Connie and Vickie, our sincere sympathies to you and your family at the loss of your sweet mother, beautiful inside and out. My earliest memory as a child moving into that farming neighborhood was of this kind and gracious lady. May fond memories be with you always.

Connie and Vicki and families....so very sorry about the loss of your wonderful mom....what a sweet and kind lady....

You are in my thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time...

With my deepest sympathy...

Jan Geninatti

To Connie and Vickie and Family .... we are sorry for your loss and will be thinking of you in the days ahead. Hold your memories close.

Melba will always be in my heart. She befriended me when we first moved to Carlinville in 1977. I was a young mom away from my family for the first time. She "adopted" me, not so much as a mom but as the best friend I ever had. I looked up to her, and she was always there to give me a bit of advice and oh so much love. I will miss her so much. My sincere condolences to Vicki and Connie and all the family members. She loved you all so much, and was a role model unsurpassed. God bless you as you hold her close in your memories.
