I can not believe it has been 10 years since I saw your beautiful smile. I remember you often and every time I tell Joey's story, you are always in it. I can't imagine where he would be now without your help. I know you are among the Angels in Heaven with your Husband and daughter. Rest Easy and God Bless.

Melissa: It has been 10 years now since we last saw your face or heard your giggly laugh. The world has changed so much in that time. We like to believe that Madison would have had a sister or brother by now and we imagine what wonderful parents you and Matt would have been. The pain of your passing is still real although we find ways to deal with it. Your Mother and law and I thank God for all the memories you and Matt have given us. Love always Dad and Mom Blum.

Dear Melissa,
It has been nine years since we lost you and Madison. We miss you,Matt and Madison so very much. We imagine the fun and life that could have been shared with you. We imagine helping you and Matt raising Madison and perhaps more children. Melissa, your smile and caring personality will always be memorable. Your passing has left an emptiness in our lives that is partially filled by the awareness of you being together and happy. Love Always, Mom and Dad Blum

I hope today and every day you are truly dancing and heaven of joy and peace with your beautiful family. This I pray in Jesus name Amen.

My dear Melissa it has been 2 years since God called upon you to go on to him, and who am I to question our God. It has gotten a bit easier to deal with but we still miss you so much, I know you are where you need to be with God and your wonderful daughter and husband. I feel your presence and I often turn to you for advice as I often have in the past. Thank you for being our guardian angel and please continue to watch over us for we truly believe that when God called on you he chose you for a good reason. You were an angel when you walked with us here on earth and we believe you are a very special angel in Gods heavens. Your mom and sister miss so much you were more then just a daughter and a sister you were there very best friend, but we all will try to be patient and pray that someday we will share you and your beautiful family forever in God's heavens. This is truly what we pray We Love you so much and pray that you are in peace.

Your sister in law

THANKYOU Aunt Missa!!! you, my brother, my niece, and The Lord all watched over and protected my baby girl. When the doctors weren't sure what else to do, and we could now see the worry on their faces, you made her stronger! When they didn't know if she'd ever be able to come off the ventillator you guided the doctor to try and take it out and now she's home with me ! Continue to guide and protect your niece! We saw your signs, people who looked like you, the nurse taking care of her from your neighborhood, the doctor appropriately named dr. Matt telling me that he was a science guy but has no explanation to why she's doing so well. I do she has the greatest aunt, uncle, and cousin! We love and miss you

Time passes so quickly, so quietly...we take so much for granted sometimes losing sight of what is most important in this life. Matt, Melissa and baby Madison you will forever be in our prayers. You will forever be missed and always loved by family and friends. I pray that all the Mulero and Blum families find comfort in knowing that you and Matt had a love few will ever know. God Blessed us with the gift of you and Matt.

Melissa
It has been a year since you joined your family in heaven and not a day goes by that we dont miss you. I think about you often and how things should have been different for Matt, Madison, and you. You have changed are life in so many ways and words cannot express how greatful i was to have you for a friend and a therapist. You would be so proud of Andy and Kaylee and how their doing. Andrew go a very good report card and also is above average in speech. We miss you terribly and Will ALWAYS remember you!

Well its been one year since you joined Matt in heaven. I can't even begin to describe in words how much you are missed. You and my brother showed me true love. You were destined for each other. There's a permanent hole in our hearts. We miss your contagious laughter and beautiful smile. Your anniversary happens to fall on fathers day....I know its hard for my father as I'm sure it is for yours. Please bless them. Continue to watch over us. We love and miss you. The kids talk about you and Matt all the time.

Hey Miss Melissa. There's not a day that goes by that you aren't on our minds. You would be so proud of Aubrie and how she has improved. We miss you so much. You not only made an impact on Aubrie's life but also mine. There's so much that I could tell you right now! I smiled when Aubrie came home from school the other day and had a picture she made of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and all I can picture is you sitting on our living room floor with that deep voice you would make sayin hungry and showing Aubrie the sign for it. It saddens me but at the same time makes me smile. I hope you and your family are doing well up there. I wish I could've had more time with you. Just remember I'm always thinking about you. :)

I think about you often. It always brings upon tears. Yesterday was your bday and I had remembered sitting in school with you claiming to be a "genius who skipped a grade" because you're a year younger than me. Your little witty remarks and your strength are what I miss most. I hope to one day hug your beautiful baby like we talked about. I hope you, matt and madison shared a great birthday in Heaven. I'll be back for Christmas to drop you a "Merry Christmas". Miss you "little sis!"

