Community Tribute
A master barber/stylist at Kolor Me Klassy in Aynor (9 years), mother of two, 4’10” “firecracker” who lit up rooms—loved motorcycles (“My happy place!” via her last FB ride video). Owner Joy Harris mourned her as family; salon closed March 11. Honor walk for organ donation; memorial planned (NY family).
Devastating loss for Horry’s tight-knit Grand Strand—DUI nights on rural roads too common in your SC crash logs, bhai. Ride safe, RIP Melissa.
