In memory of Donna Melia

By Emma Van Wyck

In Loving Memory Of

Donna Melia

To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die

Please make a donation in memory of someone very special.

Our beautiful Donnie passed away on the 8th August, surrounded by her loving family. She was peaceful and free from pain.

Our hearts are truly broken. Donnie defied all odds and fought courageously with strength, positivity and determination until the very end. She lived life to the fullest. Her family meant everything to her, and even in the toughest times, she never gave up. Throughout it all she still continued to put everyone else first and always thought of others.

We know she was loved by so many, so please remember her in your own way, maybe watching a sunrise, sharing a glass of red, or simply sitting quietly and reflecting on what she meant to you.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that you consider making a donation to a cancer charity close to Donnie’s heart, such as Pankind. By donating in Donna's memory, you’re helping to fund life-changing research and support for Australians impacted by pancreatic cancer. Your gift supports Pankind, as they work to improve survival and provide care for patients and their loved ones - now and into the future.

She was always Daddy’s little girl, and now she is with him again. I’m sure he will have a glass of red wine waiting for her.

Thank you for all your messages love and support, it truly means a lot.
Thank you for your support
