From Jill,
My heart is just breaking that I am writing this and I know you will feel the same.
Melinda lost her so courageous battle with cancer Monday morning at 7:45 a.m. Ken was with her at the hospital when she passed.
We all loved Melinda so much. Her positive attitude about everything, her bubbling personality, her radiant face - everything. She will be deeply missed. We are all better for knowing her.
Service arrangements are pending. I believe they will be at Mariners Church in Newport on or about 02/12/08. I will let you all know as soon as they are definite.
Please keep Melinda and Ken in your prayers.
Ken, my condolences go out to you and your family.
Ken:
The thoughts and prayers of my family have been and will continue to be with you and your family during this difficult time.

Ken, I know it was a great battle. Senior players all over Texas send their thoughts and prayers to you.
