Melissa Graham Sciortino, 40, and son Vincenzo, of Ashburn, Virginia died Wednesday, April 23, 2015 at the Lansdowne Medical Center in Leesburg, Virginia.

Family and friends were Missy's passion. She was a loving wife and mother and a deeply caring and compassionate person who always put others first.

Not sure what to say?

Oh how I still miss you. My heart will always hold a place for you. I wished you were here so many times this year already. I still cry like it was day one. I still smile every time I think about your first dance. I still laugh at your nonsense. I still remember you throwing me under the bus when you wanted you to have your hair bleached. Tears are on my face today for what you have missed out on but then i know you are still right here just the other side of the veil I love you and miss you

5 years has passed and not a day goes by that I don't carry you in my heart. I know when I pass through the veil your soul will join mine and we will never have another good bye

Tears still fall today. Your light still shines brightly in my heart. You are so missed we were so blessed.

Dear Sciortino family and friends. My sincere condolences on the loss of your loved one. May God give you strength and comfort during this painful time. Psalms 29:11

Anthony,

I'm so sorry for your loss. I too have lost my wife and know that words fail to come close to comforting your pain. Please make sure that you allow those around you to contribute to you in any way they can.

Wishing you peace.

Anthony, I have been praying for you, and will continue. I have had many join me in this. As part of the rescue team, we were all touched by your love, and wished for a better result. If you need more, you have my card. Chaplain David, LCFR.

Anthony and Keely, I pray you will be filled with the love, peace, and strength of God as you walk through a new journey together. Always remember the love you had for your wife and mother and the love she had for you two. "Be strong and courageous, do not be terrified, do not be discouraged for the Lord our God is with you where ever you go." Joshua 1:9

Anthony and Keeley, I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Melissa was a great person. She will be missed.

Anthony -

My very best wishes to you and Keeley. I will be thinking of both of you often and wishing you strength.
