Meloney was fun, loving, caring. She was giving and one of a kind for sure. She loved butterflies, flowers, and long car rides. She loved her family with all her heart. She could light up a room with her laughter. She had the bluest eyes you ever saw.
She embodied the color purple as it was her absolute favorite. She was a wonderful mother to two sons who are great men. They loved her very much. The closeness she had with them was a precious gift. The love between the three of them were a special bond that will be cherished forever.
She cherished her friends like her most precious processions. She cared so much and showed her love every chance she could. She was the best friend there was. While it’s hard to imagine life without her we know she would want us to smile, share stories, and keep humor alive!
