Dear Nick,
Dani and I were so sorry to hear of the sad passing of Mel, a beautiful, kind and gentle person. We are trekking in the Himalayas but were able to find an internet area to watch the beautiful livestream service to commentate Mel.
A wonderful celebration of her life. Our thoughts and sympathies are with you and your family. Thinking of you and sending all our love.
Lovely service Nick. You must be very proud of the kids, all spoke so beautifully about their mother. Myself and Fiona send our thoughts, prayers and love to you.
I first met Melanie at Anglesea Beach n the 90’s with friends. She was always glowing, happy and friendly and we go to know each other over each summer continued. My heart goes out to her beauitful children and husband and family. Mel you were such an a beautiful and authentic girl – RIP . Lots of love and prayers to all her family. xxxxx
A beautiful tribute to a beautiful soul! Mel’s smile could light up a room and her heart so generous. A life taken way to soon but her legacy lives on through her amazing family. Thinking of you all, Nick, Hugo, Milly and Asha. She would have been so proud Dani Schubiger
Beautiful service she would have been so proud of all four of you. You all spoke so well and I can see her with a smile on her face. Love to all of you and her memory will live through all of you forever. XX
What a beautiful tribute to a gorgeous soul. Mel was beautiful inside and out. My heart goes out to Nick, Hugo, Millie, Asha and all close family and friends. So sorry for your loss and know her love will live on in all of you.
Such an incredibly beautiful celebration for one very special lady.
I first met Mel when Hugo & Lulu started Kinder at Middle Park Kindergarten in 2005.
Lulu quickly took a very strong liking to Hugo, so we became friends.
Mel was always such a happy, kind , fun, vibrant, positive & caring person & I loved her from the first time we met.
Our 2nd children Sam & Millie were similar ages , both our husbands surfed & we shared a similar love for the beach.
Sam however took a very strong liking to Mel! I fondly remember a flight to the GC when we were going to see the Andersons at Suffolk Park.
Sams main concern was where he would be sleeping, as he insisted it would be with Mel- he was 3 or 4 then.
We’ve had many wonderful , funny , memorable times together with our families, and I cherish these memories so very much.
My heart breaks for you Nick, Hugo, Millie & Asha.
Sending all my love to you all now & always

Dearest Nick, Asha, Millie and Hugo. So deeply sad to learn of the devastating loss of your beautiful life partner and your incredible mum, Mel. All your beautiful stories of love, joy and a life so well lived that you shared today completely resonate with my lasting impressions of her as a truly warm and special person, and just the most adoring, loving and proud mum. Sending love to you all, and to Mel’s parents, brother and extended family and friends. From Edie, Lucy, Alby, Ava and Isla McLean
What a beautiful service. Mel’s lovely cheeky smile and the twinkle in her eyes brought back so many fun memories. Sending our love from NZ.

A beautiful service to remember and celebrate someone who clearly gave so much to so many – sending love, strength and heartfelt sentiments to all the family. xx
I am so saddened by the passing of the beautiful Melanie Anderson. I remember her so fondly as I convinced her to come and work with me at Mojo. She was kind, caring, smart and the sweetest girl in the agency, Never said a bad word about anyone and only looked for the good in everyone. I watched her love blossom with the naughty Nick (I thought he wasn’t good enough for her). But he proved me wrong. You guys built a beautiful family and I send my heartfelt love to Nick, Milly Asha and Hugo. Please reach out if there’s anything I can share to help ease the pain. I don’t know how we lost touch…Mel will always be in my heart.
Dear Rob and Dee
What a wonderful celebration of Mel’s life. She was truly a very special person – a tribute to her parents indeed.
Your family did her proud with such warm descriptions of her and her loving life.
May you bask in the love of your children and grandchildren and of course, each other.
Sending all of our love to you. Bron and Mark xx
Mel, a beautiful person taken too early. Rest in Peace. Sending love and deepest sympathy. Wendy and Tia Davies.

Beautiful and moving ceremony. A beautiful soul. We only knew Mel through her parents and knowing them, understand the person she was.

My deepest sympathy to all her wonderful family. Her spirit will live on in Hugo, Millie and Ashur. Nick I hope we catch up again soon… you spoke so well.
Love from Kate. XX

Rest in Peace, Mel.

Mel was so special to me, I met her when she was working at FCB and I was at Universal McCann. She was my mentor and someone I looked up to and aspired to. We got along so well and I remember visiting her when Hugo was born. We worked again together at m2M with lots of fun times. She was the kindest and most beautiful person, I’m so glad she got to meet my son Marco mid last year and she was so happy for me. Life is cruel and she deserved to live another 50 years, however she will be forever in our hearts.
Sending all my love to Nick, Hugo, Millie & Asha.

I was so sad to hear of Mel’s passing. She was a beautiful person to me. It was a long time ago that we worked together, but she left a very big impression. Especially when it came to being kind and patient, and great at what she did. I remember that Hugo was very young when we worked together, and as a working mum, I loved that she always put him and her family above all else. Sending love to Nick, Hugo, Millie and Asha and Mel’s wider family and friends.
Dearest Nick – sitting by a river on the north coast – with you in spirit and as Big Tone said in our group chat – One Love and – as you always say to me at the end of our chats – God Bless
At this sad time, for all of us who knew and loved Melanie, we remember a stylish, graceful lady. My first memory of Melanie was in 1990 in the tropical surroundings of Fiji. My brother and I became friends with Melanie, Ange, as well as Robert and Dee. At the end of that holiday, we all exchanged numbers and addresses on the back of “The Marlin Bar” drinks coasters. Where my grandparents would put on an impromptu floor show every night.
It was very humbling to be invited to stay at the McKinnon household in Beaumaurice. My grandmother drummed into me the importance of manners when dropping me at Geelong station for my ride up to the big smoke. It was Melanie who showed me Chapel Street, Decota 501 and more. Being a bogan from Geelong, all these things were part of my inspiration to see the world. Thank you, Melanie.
I would also like to extend my deepest sympathies to Dee, Rob, Peter, Nick, Kristan, Asha, Milly, Hugo, Jamieson, Finlay, Tully, and Sonny. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Simon Fuller
Sending love to all of Mel’s family at this incredibly sad time. xo
