Tina Pittman says
I’m so upset to find this out on FB. Mel and I met each other at a very low point in both of our lives and became the best of friends. The distance we lived apart kept us from seeing one another but we stayed in touch by internet. I was present when they told her she lost her previous husband. I seen strength in her that’s rare in someone who’d had so much loss. I saw her pick herself up, find Rodney and move on with life. Just built that Beautiful new home and life. I’m so upset her life has been cut short! God bless you guys! Rodney, Samantha, and Eric, I know you guys were so loved by her! I was so happy to hear how she’d found happiness again! I’m so sorry ????
