Not sure what to say?

Thank you all above. She would call me, " You're my spit kid." Her son, Dylan Davis

I had the great pleasure to meet Lissy in my freshman year at Madison. I immediately forgot about college and fell head over heels in love with an amazing woman. She tolerated me for two years. She was a kind creative, loving ,fun, introspective and thoughtful woman.I was so happy to hear she had children and that she followed one of her passions and was succssful. We were music nuts together.On my birthday she bought me a bass guitar, I've never stopped playing, Thank you Lissy for the many...

Mellisa turned me on to Jazz Dance. As a student at Potsdam she choreographed a Jazz piece to Rufus' Swing Down Chariot which I danced in. She never knew this but because of her inspiration I went on to be a Jazz Dancer for 19 years. Whenever I smell Rive Gauche I remember Melissa. I will always have that part of her in my heart mind and spirit. Davon Frasca

I truely REGRET never having the honor of meeting Melissa. I know her gorgeous talented son Dylan, he's my son's best friend.

Rest in Peace Melissa.
