And although we all must travel this route, may the time spent leading up to that appointed time be filled with much love towards our families, peace and God's grace which sustains us through Jesus Christ. May the peace of God comfort you during this difficult time........In Love,

My deepest sympathy to Melissa's family and friends. I knew Missy when she was a short-time resident at Kimberly Hall South in Windsor. All of us who had the good fortune to have known her and played bingo with her were shocked and saddened to hear of her passing. We all will remember her in prayers and her family as well.
Sincerely,

Crystal Jennings-Kelly

Although many years have passed I have fond memories of 5th through 7th grade with Lisa and Nanette at Bloomfield Middle School. Our teacher Mr. Potter would turn off his hearing aid to tune us out when we were too loud! I'm so glad for fond memories of a great friend. My prayers go out to your entire family.
