In Loving Memory of Vivian Laura Melo
January 24, 2024
Our hearts ache as we commemorate our beloved Vivian, who graced us with her fleeting presence. She brought joy and hope into our lives, if only for a moment, leaving an everlasting impact.
As we mourn the dreams we held for her, we find comfort and strength in knowing that her indelible spirit continues to flutter gently in our hearts. In her honor, we are compelled to make the most out of the time we have on this side of life, knowing that we now carry a part of her with us always.
The depths of grief we’ve experienced are profound. Nothing can prepare you for the pain associated with the loss of a child. That is why we’ve chosen Madeline’s Mission, a beacon of support for families navigating similar journeys, to help carry on Vivian’s legacy.
We invite you to join us in creating a lasting memorial – a butterfly in Vivian's name in Madeline’s Mission Children’s Memorial Garden. This garden will serve as a sanctuary for families who have experienced similar loss, a place of solace and remembrance where butterflies dance freely, carrying the essence of our precious children.
Your generous contributions will not only honor Vivian’s memory, but will also provide vital support to Madeline’s Mission, ensuring that other families grappling with loss find the comfort and assistance they need.
Together, we can create a legacy of love that transcends the pain of loss and celebrates the beauty of life, no matter how brief.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Michael & Emily Melo
