To: Bob and all of Melony's precious family, Our hearts were so sad when we heard of Melony's passing, but the sadness was for you, her family, and all of us that loved her here on earth. Knowing that life goes on without her is hard, as she always brought such joy and love to everyone around her. We were in Kent's and her small group many years ago, and their class was a joy to be a part of. Since that time, we have been a part of her Bible studies at different times and also sat under her teaching periodically in our current small group. Her way of presenting a study was so captivating; God truly gifted her with the ability to reach hearts and souls with His word. She was naturally funny, and brought many tales of her own life's adventures into her teaching. What a great mom she was to her own children, Hunter, Zach, Molly, Sam and Daisy, as well as all the children Kent and she fostered! She left you all such a legacy of love, joy and Christian service. I know Jesus welcomed her home and said, "Well done, my good and faithful servant!", and I know the joy of seeing Him face to face made everything worth it all for Melony. She is making heaven even more beautiful with her colorful artwork and even more joyful with her beautiful smile! One day, she will run to greet you when it's your turn to meet Jesus, and you'll never be apart again! We pray that this truth comforts you and eases the grief of your loss here on earth. We will be praying that God wraps his arms around you all, and that you feel his presence strongly, comforting and giving you peace.With our love and prayers, Gary and Sandy Cole