December 5, 2011

Good morning Liz, it's what I say to you every morning when I step outside but this morning is different. There are no words that could ever express the pain that Mom and I feel especially on days like today. You see I am still trying to make sense of how this could have ever happen to someone so dear and special and loved by so many. Just so you know, I may need a hand from you and Matt & Madi at the gates of heaven. Because God has to have a good explanation for this and right now I just don't know what it is. If I don't get in know this, I love you so much and miss you with no ending and am so proud of you. Because of you I was able to walk with my head up at all times.
Melissa we wish you a Happy Birthday and we pray that you Matt and Madison are having big party together. This wish would bring comfort to us both love Dad & Mom.

Aunt Missa,
Im so sorry it has taken me so long to write but I just dont understand. Im comming to grips with whats happened but I still dont know why.
I also have felt like ive let you down. At the hockey benefit for my brother i promised my brother, you and madison i would protect you and madison as my brother had always protected me... I feel as though i failed you. You were a wonderful person, sister, friend, wife and mother. the only comfort i get out of all this is that you are no longer heartbroken, madison will know her father, and my brother has his girls. I love and miss you all so much.

My dear baby angel, Madison,
I love you and your parents unconditionally. Im sorry i never had the chance to tell you, or hold you. but you will always along with your mommy and daddy be in my heart.

Kylie, Derek, and Ashely love and miss all of you so much. All they want is their Uncle Matty, Aunt Missa, and cousin back, and life back to the way it was before you were all called to heaven. I do too.

All of you will forever be with me in my everyday life. Not a day goes by where i dont think of you all.

I love and miss you everyday.
You are our guardian angels, please protect and watch over us.

Love always your sister in law

Hey Liss,
Just sitting here once again looking at all your pictures and wondering why...I guess we will never know the pain and suffering you were going through after losing your true love Matt. I just don't understand why these things happen. I say to myself, "It's gonna get easier as the days go by." But who am I kidding, it get harder because everyday that goes by is another day without you. But I know your at peace now and your with Matt and Madison. Love and miss you all very much...until we meet again.....

Mom and Dad Blum

We love and miss you so much Melissa. I know you and Matt are now having a ball with Madison. Please hug each other for us.
We went to Hershey this past week with Marianne, Alex, Zach, Mikey as well as Aunt Marcia and Uncle Bernie. The kids had a ball. All dad and I could think about was the trip you and Matt took there 4 years ago. We could see you walking by the rides, but especially the picture Matt took of you at the Hershey Gardens. Although a lot of this brought immense sadness to us, we also were comforted by the good time you and Matt had during that trip.
Not a day goes by without most of it spent thinking of you, Matt and Madison.
Love and a Big Hug and kisses from Dad and Me to you, Matt and Madison.
Mom and Dad Blum

Our Dear Melissa,
We miss and love you. We miss your smile and your perkiness. We know you are happy with Matt in Heaven. We love both of you so much. We imagine little Madison being held by you and our son Matt.
We take comfort in that you are all together, are in God's hands, and are living in Eternal Happiness in Heaven. However, not being in your
physical presence hurts beyond belief.
We miss hugging and kissing you and Matt and being part of your lives. To Madison, our little grand daughter, big hugs and kisses. We will be with you all again.

Melissa, I dont think there is a day that goes by that I dont think about you and Matt. I drive by your resting place every day and it sounds silly but on the days I dont stop by I beep the horn as I pass by. You and Matt will always be in my heart, and I am thankful that I had the opportunity to be in your lives. I will never forget as long as I live how happy you and Matt were the day before he passed. That memory will be mine forever, I will stop by and see you guys again soon.

