Ratliff, Carmela "Mel"

Mel was such a wonderful neighbor and friend! What a precious Angel ... She is back with her Love, Gene! Prayers and love to Lori and family!! May your memories bring you comfort!

Lori I am so sorry for your loss. I remember your parents and you from Jefferson school when you started in kindergarten. Even after your kindergarten year your parents were always so sweet to me. You were the light of their life and they were always telling me stories about you. They were so proud of you, as am I. It sounds like you’ve been taking care of your mom for a few years. I know your heart aches but treasure your memories and let them warm your heart. I will be keeping you in my prayers. God bless you sweetie. Daria Wood

Mel and Gene were wonderful neighbors and welcomed us to the neighborhood with open arms in 2006. She was always looking out for our kids and our naughty little dog that would run the streets when I went to work. We are sending all our love and prayers to her family.
