MELITA GREEN

As a family counts its blessings, we are reminded of the many special people in our family that have made us who we are today. The greatest of these blessings is surely the time that we have been given to spend with the most wonderful person that God has given us, our mother. How fortunate we have been to have been loved by this wonderful lady, on April 15, 2017 our lives were changed forever when our mother, grandmother, great grandmother and most of all friend Melita Green aged 88 passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family.
