I did not know Melissa but my sister passed away from ALS 10 years ago. My sister was blessed as Melissa was with a strong faith and wonderful family and friends. May God send his angels down to wrap their wings around Melissa's family/friends and give them some peace. My sister and Melissa are talking, walking and eating in heaven together. I am walking in both their memories in Indianapolis on Oct 2nd with Nikki Sue's Crew to raise some money for a cure for ALS.

Jesus said," I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me.....and I lay down my life for the sheep." I am so grateful for Missy laying her life down to show the true strength of God to trust Him that He knows us....Thank you for being my friend. And to my family I love you so much you have been such a blessing in my life I am forever grateful for our relationship.....know that you are always in my prayers and thoughts.

We were fortunate to have known Melissa. We will miss her and extend our sincerest sympathies to her family and friends. She was one of those few people you have the pleasure of knowing who was completely genuine and caring. She was an example for all of us. She will be remembered forever.

My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who Melissa touched during her time here on earth. I had the priveledge of getting to know Melissa when she was pregnant with Vivian in the hospital. She was always so positive and had an amazing spirit. I enjoyed every moment spent talking with her and know she will be missed tremendously.
