My name is Julia. I used to work at Oak Leaf with Mel. In the 5 years I worked there, Mel taught me more about how to cook and how to deal with difficult people than anyone I know. There were several times her and I were the only two to show up for work, and I was never worried. She was one of the best team mates I will ever know and she’ll be greatly missed.
