As you may know, Melissa and our daughter Molly were best friends (along with Anna Neufarth) in high school. We loved having Melissa visit and loved spending time with her. She was so full of energy and fun, with a great sense of humor and spirit. Our thoughts and sympathy go out to all of Melissa´s family and friends.
