• My heart and soul was torn in a million pieces when I received the news that you were gone, Melody, My beautiful gentle precious soul. I miss your smile, your music and your love that you showed to everyone. You loved cats, and you really missed your cat Cocoa. Life will never be the same without you. Love you my baby girl Melody. - Posted by: Valerie Breau - St. Germain (mother) on: Mar 05, 2015

• We went to Churchill High together, I remember her well as beautiful young woman. We became good friends as our lives took us into young adulthood in Winnipeg's Osborne Village. I read about her later years in Winnipeg and wished I could have reached out, I will always remember her beautiful smile. Guitars are a big part of my life these days and I'll be thinking of her, and her gentleness as I practice & play. I write this with a very sad heart as I learned of your passing. Your now in a kinder & softer place, with your loving dad, a friend from the "Peg" - Posted by: kent munro (school friend) on: Feb 05, 2015

• I only just now (12/4/14) heard about Melody's passing or I would have posted this sooner. I cannot express my sadness in words. Although it's been many years since we were in a relationship, I feel the loss as intensely as ever. We met in 1976 when she and Chet came to Nashville to visit her dad, Lenny. I was very close to her dad, he was my mentor (I'm a guitarist as well) and a dear friend. So when Melody came to town, we met and immediately became close, and fell in love within a week or so. We were inseparable from then on and it was one of the happiest summers of my life. When she had to return home to Winnipeg we wrote letters literally every single day and talked on the phone constantly. I soon went up to Winnipeg to be with her and we stayed at her mom's, who was very gracious to me. Chet was a great guy too and we were good friends. We spent New Years together there and I stayed quite awhile. Not long after I returned to Nashville Mel moved down with me. Well, there isn't room for our whole story but the main thing is that we loved each other so much. We had around 2 wonderful years together and also reunited around 1983 and she stayed with me in Nashville again, Chet too. We never actually broke up, rather it was a matter of life's hardships and personal problems (my own mostly) pulling us apart. But through the years we had some contact and I wish we had much more. Even though so many years have passed I still feel the special love we shared and recall how beautiful it was... and how beautiful she was and always will be.

• I remember seeing Mel in our younger years and thinking how pretty she was. This during the time they lived in Fort Rouge. I only got to know Melody in these last 2 and a half years and we had some great talks about all kinds of topics. She shared memories of her life before her illness took over and cherished those times spent with family and friends. We went for drives, make up shopping and lunch once at The Jolly Mug." One of her favorite places to go. Although she never quite got my name right I knew what she meant when she called me Ayla. Will miss our talks and her stories about her cats and how much she loved them and wished everyday that she could have another. Rest in Peace Mel. No more pesky voices to bother you. Will miss your perkiness and strong spirit. Don't worry I'll take care of Pep for ya too. XoXo - Posted by: Guylaine Roy () on: Dec 03, 2014

• I really will miss our beautiful Melody. Sometimes she would call me in the morning saying "Hello Sweety Pie' What are you doing today? I love to visit her and her Mom (my sister Valerie) and make them a casserole or two every week. Sometimes we would just sit and visit. I loved to celebrate her birthday with nice sparkly jewelry gifts and she loved them. She had a rough time at times and we wouldn't hear from her for days. Sometimes she would joke about the "uninvited voices". Love you my sweet niece and I will love and miss you forever!! - Posted by: Judie St.Germain (Aunty Judie) on: Dec 02, 2014

• Ah Melody, I called her Snowwhite as she had such beautiful pale skin and flashing dark dark brown eyes and dark hair. She was beautiful, inside & out. She is with her dad now and I know she is happy and at peace. Take comfort Val and Chet in knowing that. Stay strong for each other. Always in my prayers the two of you. Have been for a long long time. Hugs - Posted by: Rosalie Larcombe (fRIEND OF THE FAMILY) on: Dec 02, 2014

• I always remember her sitting at the corner table at the Jolly Mug having her lunch. She was always pleasant and said hello and asked how we were doing. She sometimes sat outside with us after having her lunch and talked with us. My prayers and thoughts are with her family. - Posted by: Debbie () on: Dec 02, 2014

• I met Melody at a park in Winnipeg while I was playing my guitar. She walked up wearing a wonderful sundress. We chatted and she said I looked like her dad. It turns out her dad was Lenny. This was in the 70's and I have thought of Melody every day since. R.I.P. Melody - Posted by: Arden W. Whalley (Bill) (A memory that cared.......) on: Dec 02, 2014

• Our sincerest condolences go out to my cousins, Val and Chet. I babysat Melody when she was just a wee girl. She was so adorable and beautiful like a little porcelain doll. A little Lady always. Melody was always respectful to everybody and full of smiles. Even though I am her cousin, she always called me Aunty Barbara when I saw her at her Grandma's or talked to her on the phone. She would ask me how I was and what was new. We would chat and have a few good laughs. I will miss you dearly Mel and remember you always. Love Aunty Barbara. xxxooo. I share your tears and your loss Val and Chet. Bless you all and rest in peace Melody. - Posted by: Barbara and Dan Kinnear (Cousin) on: Dec 01, 2014
