This has left hearts broken and minds in disbelieve . Melina had a stepfather Jimmy Lawson who loved and cared for her all of her life that she was able to remember.And an estranged Family. Melina had a husband and two daughters , thousands of friends that became her family over the years, her good friend Margret who stepped in as a mother over the years when Melina needed a mothers help, Margret was just a phone call away. I her Grandmother lived in California, some 2800 miles away. Thank you Jimmy and Margret. Melina was loved by so mane wonderful friends I was amazed at the sight of so many people.
