Melissa "Missy" Edris

We miss you so much, Missy. You were in our lives for two decades, and touched us with so much love, friendship, peace, encouragement, and faith in the future. I can´t believe it has been two years now, and I still miss talking with you. You never let life keep you down and faced it all with your wonderful laugh. I´m sure you´re giving tours in heaven! Peace and love to you and your family.

Missie iso nee of my favorite people I have ever, I miss her so much. We meet when I produced animation. I feel in Love with Mel. I wish we would married. One of the Best women I've know

My Aunt was of the most beautiful, supportive, loving, enthusiastic, caring, and generous people on this Earth. Words cannot describe the impact she had and always will have in my life and heart. She is deeply missed.

Lela and Michael, this popped up in my email today, and a flood of memories came back. I met Missy in 2002 when I was working at Cherokee Christian Church. We became friends, and she embraced my family as hers. Oh, the warmth and love and compassion she exuded. When my husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer, she was absolutely there for us through everything. She called my husband often to check on him, even when she was traveling. He cherished those calls. She brought a bottle...

I´m so terribly shocked to have just found out about Melissas death today .. we met in 2004 while I was visiting from Australia.. We had kept in touch via email since and I even got to come to KC at the end of 2019 for some Chiefs games and were both really excited to catch up after not seeing each other for many years ... well we didn´t actually catch up after all but I was hoping to travel back to KC last year but COVID hit .. I thought it was strange not hearing from her for the past 12...

Lela, my kids and I will miss her warmth, great wit, and laughter. One of a kind. May her memory be a blessing.

Dearest Lela and family, I just found out about Melissa's passing today. I am so sad... I know you will miss her dearly . It was my honor to be her nurse and her friend. I told her she was the strongest person I knew. Her love of life and her beautiful positive spirit on the roughest of days was an inspiration to us all. I will miss her... but forever treasure her in my heart.
