Melodina loved life. She asked that, should she die, we not hold a funeral or a memorial but she did agree to have all of us celebrate her life. In addition, Melodina was planning her 18th birthday party to be a fundraiser for the Sick Kids Foundation.
In keeping with Melodina's wishes and our needs we are holding a Celebration of Melodina's Life on what would have been her 18th birthday, Saturday, January 31st. It will be at St. George Hall, 665 King Street North, Waterloo, Ontario between 2:00 and 5:00 in the afternoon. Everyone who has been touched by Melodina and her life in any way is welcome.
Because of Melodina's wish to hold a fundraiser at her birthday party there will be a silent auction to raise money for the Sick Kids Foundation at the Celebration. You will find indications of the importance Melodina placed on the work of the Foundation elsewhere in this Blog. You may also wish to donate to the Foundation in Melodina's memory. You can do so on Mel's Tribute page on the Sick Kids Foundation website by clicking here.
We know from the kind and inspirational e-mails that we have received this week that Melodina touched many lives, some who knew her and many who had just heard her story. If Melodina has touched your life we would be honoured to see you again or meet you for the first time. Please come, if you can, to the celebration of her life.
