Caring Connections

Melodye Cooke

Long time Esperanza Estates resident, Melodye Cooke, passed away last week at her home. Melodye and her husband, Tom, have lived in EE for 22 years, and have been very active in our community. Tom says that Melodye was the "impetus for the Ramada being built. Melodye was involved in social activities here, and it became apparent that we had nowhere to gather. She started talking it up, and soon the plans for the Ramada took shape." Melodye made many friends here, and she will be sorely missed. There are no services planned. Our sincere condolences to Tom and all their family and friends.
