I miss you so much. It has been hard for me that you are gone. I wish I can have you back to spend sometime with especially with everything that is going on right now with me. You were always so supportive of me when it came to the boys. Just keep on looking after me and being my guardian angel when I go through the process of adopting the boys back. I love you Melissa. Until we meet again.
Still missing you

Five years, three hours, and forty minutes ago you called. I had no idea it would be your last call to me. You loved talking on the phone. I can still hear you say, “What are you doing?”. Always your first words. How I wish you were here to call me, again, one more time. I want to hear your favorite question when making a call…”What are you doing?”
You also always ended your calls by saying “I love you”.
I miss you

I know you are up in Heaven having a talk with God because my boys are finally coming home. I love you and I want to thank you for watching over me and getting them home to me. Without Gods help and you being an angel up there getting the job done I dont think it would happen.I love you and miss you and once again Melissa thank you. Merry Christmas and please continue to watch over me and the boys.

Perhaps I was cried out from the day before.
I did my best to keep myself held together,
Not sure if I succeeded, I do wish to battle this no more.

So much time passing and it never gets easier.I miss you everyday! Although I am still living in Arizona I have seen pictures of Houston. He looks just the same as Tyler did when he was born. That too is a day I will never forget. Yesterday marked 4 years that you left us, and its funny I talk about you every single day. I hope you know how much we all love and miss you! Mel, you always meant the world to me. Save me a seat up there okay? Cause when I get there we are gonna have a lot to talk about. You are my gaurdian angel as you are for many of the people who knew and loved you. You are always in my heart and I miss you so very much!

I have read through all of these, now it is my turn to share. Though this is my first time posting Its definately isnt my first time I have thought of here. There are times when I think of her and weep.. but no tears come out. There isn't a day I dont think about her even when I try not to. Sometimes I feel like she is playing a bad joke on us and is going to get ahold of me. I can hear her saying "what are you doinn BOII !!?" I have had dreams about her. Like she had came to visit me so we can relive moments with her that we treasure and cherish. There was never a dull moment around Melissa. I just wish that I knew why I still dont understand. I dont think that if I pray to god he could even tell me. I guess heaven needed another angel .. thats all we need to know.I know that she is watching over us all. Longing for the day we get to see her again. I was in a freak accident that nobody should have been able to walk away from as clean as I was. She is my gaurdian angel. Everyperson I spoke with that night told me (After seeing my car) somebody was watching over you.. Your very lucky, etc. She was always there if I needed somebody to talk to about anything . she did not judge. She understood me. She stopped WHATEVER she was doing at that moment to dedicate her undivided attention to me and whoever needed her at the moment. I am fghting back tears as Im writing this. I have had a few dreams of her. Everything was back to normal.. until I wake up. It is like she is telling me nothing has changed besides the fact that we can not see her or touch her, and she is no longer in pain and there is no need for us to be. she probably doesnt understand why we are hurting just like we do not understand why she is gone.. I love Melissa. I cannot believe how long it has been (4years) I havent seen her babys since. Her oldest son Tyler Is my Best Friend in the world. Always will be. I am writing this as I sit in my home in Washington.. Wishing I could go visit her on these special dates. I will never forget her.. I didnt even know her for a full-year before her passing and I felt like I never have/never will have another bond as strong with another person. I think it is safe to say anybody that has came acrossed her path feels this way too. I wont let my self cry. but i am not sure if it is good to hide my emotions I just dont want anybody to see me this way not even myself.. I will remain strong for her and her people as long as I can til I cant anylonger.. I have gotten a tattoo on my right leg of melissa of a pink rose. We all know pink is her favorite color. I got a thorn for each baby. Geeze I can not believe how long it has been. Where does the time go. I look forward to seeing what everybody has to say in the future. I also plan on writing more. I feel like im cutting it short no amount of words could explain how much of an impact Melissa has made on our lives. I will Never forget the day she picked me up to go hang out with the boys. She was driving the Red Suburban, there was snow on the ground. We were both screaming and laughing histerically as she turned the corner and we went sliding back an fourth acrossed the ice. This is just one of manythat will never be forgotten. Look forward to seeing you again one dayI believe that we all will. "LilMama" is the nickname that I gave herconsidering she was like my second mom, Its true when they say "The good die young" but "Time will not heal all things" I still feel the same that I did on that day. it felt like just yesterday I gave her a hug goodbye after the babys .. Not knowing this would be the last time I would see her and the only time I ever hugged her.
Rest In Paradise "LilMama" WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU DEARLY!
~Love Always -Your Friend

Melissa, your first grandchild, Houston Cassius Kirkhart, was born Jan. 28, 2012, a boy, of course! He is absolutely beautiful! The only thing or should I say the only one missing were you and your enormous smile. Tyler's girlfriend Ashley lost her momma in 2009, so she was also missing from our joyous occasion. Perhaps you have met her in heaven where you both reside.What was truly amazing for Tyler was being in the delivery room, watching the birth of his son, he looked up at the clock, it read 4:17! Tyler snapped a picture of the clock on the wall, knowing his momma was with him all along.
December 27, 2011
Merry Christmas Melissa. Tyler chose a pink christmas tree for you. Tyler and Ashley decorated the tree with your picture and Ashley's mom's picture. Beautiful. We love you Melissa. You are sooo missed.

I'm blessed to read these tributes to Melissa even though I did not personally know her. I first learned about Melissa through a church I was visiting for a special sermon series. After I attended Melissa's funeral I started and continued following posts in this guest book. She was a pretty amazing lady to have blessed so many people's lives :-) And I have had the blessing of becoming friends with some of those who loved Melissa, including family members. On December 9, my mother Dorothy died. My father June died in 2001. So, I'm feeling the pain and loneliness of loss just like all of you, especially Melissa's children who like me are coping with life without a loving Mommy. I will keep you all in my prayers, and thanks for sharing your love and memories of Melissa with me :-) Love in Christ, Sheila

Melissa,
It have been 3 years that you have been gone from me and from everyone that loved you. The pain is still there and I just wish you were here with us still. I still think about you and I when you took me out for my first car ride driving a stick and making drive out in the busy streets you pulling my mirrow away and seeing if there was anything on ur teeth and then asking me if I saw anything. Laughing, crying, singing and having a good ole time. I miss all that Melissa and I think about all this and just wish you were here to still have fun like we did. WE all miss you and especially your babies. I still cry and just wish this was all a dream and its not. I cant get over the hurt and I try hard. I love you so much and wish you were here with all of us. I miss you and love you so very much and would do anything to have you back here with us.
