Melinda was a woman of faith who went to be with our Lord, Thursday, February 12, 2009. As an active member of Living Stone Christian Church she truly loved the Lord with all her heart. Melinda loved and cherished her son, Aaron “the apple of her eye”. With her son she traveled the world to places such as Australia, Fuji Islands and Western Europe. Her love of snow skiing, tennis and golf kept her very active. She loved and valued her family, always putting them first in her life. Her love of learning begane with her attaining a BS Degree from Western Michigan University followed by an MBA from the University of Chicago. Melinda found joy in helping others by investing in their lives. This attitude led to her career passion of Executive Coaching/ Consulting and ultimately to creating her own firm: Excellent Solutions. Melinda has left a legacy of doing good for others in both word and deed in all her relationships. We are thankful for the blessing of Melinda in our lives and pray that God’s light will shine upon her for eternity.