July 15, 2011

Melissa as you already know the only thing that completed me was to be able to take care of my girls and make them happy no matter what.
I tried and fix any and every problem you might have had from a bent rim and flat tire while you were in collage to just washing your car just because. But When you lost your Love.. Husband.. Friend.. The father of your child to be words can’t express how I felt. I only wish it was possible for me to fix the only thing that mattered I could see the hurt in your eyes and in your smile but still it hurt me so that my tools could not fix this. So now the wound is opened again before it ever got a chance to start healing I don’t ‘know if I’ll ever heal but you probably know that. I only ask God to give me the strength to get thru this and as you know I love you so much and miss you so so much ): GOD ALWAYS BLESS YOU.

Melissa,
You have given our son Matt so much happiness and love and we know the love he had for you. Your big smile, your caring, your unselfish concern for everyone around you, also were among the reasons he loved you with all his heart. To "know you is to love you".
For all these characteristics and more, we fell in love with you also. We did have fun and we loved being part of your life. You, our sweetheart, are our daughter also.
We know you and Matt, in Heaven, are the fantastic parents to Madison as you would have been here on Earth. We were so anxious to meet her; someday we will. We think of and pray for the three of you constantly
You are in a happier place and in God's hands. The comfort we have is that you, Matt and Madison are together in Eternal Bliss. You are a part of our lives now as you always had been.
We will love and miss you always. We are writing this with tears in our eyes.

Miss Mulero, as we knew Melissa, taught our daughter for two years in the Manchester school district. Melissa's smile and enthusiasm were contagious. Our daughter, Kaitlyn, adored her and enjoyed going to school. Melissa made our daughter's pre-k years a delight. I was so hesitant, scared and nervous about sending my little girl to pre-k at age 4, but after meeting Melissa, I knew my little girl was in great hands. We feel so fortunate to have known Melissa for those two short years. We are so very sorry for the family's loss. May Melissa, her husband and baby girl rest in peace. Miss Mulero, thank you for making our little girl's pre-k years so wonderful. I am looking at a photo of Melissa and my daughter, from 6/11/08 and my heart is just broken that she is gone way too soon. I know you will be missed by many. With sympathy, Lisa DiMaria and Family

Melissa, thank you for all the childhood memories we shared. I was blessed to have met you and even though we grew apart as we got older, I always thought about you and asked my aunt about you & your family. I was so happy when I found you on facebook and felt like we never had lost touch.... I will never forget your smile & the great person that you were. The most memorable memories I have are when my grandmother used to babysit us all and thanks to you & your mom, I experienced All That Dance. I pray the lord comforts your family & friends & I know you are in a better place where there is no suffering nor pain. We will meet again someday my childhood friend.... may you, Matt & baby Madison rest in eternal peace.... Gone but never forgotten...

Forever Missed Never Forgotten

Daughter, grandaughter, niece, sister, aunt, friend, cousin, these are just a few simple titles to describe Melissa. All of us know that she meant much more than titles can express.
From the time she was born Melissa could grab your heart with her smile. She was always a tiny girl with big ambitions and a clear vision of what it meant to be a great person.
From a very young age my parents knew one day Melissa would be a great teacher and she was so proud to accomplish that. My parens always nurtured and encouraged us to achieve any goal we desired. They gave Melissa the strength to leave the state to finish her Masters Degree in Florida, and proudly welcomed her home when she graduated. It was never a secret to Melissa how proud my parents were of her. I know that she showed so much love because she received so much from our parents and family. She also loved every child she had the pleasure of working with, and felt truly blessed to be doing something that gave her so much joy. The smile on her face was the brightest when there was a child in her arms.
Her patience and calm demeanor were always things I admired greatly about her. She was never one to judge or criticize and always gave a positive outlook and a gentle nudge in the right direction. Always looking for a way she can help and be of service to other, whether it was friends, family, or acquaintances, she was always there.
I am beyond blessed and proud that I had Melissa as my big sister and best friend. I will forever miss our healthy walk to the ice cream store and back home with a treat. Our discussions about our favorite TV shows that the men in our lives couldn't stand. And the times we would simply act goofy just to make eachother laugh.
My children will forever Miss their Tia Liss who was with them from the day they were born. They loved the time they spent together and always knew it would never be boring if tia was around. I also know Kylie, Derek, and Ashley will also miss their Aunt Melissa, she truly enjoyed their time together and being a part of their lives.
On behalf of my family we are so happy Melissa was blessed with her marriage to her "Prince Charming" Matt and able to be pregnant with Madison Michelle. She loved feeling Madison growing inside her and moving around during her car rides. Though she dearly missed her Love, Matt, she never lossed her faith. Her last goals in life were to be a wonderful wife and loving mother and those goals were achieved through all of her actions. In our hearts we know that she is happy beyond words with her family in heaven and we look forward to seeing them again when the Lord sees fit.
Matt, Melissa, and Madison will always be missed but never forgotten.

