Help mels family give her a good send off

Auckland

On Sunday the 19th of February Melanie sadly lost her life.

Some of you will have had the joy of knowing her very well way back from the beam bar days . She was always the super crazy one with the it will be alright attitude. She had a hard time dealing with the death of her child and was quite often very up and very down but somehow saw the best of most situations.

I've set up the page to help Mels dad and family with funeral costs to give her the best send off anyone could give her and to help with ongoing day to day costs.

She loved her heavy metal and her cats a lot but she loved and missed her son the most. Infact more than anything else. Please help if you can and if your unable to help please share it around.
