Deepest condolences to Melinda’s family and friends. I knew Melinda through primary school and would often chat with her during visits to the Woolworths deli. She had the biggest, brightest smile and was always so kind and happy. She will be deeply missed, and I will always cherish our school days together and our conversations.

I’m so grateful to have known Mel, even if only for a short time. She had such a kind and genuine nature, and she made everyone around her feel comfortable and included. Her talent for photography was truly special, it was always a joy to see the world through her lens.
Thinking of Mel’s family during this difficult time. It was clear how much you all meant to her, as she spoke about you with such pride and love.
Rest peacefully, Mel. I’ll think of you whenever I see a beautiful photo or a quiet moment worth capturing.
