My thoughts go out to Stephen and kids. Melinda was the most beautiful person I have ever came across her amazing caring heart. she volunteered to be a fairy for merrys fairy’s working hard to help us help people in need.
the love she showed for her family with amazing adventures that she would share on Facebook so we could see. Melinda you will definitely be missed by many. I thank you for having the privilege to meet you. RIP

So sad to hear of this beautiful Souls passing, I met Melinda at Waverly Park School, she was immensely proud of her children, she offered a caring ear and had a giving heart...Rest in peace x

From an old high school friend - rest in love. Gone way way too soon. Condolences to whānau and friends.

I had the pleasure of knowing Melinda through my oldest son ben as she was his foster sister and she was truly the best and then secondly through Waverly park school with her children who really are the luckiest children to have had you as a mother melinda, you have touched everyone's heart that you have ever met, fly high and free 💙

My heart is broken, my friend is gone. She fought so bravely for her life this past year, she tried everything, but the deep rooted cancer took her anyway. 😞
Melinda Redman and I met 25 years ago in Australia, we shared a room, in a long term hostel on Enmore Rd in Sydney for 6 months. I had hit rock bottom as a traveller, was broke, and had just broken up with my boyfriend at the time.
Mel was exactly the kind of friend I needed, we didn't need money to have fun, we enjoyed each other's company.
We ate free food together at the Harikrishna place, and discount meals at the Retired Servicemen's Club, chatting and dancing with the old folk, went to drumming circles, played scrabble in the park, explored and hung out in old graveyards, went dancing when we had enough money, and shared whatever we had in our tiny room, she had the top bunk, I was at the bottom.

We journeyed together in a camper van from Sydney to Byron Bay for New Years Eve, 1998, a night I'll never forget, Suzanne Curphey was also there!

Over the years we kept in touch, she got married and had five children. I truly admired the way she mothered. She was a real Supermum, the wholesome old fashioned type. Her zest for life made her wake to capture sunrise everyday, she grew flowers and vegetables, she did all kinds of crafts and baking and fun adventures with her kids. She loved them with all she had to offer, which will hopefully last them a lifetime.
Mel was soft, kind hearted, and so accepting of other's shortcomings, even when it was to her own detriment. She loved so fully, without judgement.
My heartfelt condolences goes out to Stephen Redman , her children, her sisters and her mom. Loosing two family members in a month is almost too much to bare. I pray you all find peace and acceptance knowing Melinda and her Dad are in eternal peace and love together.

RIP my friend, thank you for your friendship, M&M's, until the end... 🤍🤍🤍

I’m struggling to find the words.

Sending my love to my brother Stephen and my nieces and nephews Atlas, Art, Phoenix, Aaron, Nathan and family. My heart breaks!

Melinda will be forever missed, I will fondly look at the beautiful morning sunrises and think of you. ❤️

Thinking of you Stephen, kids and Mel’s family and sending you lots of love and strength from Sydney.
Amanda, Kirk, Frankie and Jude.

Gone too soon. Such a loving mother. Sending so much love from Australia to Stephen, Art, Atlas, Phoenix, Aaron and Nathan at this heartbreaking time. We are thinking of all of you and hope to see you all again soon. Anthea, Jim and Nola xoxox

We are thinking of you Stephen and Atlas, Art, Phoenix, Aaron and Nathan, also The Double family.
As Louise says every sunrise will make us remember Mel.

A great loss and sadness that stretches continents. Sending our love and support to Stephen and the kids, family and friends.

A beautiful, caring, kind lady. A wonderful Mother to her beautiful children. She will be missed by so many. My heartfelt sorry to her Mum, Sisters, Children and Husband, Family and Friends. I loved seeing Melinda's posts on Facebook where she posted lots of pics of her beautiful children and their day to day adventures. Melinda was always doing something with her children - teaching them cooking skills and meal preparations, craft, walks, the many parks around. I certainly will miss all her posts and the pics.

Thinking of you all during this difficult time. Will always be here for you.

My condolences to Melinda’s family, the girls in Sydney loved her so much and i always miss her… xxxooo

I remember the night Mel met Stephen. We were out for the night in Balmain, and she went up to him to ask why he was out alone. Skip forward a few years and we know how well that worked out.

I had the privilege of spending years with Mel in Sydney, and some time in London as well. Her cheeky mischievous grin would usually mean we were out for some fun adventures! Always with a warm and welcoming heart, constantly looking for ways she could help her friends. Her free spirit with the biggest heart will live on in Stephen and the kids. So glad she found you Stephen, and that you were all blessed with such a large and happy family. Mel always wanted to have a family!

My thoughts are with you all, and I'm glad to know her spirit lives on in you all xx

Melinda, your such an amazing woman. I will never forget the time we met each other. You pulled me out of my comfort zone to met other amazing mums just like yourself.

Your loved your children so much and made some amazing memories with them that they won’t forget.

Fly high xxxx

A beautiful earth angel at rest in Gods garden.

Rest In Peace. Always devoted to her children and family. Loved seeing everything they were up to online. You raised them well and they are going to thrive.
Taken too soon but will never be forgotten.

Thinking of your beautiful family at this sad time Mel. We’ll all miss you and your account if your family life, your kids achievements and inquisitive nature especially wee Nathan 💕. 31 years ago we used to get up to all sorts of fun, motorbikes, cheeky smokes, boys & too much fun. You will be remembered for all the wonderful things you are. Fly high sweet Mel, gone way too soon xxx
