Miss Mely if it was not for you, I probably wouldn’t even be in college, and I also probably wouldn’t even take school as serious as I do. I appreciate everything you’ve done for me since I was a freshman in high school, to this last time we spoke. When we spoke last you told me I have some goals to work towards and I will not let you down. I love you so much and may you rest in peace❤️

Mely,

It saddens me to hear that we have lost a great friend. It breaks my heart that you and your little angel were taken too soon. I will always be grateful of having the opportunity to meet you at IUPUI. Working together in EEP and assisting with the First Generation Campaign, was filled with fun memories. I am glad we were able to bond over our wedding planning and how to create meaningful spaces for our communities on campus. The impact you made is greatly reflected with all the wonderful people you inspired! I will forever cherish our memories and conversations. Thank you for everything you did for our IUPUI family. With love, Gloria

My heart goes out to the family and friends. May God’s Devine peace wash over you, and may you be lifted in spirit knowing the Mely was/is loved by so many. I knew and worked with her only a brief period of time. And in that time, I witnessed a confidence, strengthen, and wisdom that commanded the respect and affection of many. She and her little one are in a far better place of peace and will be lasting memories of God’s goodness to us all. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
