I have just learned of my friend Melissa has gone to be with Jesus. I have known her since 2000 and only had the pleasure of meeting her only once. Life sometimes gets us in the rat race and forget our friends and family. Melissa had always been about family and loved her family dearly. She will be missed deeply. What a wonderful woman she was. I pray that god gives her family and friends the strength during the holidays. I hope to be with her family as they release her ashes in one of her most favorite places Cade's cove TN. I always gave her a hard time about Cade's cove... I would tease her by telling her it was my cove(Shane's cove) and say to her to keep out.... Well Melissa it will be your cove from now on. And you will be able to relax in the cove. I will miss you MELISSA COLE aka yank..... Your friend Shane aka Johnny reb
