Bravery and love...all in one!

Hi Rosalyn and Tooty..just want to know you guys were on my mind. May Yahweh keep you both strong and focus. I know Marissa is missed greatly beyond this physical comprehension..words do not offer much but our expressions..and to know Yahweh Elohim is with you always. Felicia

Life is to be cherished no matter how long it lasts. For some the term lifetime extends for decades and for some a lifetime is but a few years. Either way it is to be lived to the fullest. I have no doubt that Marissa lived a full life and cherished every moment of it.

Ohhh we today you were on my mind so tough lil sis. Just to know all the time I missed I will never be able to make it up in the flesh. Im sad but also so joyful to know that fact because you are in heaven amongst our beautiful Grandparents and I just wish I could hold you one more time. Watch me and keep me and your niece and nephew safe. Watch over Mom and Dad and AD with all your angelic might. Just keep us Rissa under your wing so that in your honor we can do anything. I love you so much...

May the lord be with Marissa's family
Much love!From Marissas best friend maya

i really am very sorry for for your loss. i did not know her well but it makes me as a child think how easily life can be taken and it makes me feel sad that it was taken at such a young age.

Cousin Pat,Climon and Roz,

I am deeply sadden to just find out that Marissa passed. My heart goes out to you and the entire family. She touched so many lives and educated us all on how to remain strong through sickness and health. I hope that you know that although I am in Dayton, that if you need anything from me-I will always be there. I love you all!
