In memorial of my dear friend Melissa,

Melissa, I think of you often and say a prayer for your family (especially your children). I ask our heavenly Father to keep them safely in his loving arms and continue to care for them always. Your short time here on earth has left a beautiful forever mark on many lives. I miss you.

Mz. Melissa,
It's been two years since you've joined the Local #34 Upper Executive Board,
All the good you're doing up there, we're feeling the spinklings of your goodness down here. Keep up the good work and keep your motherly ways over your children, your wifey ways over your husband and your Daughterly ways over your mother. Keep smiling on all the rest that you love and that love you.

REST IN PARADISE
QUEEN!!

WOW,
It's been a year since we last endured that warm smile, that light up the room personality, those words of wisdom as only you can delivery.
Seems like only yesterday we were planning our agenda for 2017.
I know you are popping Yale leaders on theirs heads and yelling at them to
SETTLE THAT DAMN CONTRACT. You work on them from above and we'll continue to work on them from down here, and together we'll win as we have so many times before. we miss you but will never forget you......
FOREVER LOCAL # 34.
