Far out Mel, this is still all kinds of wrong…the world was a better place with your cheeky grin in it. Thank you for being you. And f**k cancer.
To Dave, Tils, Jack, Mel’s family and friends…there are no words, thinking of you.
Our hearts are breaking, our thoughts are with your family Dave Matilda and Jack. Mel you made a difference to so many people with your kindness, big heart and that radiant smile.
Your strength and determination was incredible.
You made such an impact on my daugther’s Jaz life, thank you.

Oh Mel, I was so sad to hear of your passing. I have so many cherished memories of you from our teenage years. You were such a solid friend. Dependable, mature, calm and grounded. I hope to continue your legacy by emulating your beautiful traits. My condolences to Sam, Gavin, David, Matilda and Jack.
Sadly missed by Allan & Raelene and family
