Melinda Faranetta - December 16, 2025

I have such vivid and fond memories of spending summers as a child in Gores Landing, running in and out of Jean’s home with Karen. Her house was a place of warmth, laughter, and welcome, and those days have stayed with me all these years. Through family ties and friendship, she was part of some of my earliest and happiest memories by the lake. My deepest condolences to all who loved her. She will always be remembered with affection.
