Melanie S. Rognstad, died peacefully, April 2, 2022
Melanie was born December 24, 1958, the daughter of Donna and William Terry.

Melanie loved all dogs and was always helping to find dogs good homes. She was stubborn, feisty, independent and would do anything for anyone. Melanie enjoyed spending time with her family and will be missed by all who knew her.
She is survived by her brother, Mike (Sally) Terry, and Robert Terry and by many nieces and nephews. Melanie was preceded in death by her parents and by her beloved son, Rado Harnage.

Oh Melanie, my dear friend. I can hardly believe I just spoke to you a couple of weeks ago! We just met for lunch not too long ago. I will miss you forever. I know your wings were ready, but my heart was not. Fly high my dear friend. I love you. Rest peacefully with your Son, Mom and Grandma.
I met Melanie at The College of Lake County where we were both working on degrees in the construction industry. We had so much fun. Spoke to her a few months ago. I will miss her. My deepest condolences Mike, Sally and Robert.
