Melissa was my niece and I loved her dearly. She laughed at everything I said and thought I was the funniest person ever. We spent many a night laughing and giggling no matter where we were or what we were doing. I will miss her deeply.

I met Melissa when she just 3 years old and she was so adorable. She was always smiling and had so much to teach us all. I spent alot of time with her & Alison and we always had fun. I was 'offically' her aunt for many years, but she has always remained in my heart & I know she knew that. Her cousins Dylan, Hayley & Kelsey loved her very much and learned so much from her. It's our hope that we can all learn how to treat others and love others the way Melissa did. We know she's looking down on us from Heaven with a huge smile! We love you!
