  • I never had the privlege of meeting Mrs. Melnyk, but her kindess & lovely manners prevailed regardless. After trying - with limited success - to find her a Gingerbread Man cookie cutter that was "just right", Karen appeared at my desk at work one day with a container full of Gingerbread Man cookies - a "little something" from her Mom to thank me for my efforts. There were so many, I had to share them with my co-workers, who were all pleasantly surprised & grateful for my good fortune - happiness & goodness shared!! Deepest sympathies to you Karen & your entire family! - Posted by: Peggy Wasylishen (CoWorker of Karen's) on: Nov 01, 2013