One of the assignments for the senior class at LTHS was a year long scrapbook. Matt featured a page in a significant number of books. Most students had heartfelt feelings not only for him but also for his wife and child to be. I know they are devasted by the loss of this lovely young lady and the darling babe to be. Please know that they and you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathy! I had the privilege of working a few summers with Mellisa at Lakehurst Navy Base summer camp. She was such as joy and wonderful with the children. She will be missed!

Melissa was a wonderful soul and I am glad that she brought Matt so much happiness and pride during the time they spent together. Melissa, Matt and Madison will always have a special place in our hearts. We were blessed to have had such great people enrich our lives and we take some comfort in knowing that they are reunited as a family. God Bless.

There are no words which can ease the pain that Melissa's family and the Blum family are feeling. I'm speechless and cannot imagine the loss of a whole family. My deepest sympathy to all family, friends and associates. May God be with with you and comfort you as you move forward.

Dear Melissa,

My husband and I never got to meet you, but my son and my mom did for one speech therapy session. My mom said you were so good with my son Matthew. I'm so sad that all the children and families that loved you and needed you won't be able to have you here. But I also know that God needed you up in heaven and that you are with your husband and baby girl. I can't tell you how sad I also feel for your family and for Matthew's family but I hope that they can find some peace and comfort knowing that you and Matthew and Madison are together now and they will see all of you again one day.

With love, a Manchester Mom and Dad who wish you were still here

I am so sadden by this terrible lost.
I'm a teacher at Ridgeway Elementary and whenever I saw Melissa, she was always filled with joy. She always had a beautiful smile. A truly wonderful positive person. I can't imagine your grief. You are all in my prayers. God bless you all during this very difficult time.

Wow, I haven't heard anything from Melissa since the days of band classes and spring concerts. When you begin to wonder how your day can get any worse, then to find out a wonderful dear old friend leaves us at such a young age, it puts so much into a different perspective and how insignificant my problems are. You are the sweetest of personalities and I can't fathom how the world that existed around you moves on without you. My sincerest condolences to the family she leaves behind. I never expected to see a class of 97 obit so soon in my life, and to find out it was someone special.

all throughout school you were my "little sister". i can't even begin to count how much time we spent in the library just talking and laughing. we stayed close throughout the years and i was so happy and greatful that you found my former teammate matt to be your husband. you both deserved each other...amazing hearts, incredible smiles, tremendously great people. when matt passed, i promised you i would check up on you and the baby...I just wish I was able to have been there more. our last texts to each other are ones i keep reading over and over. i told you "thanks for always keeping in touch all these years. i'm happy you are just a phone call away." you replied saying "i hope you never have to hurt like this but know that i am here whenever you need". well right now i need you!! i need you to tell me this isn't happening! i need you to give me that strength we talked about because i don't want tomorrow to happen because i know it will be the last time i get to see the physical you! i promised a hug to you at our 50th year hs reunion...you jokingly said that you'd prefer it be when madison was born! your smile, quick wit, your giggle, your all around beauty are what i am going to carry with me forever. one day i am going to come looking for those hugs from you and madison though...so i'm hoping you remember our promise! i love you little sister and matt, thank you for taking such amazing care of her...both here and there!!!

My deepest sympathy goes out to Melissa's family as well as Matt's family. Words can't describe the loss of these three people and only faith can get you through. Matt was my co-worker and a friend and I only ever met Melissa once before his viewing. She remembered me after a few years of not seeing each other and smiled through our entire conversation at his viewing despite the obvious pain she must have been in. The only happiness that can come of this is knowing Matt has his family with him in heaven. Thank you, Matt and Melissa, for all you did here on earth. You touched so many lives and would have raised your daughter to be a wonderful young woman. God Bless your families.
