My condolences to Mel's entire family. I have been in a state of dis-belief since hearing the news of Mel. I so recall my first day of work back in 1989 when I showed up and the boss wasn't there but Melanie was there - and we worked together ever since! I could name thousands of creative campaigns that she created. She loved to show me her most recent idea and would do a face pump with her knee up in the air when I would give the go to implement. My career would not have been what it was without Mel. She did little things that many did not even know about. Like when I brought my son to work when he was 3 and she held him tight in her arms as we raised our Mayor in a loud hot air balloon that scared him. Then it was years later when he came for "bring your child to work day" and I had some serious meetings and so it was Mel who took him to spend the day - of course when she ran out of ideas she took him to her favourite magazine shop down town and she laughed about how he sat on the floor to read. Mel was always up on health issues and we shared many discussions. She always was giving me tips on doctors and cures for both me and my daughter. She was truly concerned for us. She was there to provide her support at both my parents memorial services and I recall my last hug from her when she helped organize my own retirement this past March. We talked often of our retirement. We had gone to a concert together and out for dinner, after I had moved downtown, and retirement was the top of our goals and conversation. I will miss Mel and the opportunity that we would have had to enjoy going out together during retirement. It seems strange that she passed of a similar health issue that she warned me about. I know Mel's faith was strong and that she will continue to watch over all of us and our health issues - just like she always did! My heart goes out to Mel's family who she so very much loved!
