Thank You to Melissa Durinsky

After nearly two decades at the Lake House, thank you, Melissa Durinsky, for the time, heart, and energy you gave—you made a lasting impact.

Wishing you all the best in what’s ahead!

To my precious Seabrook community, 

After almost two decades on Seabrook, it is time for me to start a new chapter. I wanted to take a moment to tell you how very much I adore you all before I say goodbye. I love the people on this island with all of my heart and soul, but for personal reasons I must depart. 

I will always cherish the memories I’ve made here. We’ve danced together, laughed together, cried together and so much more. You were there for us when the tornado hit our house. You prayed for us when suicide affected our family. You celebrated birthdays, graduations, and holidays right along my side. 

I leave with a full heart, grateful for the friendships and the shared purpose we found here. I am confident this community will continue to thrive. 

With deep appreciation, 
Melissa Durinsky
