Lee Ann,
I am so sorry to read about your sister Melissa's illness and passing. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. No doubt Melissa will have a beautiful Mass of Christian Burial on Monday and I pray that the graces and blessings from that experience will comfort and sustain you and all your loved ones. May Melissa and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace.
God Bless you Lee Ann,
Teresa E Johnson, one of your dental school classmates

Dear Herbert Family,

Although I never met Melissa personally we spoke over the phone and by e-mail many times. I certainly feel like I knew her. Whenever I ordered glass (and glass can be quite a difficult child) I knew that Melissa would take care of it. She took over once an order was in her hands. Even when her illness kept her from the office she still insisted on taking care of us from home. She was and will continue to be in my prayers. My deepest sympathy to Melissa's family and friends. We can't know why God takes us when and how He does. It's a mystery that will only be revealed when He calls us home, too. God bless.

She joins her Daddy from earth and her Father in heaven. Her suffering and battle was fought and she was saved from any further pain on this earth. Her mother was the most beautiful mother and one of the finest women I have had the blessedness to know. Bless you all and keep you through this difficult time. Janie Jasin
