MAFS expert Mel Schilling dies aged 54
Mel Schilling, beloved MAFS relationship expert, has died aged 54 after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Tribute to Olly
The much-loved ‘son’ of Colin and Marnie Runge (both deceased), adored ‘brother’ to Margie, Libby, Cathie, Gill (deceased), and Prue, and the devoted, loving husband of Judy.
From the moment you walked into our lives 57 years ago, Olly, you filled a space we didn’t know was empty. Mum and Dad gained a ‘son’, and we gained a 'brother' — while you gained five sisters and a beautiful wife.
You have always been there for us — steady, kind, and full of quiet strength. Your wisdom and generosity of spirit guided us through life’s ups and downs. Your intelligence, both emotional and intellectual was matched only by your quick wit and irrepressible sense of humour.
Wherever you went, you brought warmth, laughter, and love. You drew us together and made us stronger as a family. We, your 'sisters' will remember you always, love you deeply, and miss you beyond measure.
