To the family,
I remember Melissa from high school and haven't seen her in many years. I remember her as a beautiful, vibrant young woman, an athlete, and as someone that would light up any room she was in with that electric smile of hers. You have my deepest sympathies.

I am so sorry about Melissa's death. She has fought a long, hard battle since she had a brain tumor. The picture in the paper is how I remember her from being one of her teachers when she was at GHS.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I only met Melissa within the last two years and she touched my life. She not only made me laugh when I was down, but she made my elderly father laugh which was a blessing. She will always be remembered by myself and my husband.

Dear Sue, Corey and Kristen,
I am so sorry for your (and all of our) loss.
It is hard to believe that twenty years have gone by since high school graduation when talking and laughing with Melissa was a part of my daily routine. And while our talks grew less regular as the years went on and life got more complicated, our occassional conversations always left me grateful to have such a caring and loving friend. As important, I always left determined to better myself, inspired by how Melissa handled life's challenges with such grace, dignity and class.
With constant facebook updates you sometimes forget what an impact a person can have on your life even if you don't regularly see them. Melissa's passing reinforces how special those relationships are and how lucky I was to call her a friend.
Rest in peace Melissa. You are already missed.

Like so many others posting here, I went to high school with Melissa, and though I have not seen her in some time, think of her often. She was a kind, funny, talented, smart, inspiring person who laughed easily and enjoyed spreading that cheer to others, no matter what was going on in her own life. Though I have not seen her in a long time, she will still be missed.
May the time come soon when she is remembered with more laughter than tears, and may she be laughing in heaven.
Peace,

There are no words to express how lost we all feel right now after hearing about Melissa’s last battle and her flight home to heaven. Though many of us have not seen Melissa in many years, the memories come flooding back to that beautiful smile, beautiful blue eyes and wonderful sense of humor.
Melissa touched everyone person she met and in some magical way entered their heart. I know when I first met this wonderful young lady she was in school with Jennifer, playing the flute in the band, working on various girl scout projects and celebrating many birthdays and other occasions. Melissa was the “care-taker” of Betsy’s rabbits, when we could not have them at our condo – Because of Melissa, we gave each other “cheese” names, but she will ALWAYS BE THE BIG CHEESE.
Melissa will never know how many people she touched, how many people loved her or just how grateful we were to walk this earth with her for 38 years. I may not have seen her for years, but when we met, and she remembered how I was, there was always a hug that made you feel like you were the most important person on earth.
When my mom passed away in 1990 of brain cancer, ironically diagnosed just months after Melissa was first sick, Melissa came to me and hugged me and told me that I had my own star watching me always – now we all have another star that will shine brighter than all the others, and her name is Melissa.
Stephen Schwartz wrote a song for his musical Wicked and the final words to the song For Good, explain it all so clearly; “Who can say if I’ve been changed forever? I do believe I have been changed for the better. And because I knew you, I have been changed for good.” Rest well dear Melissa.
Suzanne, no child could have asked for a better mother and friend – All my love, Katie
