Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. Fargo Please accept our deepest condolences. We have only fond memories of your mom. She would always have a warm smile and she was always welcoming, to all of us neighborhood kids.

    What great times we had back then, growing up on 9th Ave.

  2. Mary and Callahan Family,
    We are very sorry to hear of Melba’s passing. She was a very kind and sweet woman. I have many memories of her. Whether it was at the Callahan house, our house or down at the lake, they were good times. I know she will be sorely missed by all who knew her! Our hearts go out to all of you!

  3. My heart goes out to you and your family. Melba was such a wonderful woman and so incredibly great to me for so many years. I will cherish my memories of her always. She was very proud of her family and raised some very wonderful children who grew into some tremendous adults who I am proud to say have been a very important part of my life. My children, Jaeden, Ean and Mea, her great-grandchildren, will miss her tremendously. You are all in our thoughts and in our hearts.

    “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.”

    God Bless all of you. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

    With Love,
    Kelly Baumgardner
