Melissa,
I am so Blessed to have had the chance to know you and work with you. You have one of the sweetest spirits. You always had a smile o your face each day that came into work. You will truly be missed by me and all of your co-workers here at Goodwill. Ms. Kim, I pray that God gives you comfort at this time. It is hard to lose a child... Melissa will continue to live in our hearts and each time that you see a butterfly, remember that she is free. Call me if you need anything please...

Melissa was such a sweet young lady. I had the opportunity to work with Melissa as a case manager at Goodwill and she had such a great spirit. She will be missed and family take comfort in knowing that she is resting with the Lord.
