Rob, My deepest condolences to you, your daughter and your families. I didn't know Melissa, but it sounds like she was a beautiful person. My heart goes out to you. If there is anything I can do, please let me know. I find it hard to comprehend everything you have been through in the last few months, but we know God doesn't give us more than we can handle. Take care and God bless.

Dear Rob & Macey,
With deepest sympathy to both of you on the loss of our beloved Melissa. We will all miss her dearly because she was able to touch so many lives with warmth, kindness and especially laughter.

Dear Rob, Hale and Matthews families,

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time. This picture of Melissa is perfect. She had such a wonderful smile! She was such a happy person who always had positive words. May your wonderful memories give you comfort in the days ahead.

Rob, I was saddened so to hear of the loss of your beloved wife Melissa. I have some idea of the grief that you and Macey are feeling and can only encourage you by saying that time does heal all wounds. I lost my mother at an early age and with time those wonderful, beautiful memories will begin to fill the void left behind by Melissa's passing. I do pray that will come soon and that God will ease the pain in your hearts. Be strong my friend and May Godd Bless your Family.

I knew Melissa from our Barrow School days. Kindness and warmth are the hallmarks by which I remember her. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Peace,

I knew Melissa in High School. She was such a sweet, happy, and joyful person. I am saddened to learn of her passing and the struggles she went through. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers and your faith, family and friends will help to get you through this difficult time. I know this sounds like words from a card, but it is true (I know from my own experience). It won't be easy, but you will find peace and comfort again.

Melissa was truly a special person, with the biggest smile I've ever seen. She lit up the room, and will be truly missed. I'm thankful to her for being a true friend to my sister, Debbie, for many years. I'm so sorry for the entire family for this trememdous loss. I'm comforted that Melissa is finally in paradise and free from pain. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the family. I have heard such wonderful things about Melissa.

God Bless always.
