Melanie was the Washington County "Young Woman of the Year" in 1993. On June 9th the (now once again) Jr. Miss Program gave a scholarship in Melanie's name and showed this video clip.

Last Tape-April 2007
*This clip is so special to me. I suppose it might have something to do with the nature of my job. When dealing with the death of a loved one most people would ask...Who do you think was the last person they talked to? What was the last song they listened to?, but me...I ask??? What was the last thing they filmed?? What was the last thing that was so precious to them, that they took the time to get out the video camera. For Melanie, it was simply the everyday theatrics of her children & anyone that knows our family, knows that Melanie's kids were theatrical if they were anything. Madeline and David were absolutely hysterical! Without further ado, here it is-the final footage.
Jesus Loves Me-2003
Madeline was the little star in our family for sure. Here's a clip of her singing "Jesus Loves Me". I think I filmed this clip in 2003, so she would have been four years old.
Charlotte's Birth 2006
Melanie just loved this video I made for her of Charlotte's birth. Her favorite movie was BraveHeart, hence I used a piece of music from the soundtrack. I think it's called Celtic Pride. I made videos for both of Missy's babies, so I teased Melanie a few times and told her she was just having another baby so she could get one of my videos *snickers* LOL is a little hard to do right now.
Best Wishes-Deopere Video
I filmed the wedding of Tiffiney and Scott Deopere in July of 2006. Melanie and Curtis left them this message on their video. I got an email from Scott this week saying that they had watched it like 1000 times in the past couple of weeks. Melanie thought they were the sweetest couple & I'd have to agree!
*This clip is so touching to me because it really captures the kind of father Curtis was. Note the pink diaper bag on right shoulder & baby drool spot on left shoulder...you gotta love him!
Fam Vid-Watermelon Spittin' Contest
On our family vacations we would split into two teams and compete. Each team had to come up with 3 competitions. One of the competitions was a watermelon spittin' contest. Our kids love watching these videos.
