To my precious sister Brenda, my heart is breaking for you in the tragic loss of your precious baby girl Melissa. I prey that GOD will hold Melissa's sweet soul in the warmth of his precious hands & take her home to spend eternity by his side, where she can never be hurt again. I also prey that GOD will give you strength to go through this terrible time & fill your heart with a sweet peace in the security of knowing that Melissa is now resting in GOD'S arms for all eternity. I love you with all my heart.
