“Melinda was always so loving to us when we were children and young adults, we were very lucky to have her in our lives. I love the picture you used on the program, she looks beautiful and is happy to be smiling down and reminding us from heaven: “Don’t let anybody spoil your joy!” Sending my love and condolences to her friends and family, Signe Shackelford”

“Melinda brought love, humor, and comfort to our family since I was a child, and I am so thankful she's been part of my life. She had to put up with a lot of me around the house, but we had some fun and good memories. She was a strong and kind woman who provided great perspective on what's important in life and I will miss her a lot. My heartfelt sympathy to Melinda's family and loved ones. Love, Hilary Shackelford (Often referred to as Margaret by Melinda :) )”

“Melinda was a very big part of our family as I was growing up, and I am grateful to have had her in our lives. She was a force of nature! A strong example of a woman who didn't hesitate to speak her mind and made sure we all understood our own value. She comforted us when we were upset, encouraged us to stand up for ourselves, and urged us to be kind. May she rest in peace, and may her memory be a blessing to her family and loved ones. With love, Lizzy Shackelford”
