Melissa Raquel Gaines

Bryan and Melody, I am so sorry to hear about Melissa. I am glad I did get to meet her at Mark's 50th birthday party. Just remember, God takes people for a reason and since she was such a wonderful person he has good things in store for you. It might not seem fair but you have to believe. Love to you and your families. Tina Roberts

Melissa was a wonderful person to be around. I worked with her at Kroger in Hilliard during the mid-90s and was a close friend for a while. Although I had not spoken to her in about nine years, I can still vividly remember all the warmth and compassion that she had. Her smile could light up the room and her sense of humor was off the wall. It is heartwarming to know that she was happy, eventually getting married and having a kid. For her family, I would just like to say that a part of...

Her constant smile and gentle touch could lift my worries, no matter how great, away in an instant. She never ceased to amaze me when we were together. Like the Energizer Bunny leading the way--never stopping and never complaining--she pulled me through time and time...

Rob, Time goes by so quickly we sometimes lose track of friends but they are always in our thoughts and hearts. We both are here for you anytime day or night you can count on us.

She will be by your side every step of the way.. And when you have those rough days just think of the good times and she will give you the strength to...

Brian, Melody, & Heather,
When Kristy called me late Saturday night, I knew something was wrong. I couldn't have imagined what she would tell me. Melissa was like part of our family. I have so many memories of her & Kristy and the schemes they cooked up and the fun they had together. All the trips to Hilliard and back after we moved. I would do it all over again. I am so thankful for having known Melissa and all of the memories. I have the picture of the girls when they went to their...
