Oh lissa, I have thought for weeks how I could ever sum up our relationship for a little entry. You were my very first friend when we moved to Louisiana. In every childhood memory you are there. The time we were chased down by that dog in the park. All 5 times we went to see Titanic. Your crazy sense of humor that enjoyed me being scared to death of your evil cat. There are no words to sum up what you and your family have meant to me the last 15 years. You were my constant. Always there no matter what. I can't believe that I have to live in a world where you are not. Thank you Melissa for 15 years of friendship. I will miss you so very much. In memory of you, I will end this like you ended every night before we would fall asleep.."Goodnight, i love you, say your prayers, i will too, good night i love you..."

hello my first friend...
so many days have passed since i was able to look in your eyes and let you know im here for you..like you were there for me when i had no friends in highschool..we clicked up every time we could..
if i could hold my breath until our eyes meet again i would..
because i only want a minute of your time..a second may even be good...id hold my breath for 20 years because you left without knowing where i stood..the world should..love as you loved...smile as you smiled...care as you care...if the world did...all of these prisons and churches wouldnt be there cuz all would be fair..but noone else will veiw the world as us..so for my final ride i sit and hold my breath while i wait for the bus that reunites you with us

Bo and Judy:
There are no words that can ease your pain. None that can fill the void in your world. I pray you have peace KNOWING that Melissa is at peace, with Jesus, resting and rejoicing....
A few nights ago I woke up ready to pray, but all I could ask was, "God WHERE is Melissa?" His reply was simply a verse from a song. It played over & over & over......"When we all see Jesus, we will sing and shout the victory."
Keep PEACE in you heart knowing that she had a "victorious" journey and she will forever "Rest with the BEST."
You will forever be in my thoughts and prayers. May God continue to bless and strengthen you. I'm a prayer and a phone call away! Love,SusanRoberts

MISS CC
February 13, 2011
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
