Melba has been such a sweet and dear friend. Melba, Vanette and I sharing our enthusiasm and fun with cake decorating and friendships. Melba helped do my wedding cakes at times and it meant so much. Melba and Vanettas cake talents have been the tops!!!

We felt sad that because of covid we didnt get to go visit like we wanted to.

Strokes are so painful for families to watch. My twin had them too. Know it was so hard for them as they were always so independent ready to go amytime anywhere and busy and then confined to wheel chairs and memories.

My heart goes out to these wondeful caring daughters! Prayers and love to you!
She was always so proud of you!

in honor of Melba.

I send hugs and condolences to Sandy, Amy and Carlos for the loss of their "Dear One" I have known Melba since we were in second grade and lived next door for years. Melba's Mom, Winnie was fun and funny and she knew kids....She gave us freedom in her kitchen, brave lady.

One evening we were lobbying for the use of her Ford to go cruise the town square...making all kinds of promises. She looked at us and said.....Melba will tell lie and Doris will swear to it. She let us take the car with a time limit. Great memories of a longtime friend. RIP Dear Melba, you will be missed.

So very sorry to here of Melba’s passing. I worked with Jack in the training department of Texas Eastman and he was a hoot! He worked on several of our cars through the years. A great mechanic. Melba baked and decorated a beautiful wedding cake for my daughter’s wedding! She was so very talented. They both will be sorely missed here on earth. Our prayers are with the family at this time.

Melba was one of our longtime friends. Times spent with her and Jack are some of our fondest memories. Even though we didnt get to visit often in later years we always knew she was there for us. RIP sweet friend until we meet again.Love all of you!
