and she was deeply respected by all who knew her. She will be sorely missed by all who had the honor to know her. My deepest sympathies are with her husband, son, and other family during this time. God bless you all…now and in the days to come.

Melanie will forever remain a part of our lives here in the Mastering Department where she worked with many of us for several years. I am blessed that God allowed our lives to cross.

My heart goes out to you during this time. I have wonderful memories of me and Melanie swinging and playing in Betty’s front yard. Years past and then we met again at the cancer center. Melanie was so lovable and always smiling. She will be missed.

I just wanted to say how very much Melanie was liked at Arvato. I was already working there when she came and got to train her for a short time.
She was the sweetest and kindest person I believe I have ever met.
Never had anything bad to say about anyone.
All of us that had the good fortune to meet her were truly blessed by getting to associate with one of God’s Angels.
My condolences goes out to you all.
You are all in my prayers.
Norman and Austin,
I worked with Melanie in the Master Vault at Arvato, she was such a blessing to me during that time. When I think of Melanie, I think of sunshine, and Sonshine, Jesus just always shined right out of her all the time. My fondest memory of our time working the vault, was the day she came in and told me that Austin had accepted Christ, we rejoiced together knowing that he had made, what we knew would be a great life choice! There is no way for me to know the grief that you are feeling now, but I am so thankful to know that we will see Melanie again when we all stand in the Sonshine of heaven.
Continued Prayers,
Darinda
My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time of loss. Melanie was a special person and will be greatly missed at Arvato.
The Lord has called one of his “Angel’s” home.
It is not for us to wonder why, only to rejoice her going to be with the Lord. The pain we feel we take to The Lord our God for he is the only one who can take it away. Praise the Lord for taking away Melanie’s pain and giving her everlasting life. We now pray for the family to find the strength to help them cope with her absents. Remember keeping eyes on the Lord we will see her again. Smiling, in all of her wonderful glory. I can think of so many things she is doing right now. Singing God’s praises in his choir to start. No more pain for one so sweet. Only the gift of everlasting life, with the Lord Jesus Christ.
May God Bless and watch over Melanie’s family.
I will be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.
Love you
Debra
