You were one of the kindest and sweetest persons I’ve ever known. I loved the closeness we had in Elementary School at Whittier Tech. I loved the ride on the bus to take you home up Conley’s Creek everyday. I couldn’t go up to Weser Gap without thinking about you. I remember our Senior Year, our trip to Washington and the one time we made out on Deep Creek. I wanted to bring that up to you the last time I talked to you about a week ago. It’s been great reconnecting with you the last few years and I hate I didn’t get to see your beautiful smile one more time and give you a big hug. Know that you’re loved and missed by many and the world is a little less bright without your light in it…

Dear Family,
I am so sorry! You're all in my thoughts and Prayers!
Melody was a true friend! If she liked you, she was a friend for life. If she didn't like you watch out! Loved that about her!! I always wished I could have her boldness!! Even just a little bit. We didn't see each other very often. Life gets in the way. We happened to meet up accidentally about 6 or 7 years ago and it was like old times. We talked for over an hour, we laughed. To me that is the sign of a true friend! I'll miss that!! Mel, tell Jennifer and Vikki hello for me. Heaven is getting sweeter all the time, my precious friends are there!! Love and Prayers for all of you, please know that she left a mark on a lot of people!

Where do I begin! I first met Mel about 7 or so years ago when I hired her for a front desk position at the Sleep Inn. I knew from that interview we would become more than just co-workers, we became friends. I knew no matter the day I was having she would always find away to make me laugh because let's be honest she was never afraid to say what was on her mind! Losing someone like her puts a hole in all our hearts. She loved her family with ALL her heart. We would always talk about her grandkids and how proud she was of her children. I will forever miss her and I pray that her family and friends are able to heal knowing she is at peace. Hell let's be honest, she is arguing with the Lord as we speak lol Fly high my friend!

Melody was a true gem with a heart of gold. I graduated with Melody, but one of my fondest memories was when she took my kids under her wing to make sure they had Christmas the year my husband was diagnosed with MS. She knew it was hard on me going from two incomes to one and she didn’t mind one bit to step in and help. I’ll miss her and prayers for peace and comfort during this difficult time for the family

We loved her dearly. Her love was always quoted I love you too the moon and back! She was always spending time with the grandbabies spoiling them to the core rotten. Saying it was her main job to do so and how well she did it with the biggest smile. I'm going to miss just taking off and going out to loaf around tennessee and asheville with her with no real plans of what we needed. I learned so many things from her strength was the biggest thing I know I learned. She was so strong and fought for family and friends no matter what. I have so many memories and pictures. She is so proud of her children becoming parents and raising their children with such strong amazing personalities. We miss you Mel.

Myron, Misty , Timmy ,Miranda & the rest of the family I am so very sorry for your loss . This probably feels like a knife through the heart and is pretty close. I will say what I think Mel would want me to say. You have composed yourselves and handled this whole situation with the grace she would have wanted you asked politely that people respect your privacy and I hope they have if I was closer I would bring food . Both of your parents are wonderful friends of mine . Melody and I didn't get so close until we became friends on Facebook she always seemed to know when I needed encouragement and would send it when I was getting ready to have my brain surgery she started a prayer circle. Melody was truly a gem of a friend . People have told me about how she's bought their kids Christmas presents when she knew they couldn't . Mel was all about family she loved her children and grands . She was so excited about Misty's bundle of joy on the way. Ok I've blabbed enough just know your mom left one hell of a legacy behind that anyone would be proud of and God definitely said welcome home thou good and faithful servant and Misty was there to meet her no doubt . Love and God bless you all. I don't have to have met you to love you . Misty Myron Timmy your dad has my number text me if you need anything .
Love Always
Ada

I am asking all my FB friends to pray for my friend Melody Parris one of the staff at the hotel where I stay when I go fishing in NC.
She passed unexpectedly yesterday or last night. I don't know any details. Like the rest of the hotel staff, she was both friend and family to me. We would chat often when I was in residence during the slow times at the front desk.
We could talk about many personal and private issues. When I arrived at the hotel early last month, she must have recognized my car when I pulled in. She was already at the hotel door to give me a hello hug.
Also please pray for the rest of the staff at the Bryson City Sleep Inn. They are a tight knit group and her loss is devastating to them.
All I can say is I have lost a treasured friend. My "happy place" in the mountains just won't be the same anymore.
UPDATE:
I just got some details from another friend at the hotel. Melody passed July 6th from what they are saying was a heart attack. She was in her early -50's if I remember correctly and in good health to the best of my recollection. One of our chats this last trip was about health issues after 50 and nothing of consequence comes to me at the moment.
