"We
were always
together ~ my beloved brother Jay and I were only 11
months apart"
The Story Behind Memories By Melodie
Melodie was born and raised
in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia and experienced a
childhood different than most - being brought
up close to the Funeral Industry. This early exposure
created an understanding of life's
fragility and uncertainty while instilling an appreciation
of family and friends. This was re-enforced later with
the unexpected tragic death of her brother, at the age of
19.
One year
later, also at the age of 19, Melodie's fortitude was again
challenged when she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. After
many years of recovery an awareness of her purpose came to
life.
It was
motherhood and life experience that inspired Melodie to
create meaningful treasures that symbolize those special
people in our lives.
