Memory takes me back to when you were just a little girl. Your daddy´s pride and joy! You grew up to be a caring young woman, responsible, caring, and a niece I was so proud of. Miss you so much but God willing one day we´ll meet again! Love, Aunt Gloria

Melissa was a wonderful niece who was always very loving and caring. Our hearts are aching with sorrow at this time, but we know she is rejoicing in heaven. May God be with Zachary and Alexander and may they always remember the values she taught them. To Michelle and Audrey, we are so sorry for your loss. Due to the pandemic we will only be attending graveside services.
