Mi Mela, I love you with all my heart. It breaks my heart to know that I’m in this world without you. You have always been the light and strength of my life. It hurts to say goodbye and see you later because you are part of me, and I am part of you. You were loved by so many family and friends. Just know you will never be forgotten, and you will live in me forever. You taught me to be a better mother every second of my life, and even now. Mi bebé, te amo. You will be remembered FOREVER. Rest in peace up in the heavens, mi Mela. ❤️

Seeing you the last day you were alive was a blessing but being the last person you talked to was a better blessing. I want you to know that you were very special to me. Seeing that your not here anymore and looking at your empty seat in class hurts more than words can describe but I know that your happier now and one day we will meet again. I want you to know that since the day I meet you I knew we had a special connection and this year would’ve made it to 2 strong years of a good friendship. I want you to know that you will never be forgotten and you will forever be in my heart. There’s not a day that I don’t think about you and what I could’ve done differently to make you want to stay. The pictures that I put of us will always make me smile cause I see that now you are a beautiful angel now.

Little Mela,
I had the privilege of meeting you as a little girl and you became such a big part of not only my life but my children’s lives as well. We did everything together. All the birthdays, all the holidays, any little thing. Jayde and you causing trouble in the house. You both playing toys until you got old enough to not play with them and gave them away to Jayde. We’ve always made sure to have the kids together. This is what I will miss the most. Out of all the little ones, you were always the loudest and the funniest. You had the most beautiful, genuine smile around all of us. I pray that where ever you are up in heaven that you can feel all our love and are smiling down on us. I will cherish these beautiful memories for the rest of my life.
Rest peacefully sweet baby girl. ❤️

Mela,
You entered our lives when you were just a baby and since then you were unconditionally loved by all of us. There was never a time when I didn't see you screaming or yelling and having the time of your life. I will miss you and you'll forever live in my heart ❤️

Dear Mela,
It was an honor being part of your life. Although, we didn’t share many memories together I heard so many beautiful stories about you. I will never forget the first time I met you and the last time I saw you. I wish I got to spend more time with you. I know you’re looking over your family & will protect them always. I love you Mela ❤️

I’m so grateful for all the laughter and joy you brought me in every moment we had together. I’m going to miss your random weird catchphrases that never really made sense yet it made everyone laugh. I would do anything to play Roblox again with you, Ebony and Ryan, with all of us screaming of course. You’re so funny, amazing, and such a sweetheart. I love you so much Mela, make the sky look as beautiful as you are.

Dios me a dado muchas cosas importtantes en mi Vida y una de Ella’s fue averte conosido ati auntque no lleves muestra sangre te hemos Amado como si lo fueras
Desde que te conosimos supimos que eras una Niña muy especial y Dabas amor sin pedir nada a cambio tenemos muchos recuerdos con tigo
Pero el que mas recuerdo es cuando te conosimos llegaste a nuestra casa y recuerdo perfectamente que llevabas un vestido morado y tus zapatos de plataforma negros y te veias hermosa alli empeso nuestra historia de amor entre la familia Gutierrez y la familia Rizo te nos adelantaste pero queda otra parte de ti que es tu mama y tu hermanito te prometemos que los estaremos cuidando y como te dije por ultima ves que nos veremos en el cielo pronto Dios viene por nosotros. Te amamos Mela y siempre te llevaremos en nuestro corazon ❤️❤️

It breaks my heart that mela isn’t with us anymore but she will live on in everyone’s hearts. I wish I spoke to her before all of this but sadly I didn’t but I hope she knows that I love her and that she was amazing and very beautiful but at least she is happy and being a beautiful angel like she deserves but you’ll be miss in everyone’s heart. I love youuuuuu mela❤️❤️❤️

So many memories with you my beautiful Mela. May God continue to take care of you, you’ve brought so much light into this world and you’ve already made a huge impact on those around you. It’s been a blessing to be a part of your life. Your jokes , our convos and all the fun you always wanted to have. You are so smart, beautiful and definitely adventurous. I am so proud of the person you became. You are so special and you always knew how to keep us laughing. You now watch over us my beautiful little angel and I will make you proud. I will be the best version of myself and show love just the way you did. I Love You Mela! And I will miss you.
Love,
Jose ❤️❤️

Q: What was one of your favorite qualities of Melanie?
A: My favorite qualities of my sister was that she was always caring to each one of us. she made us have good laughs.And one of her bad qualities was how she would handle sugar because even a gram of sugar would make her act like a crack head but even those moments were amazing.

I’m going to miss being at work and then receiving random messages asking me if she could eat a buldak noodle or literally anything in the pantry. I’m going to miss coming home to her and seeing her sleeping in the funniest positions. I’m going to miss hearing her laugh while I’m making myself dinner. I’m going to miss hearing her voice. I will always consider Melanie as the sister I never had. I will always hold you closest to my heart Melanie <3 I will make sure to live a full life just for you & I will show you what can be accomplished in a lifetime. I love you and I’ll always miss you, every single day. You are the biggest blessing to enter all of our lives. I am grateful to have been your favorite cousin and to have been part of your beautiful life <3.
I love you, forever & always my pretty girl <3.
