My dear friend, Melissa. A beautiful soul has left us too soon. I'm honored and blessed to have known Melissa. Truly a blessing in my life and I will miss her. We shared countless memories, laughter,hard times and good times. We could always count on one another. We will never forget you.
I am so sorry to read about your loss, I cannot imagine the pain and loss you're feeling at this time. I have found comfort in the words at Revelation 21:3-4, perhaps you too can find comfort in that promise. One day there will be no reason for sad tears nor will death take away those we love. With deepest sympathies.
Sorry for your loss of such a special beautiful person.I will cherish all the great times we spent together.
Mark and family, Jeanne and I were shocked and saddened to learn of Melissa's passing. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
