Contributor : Teresa Breedlove-McDanile: Mot My beautiful daughter will always be rememberd for being a compassionate, caring and a loving person...always willing to help the underdog and so full of life. She had a consederable amount of family that was crazy about her: parents, grand parent, uncles and aunts, cousins and friends that will miss her as much as I will. She is now at peace and is probably hoping that all of us remember her as a caring person. Jesus is smiling on this child of God. Contributor : Sarah Breedlove: Cousin Melody was an amazing person loved by so many people. She was so beautiful and vibrant, tough, but sweet. I always looked up to her,and will carry her with me always. I know she is now with the Lord and watching over all of us. Contributor : Susan Calvert - Aunt I was 7 years old when I became Melody's Aunt. I can remember thinking I am sure a young Aunt. I can remember when her and her Mother moved out to Houston and Melody would come for visits. Someone would go to the airport to pick her up. The excitement on those weekends were high. She enjoyed coming and we all loved having her. As with Grandparents house when it was time for her to go she didn't want to. We would miss her till the next visit. When she was older she began making her own decisions and choices some good some bad, but overall she was a good person. Melody knew what she wanted in life and in some ways she may not have been able to achieve them due to the obstacles that stood in her way, but overall she was a good person with a good heart. When I lived in Waxachie and was low on money, she drove out and helped me out. During the talk we had she told me that my oldest would be ilke her in ways. I can see a couple of ways, they are both stubborn and when someone did them wrong in some way they wouldn't speak to that person. Both of my kids thought Melody was stern. The reason why they thought that was because she would correct them and let them know whay they were doing was not nice. She didn't raise her voice that I recall but she did get their attention and made them think of what they were doing for which they didn't want to hear. For anyone that knew Melody you could see the love she had for the kids, all she wanted for them was to have a good life. She is with the Lord now watching over them to help guide them. Melody will always have a special place in my heart to love now and always. We will miss her dearly. May she Rest in Peace. Contributor : Margaret McDaniel-Roberts Melody will always be in my heart, thoughts and prayers. Melody will be missed but never forgotten by those who knew and loved her. She now with our Lord and peace be with her. Contributor : Racheal Breedlove-cousin Melody was the first cousin I had, and I believe with all my heart that she is now another gaurdian angel to all who loved her. She was a very beautiful lady anyone who ever met her knew she was a wonderful,fun loving person.May she rest in peace with the Lord. Contributor : Breanna McDaniel-Cousin I remember the days when I was such a pain in her neck. Always wanting to be just like her. I dont believe she knew how much I looked up to her. Melody indeed was a beautiful woman, inside and out. Anyone who knew her could see that. I am no good at this stuff so below is a poem I wrote just for her. Melody was a very strong individual and she will always hold a place in my heart and in my life, as so many of us did with her. Words Cant Expain Head pounding eyes red and swollen My cheeks stained with tears of pain and sarrow Thoughts of why race through my mind Im strong though not today for my heart has fallen so far away I still cant beleive its true How does one decide to do the things they do when deciding on life or death If I could turn back the hands of time, Id go back to when things were fine. And if they werent Id find the path to change them that way. In a heart beat Id heal the open wounds as if they were never there. So there would be no more confussion and no more lies. Just compassion and understanding no matter the trials and tribulations. Now there in heaven she is at peace this I know. But even still here I sit in disbelief trying to be strong with my head held high for the family who rarely sees me cry. She is reading this now as i type and i know she is proud with all her might. This ones for you RIP Melody Ann McDaniel 10-16-1972 through 2-8-2007 We love you always and forever!!! Contributor : Debbie McDaniel - aunt Melody was a person who loved the outdoors. She once helped me plant a oleander plant at her grandmothers house and when we were done she told me it felt good to sweat. She was a person with a good heart and will be missed. She will always have a special place in my heart and may she rest in peace. Contributor : Teresa McDaniel-Mother If Tomorrow Starts Without Me A few weeks ago my daughter committed suicide by hanging herself. She was also a victim of Chrystal Meth. She was very despondent and was no longer the person her family and friends knew and loved. . Melody’s Song If tomorrow starts without me; and I'm not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today, while thinking of the many things, We didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, As much as I love you, And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, that an angel came and called my name, And took me by the hand, and said my place was ready, In heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, for all my life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for, so much left yet to do, it seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought of all that we shared, and all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, Just even for a while, I'd say good-bye and kiss you and maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized, That this could never be, For emptiness and memories, would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss some tomorrow; I thought of you, and when I did, My heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, From His great golden throne, He said, 'This is eternity, And all I've promised you.' Today your life on earth is past, but here life starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, But today will always last, and since each day is the same way, There's no longing for the past. So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, For every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart ' Author Unknown Contributor : Hugh April 14, 2008 Dearest Melody, I only got the news yesterday. So very, very sad. Although the last time I saw you was many years ago, you’ve never been far from my thoughts and heart. And every time I hear certain music or see a woman twirling her hair around a finger, you come into sharp focus. There have always been two of you fighting for control. One was warm, loving and tender; and the other lonely, fearful and beset by demons. I often have wondered ... and feared ... who would win. To my sorrow, I now know. It’s a loss for all of us who know and love you. I had always hoped to see you again, sooner rather than later. Now, it will have to be later, but I will continue to hold you in my heart and prayers until that time. All my love, my dearest Melody. ....Hugh. | ||||||||||||||
