Melanie was a 7-year-old who loved the color blue. She loved to dance and sing. She also loved unicorns and was obsessed with Pusheen. Melanie was diagnosed with DIPG in September 2018. She fought with strength, courage, & bravery. She never questioned why or never complained, but she would always carry a smile on her face. Melanie was very sassy and loved to prank us all. She is dearly missed by all of us and we'll make sure she is always remember as the bright, sassy unicorn princess she was.
