Gary and family… So very sorry for your loss. Believe me, I know how you’re feeling and my heart is going out to all of you. I will keep you in my prayers and very close to my heart. Much love,

Dear Gary & Sons,
I was so shocked and sad to learn of the death of my cousin, Melody Dillon Newcomb. I knew that she was ill but I sure didn’t expect this outcome so soon.
I wish that I would have gotten the chance to meet her before she passed as it is a long awaited dream of mine to go to Roanoke, Virginia and get to meet my paternal cousins.
You know that God only takes the best and apparently He wanted her up in Heaven to be with Him and also the rest of her family.
May she Rest In Peace and we sure know that she is not suffering anymore. She now has no pain and is in a much better place.
Our family has another angel looking after all of us.
