Mel On Ice

For those of you who knew her, I'm sorry to say she died in a car accident yesterday afternoon, probably on her way to the rink. She was a member of the St. Peters FSA in St. Peters, MO, a Silver Ladies IV skater who won a bronze medal in interp at AN in KC this past year, as well as making final round in what was then Silver Ladies III.
She was particularly shy and introverted, but the ice was something special to her. I used to joke that she was the "hardest working woman in figure skating" and it was the truth. This year's interpretive program was entitled "make you laugh" and it's apparent she had plenty of joy performing it.
I am hoping in recognition of nationals being in her hometown, the USFSA can have a moment of silence for one of their adult medalists.
I hope you're landing your axel, wherever you are. :cry:
