We all know how much Melissa loved to chat on the phone—and how lucky she was to have friends scattered across America. To honor her memory in a way that reflects her spirit and keeps us all connected, we’re organizing an online memorial via Zoom. This will be a time for us to come together—from Chapin, Greencove, California, and beyond—to share stories, laughter, and memories of Mel. She was all about having fun, and I truly believe she would love knowing we’re remembering her with joy and love in our hearts. Please join us as we celebrate Melissa’s life and the unforgettable moments we shared with her. September 21st 8PM EST Looking forward to being together—even virtually—as we remember our dear friend. With love, Suzanne
