I

I remember when my parents were in Hawaii and Melanie stayed with me for a whole week, I remember that she was the Kandu summer leader during the summer at Camrose Association For Community Living and she also worked at the program for kids, during the school year at CAFCL. We used to have sleepovers and go to Edmonton for swimming, crafts and arts at the office. I remember when she had her oldest daughter named Rhyelle and she came to visit me with her sister Kirsten. She is such a sweet and friendly girl friend!
