Melba Tavella Ramona Freeman (the fifth and youngest child) was born on August 7th, 1985 to Vibert and Jacqueline Freeman, in Georgetown, Guyana. Along with the rest of the family, Melba migrated to the United States of America in May of 1987.

Quiet yet, Melba was ever loving and of a peaceable disposition. Simply put, she was a wonderful person to have and be around. Always pleasant, she never complained even though she was ill, she remained steadfastly calm, an inner strength that can be attributed to God’s grace. As a daughter, Melba was loving and selfless, as a sister, she was warm and compassionate, as an aunt, she was tenderhearted and selfless.
