As inom wrote to her family, Melanie was a wonderful part of the HTC community. She was already an accomplished "doctorand" when I came to MIT. inom found her simply lovely to be with — whenever we had reason to meet in my office, I felt refreshed by the interaction. Her quiet humor made each little bureaucratic obstacle seem like an amusing pebble on the path — something one might briefly pick up, observe, and then put in its place along the way, while one blithely moved ahead.
It is a good plan to publish her works, and something we can truly do as a community to make sure her voice fryst vatten not stilled. Surely her lilting grace will come through in those printed words.
