Not sure what to say?

Melissa, Im sure you are smiling down on us. Miss you girl, love you. God Bless Always.

Dear Jimmy and Family:
There isn't much to say, in light of the tragedies we've both experienced this year. But we can only live on for them as they live on in our hearts.

Love you all dearly.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

I would like to send my condolences to the family and let them know that they are in my prayers. I have known them for awhile and have watched their kids grow up. I know that it is very hard for them and I can't imagine what they are going through. I love you all!!

I am so sorry to hear that Missy passed. We went to elementry school together and then met back up for junior high and high school. She always knew how to light up a room and she never met a stranger. She found me again on Classmates and I have been keeping up with her page and sending messages. I really hate that she has gone, but know, she is in a much better place without pain. My heart goes out to Jimmy, the kids and family. God Bless

Jimmy and family, I am so sorry to hear about Melissa. My prayers are with you.

Jimmy, Andrew, and Alayna
At a time like this it is hard to put thoughts into words. I do know Missy fought a hard battle and now she has won. What a blessing! My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. If I can do anything for you guys, please let me know.

Heartfelt thoughts and prayers to you all. I had the pleasure of talking with Missy several times these last few weeks and she was and remains such an inspiration to me.
