Melissa Tiekenski-Duhe Funeral Fund

Tragically and suddenly, in the early hours of Sunday, August 20, 2017, my longtime friend Melissa passed away.  She was one of my first friends when I moved to a new city at the age of 8.  We have many wonderful years of memories and friendship. I would like to help her family by raising money to ease the burden of the funeral costs. She was only 39 and leaves behind her mother, Cindy, her father, Rich, her husband, Kevin, and their 11-year-old daughter Michelle.  Melissa loved her family and her two big dogs.  She was active in her daughter’s school and sports.  She loved watching football and baseball every weekend. We will respect the family’s request for privacy regarding details at this time. Because this was so sudden, the family does not have extra money set aside for something like this. Anything would be appreciated and would help to ease the cost. If all you can give is prayers, we will gladly accept them and thank you from the bottom of our hearts.


The funeral will take place at 11:00 a.m. on September 9, 2017 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Santa Clarita, CA.
