Melissa Braman "Missy" Jennejohn

Melissa was one of those few special people that you are privileged to have in your life. I have only known her for the past 4 years but felt as if I had known her forever. We worked together at Fabrics & Findings and she was a rock that I could always count on for support, loyalty and above all else, friendship.
You did not need to know her very long before you had a complete understanding of how much her family meant to her. Michael, Amanda, her Mom, Marcia and everyone else where the...

I remember Missy when I first met her. I was with my brother and Marcia at the barnard parade. She was alot of fun,so full of life. I knew I was going to like this family.
Years went by and my thoughts were right. I've always enjoyed spending time with Missy, Michael and Amanda, and, as we had children our families(Marcia's too) started camping together in the summer. It was always an experience. New Hampshire-my dad getting up set and Missy helping calm him down. Adam and Missy on the...

My whole life i was told "gosh, you are just like my sister!" By my mom (Marcia). And since I always had the opinion of an older sister at home, I never really thought about it...I mean, Aunt Missy was the one who always showed up late for dinners...with an hors'edourve to pass...she was the one that always got us lost on our way to camping trips and when we finally get there, make sure we have the perfect one.
She was also the one that always asked at dinners "do you have a napkin? do...

Missy has been dear to me for most of my life,nearly forty years. She was the "little sister" of my best friend, Marcia; but they are both sisters to me. Marcia, Missy and I were together all the time in high school, but during my senior year, it was Missy whom I was with constantly. (We were both driving Marcia nuts with our "silly antics".) I just cannot imagine life without Missy's caring perspective, her "steal trap" of a memory, her dry sense of humor, HER PASSION for style, food,...

Melissa and I worked together at one of Rochester's greatest places- Fabrics n' Findings. Eventhough we worked together and had to be "serious," Melissa was always game for a good laugh. She was so good at work- to the customers, to the employees. One night her and I were closing the register together, and I was running late for dinner plans and we sat there for 45 minutes laughing as she kept making mistakes on this old register, having to start over, fixing all of MY mistakes. She had to...

Missy shined in everything she did, inspiring and touching those along the way - this is for certain. My heart goes out to all her loved ones, with prayers and well wishes.

Dear Amanda,
So sorry to hear of your loss. I too lost my mother to cancer 13 years ago. In time your pain will ease, but it will always be a part of your life. Look for the beauty in each day and know that your mom is a part of it. She is in a place without pain and that is something to be celebrated. Best of luck to you at college.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Twitchell

Dear Mike and Amanda,
Your friends from NC feel heavy in our hearts grieving for your mom. We love all of you. You only have to face south to feel the love all of us are sending your way. Missy was a special person that we all feel so lucky to have known and loved.
Love Alyson, Mark, Donovan, Clark and Marlene

We met when we were kids, she lived around the corner. We were all just this bunch of teenagers that used to hang out together all the time. Our lives took us in different directions but finally and thankfully we managed to reconnect in the last five years or so.

I was at her home in Walworth for a get-together a few years ago. At some point we had a quiet moment. She said to me “Jimmy, I think it’s great that we both found the right people in our lives and we both ended up really...
