R.I.P. Melinda you are free from your pain and suffering we love you. Our thoughts and prayers are with JOE & James. God Speed.

Very sorry for the loss of Melinda

I just wanted to say. I grew up with the Shapley’s in Somerton. And we were always at a party. Or on our way to one. Last time I spoke to Melinda I was trying to get her and Suzie to come to church with my family. Only because of god. Am I still alive. I loved them all and I’m sorry they left us so soon but I pray we all will meet again may god mend the hearts of the family. We used to drive around the neighborhood with Susie in her red nova. We drank and would smoke go to the river etc. sometimes innocent fun leads us into a world we can’t escape. I will miss them all god bless all the family especially the children. They were a cool family to be around. Sincerely Jaime Zappas.
