I would like to express my deepest sympathy to Dave and family. I am going to miss Mel a lot since we were close co-workers and friends for many years. We really got to know each other well during this time since our workstations were right next to each other. I have many fond memories of Mel as she was a great person in every way. Mel was very kind, caring, compassionate and would always go out of her way to help others. Somehow, she always managed to put a smile on your face even when things were not going so well. Good bye my friend, I will be thinking of you. Your buddy Sean. - Posted by: Sean Sawh (Friend and Co-worker at the Canadian Grain Commission) on: Nov 14, 2012

I first met Mel some years ago at the retirement seminar and we ran into each other from time to time at the office. In 2010 our friendship became closer when we discovered we had an issue in common. We started to have regular lunch get-togethers. I can't say how much it meant to me to have Mel to talk to in those early months of uncertainty. Rest in peace, Mel, you made a difference. - Posted by: Gayle Chudzik (Friend, former co-worker) on: Nov 14, 2012

Please accept my deepest condolences. The way you spoke of your wife in the hospital, everyone knew she was a lovely person and was very loved.
