She had such a wonderful gift in how she worked
with her students. Her excitement for literature
was contagious. The books came alive when she
taught about them.
It was truly an honor to teach with Melissa.

Melissa was an incredible person. She made everyday teaching a joy. Her kindness & humor
was remarkable given the challenges she faced.
My thoughts & prayers are with Matt, Reagan,
Charlotte, her parents & all her family. Melissa

We doctors and staff at PAMF Ob/Gyn, formerly Peninsula Women's Health are heartbroken to learn that Melissa has passed on. I have not seen her for a year or two but I will never forget her upbeat, positive personality. It was always a joy to see her in the office and to care for her pregnancies. I wish peace for Matt and her children. May her memory be a blessing.
With love,

Melissa was pure sunshine. Her smile was contagious. I saw her grow from a teenager to an incredible wife and mother. I didn't see her often after she left to attend college but I always kept up with her life through her parents. Attending her wedding, was an honor.
She was a warrior. I can remember her determination when she fought her first bout with cancer. I know she gave everything to this second bout. My heart goes out to her entire family and friends.
Rest in peace Melissa.
