    I’m so sorry for your loss. My heart aches for all Melba’s family and friends who will now grieve the loss of someone dear. My favorite memory of Melba is the cake that she made for Greg and I’s wedding. It was beautiful! I was so happy to have had her make it. She did a wonderful job!

    Sorry to hear that Melba passed away, such a nice neighbor to us when we were newly weds and then new parents. Can’t find cakes like she used to make. I smile when I think of some of the visits we used to have. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
