Reminiscing about your beautiful and amazing daughter Melissa, on this the four year anniversary of her passing through the veil. Remembering the fun high school times she shared with our daughter Tiffiny and the many times she was in our home. Such a joyful light she carried everywhere with her. Our love to you, her parents and extended family.

I know this isn't recent but I have just heard the news and I am so very sorry for your loss. It was a privilege for me to be Melissa's companion in the Tokyo South Mission in 1995 and I learned so much from her.

I am a graduate of holy cross and just learned about Melissa's death through the holy cross magazine. she was so young I couldn't believe that it was actually an obituary. Upon reading about her and her career and her interests she seemed like an amazing woman. My heart goes out to her parents and her family.

I am so, so sorry to read of Melissa's passing. I can't believe it. I knew her when I was a fellow at Princeton.

She is deeply missed.
