Dear Byers Family,
I am truly sorry to hear of Melissa's untimely death. I worked with her for a number of years at Weis Bakery. We had some great memorable times working together. She was a very nice, personable, friendly person. It was an honor and a privilege to have known her and had been friends with her. May she rest in peace now among the angels in heaven. May God comfort you at this time.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Kim Beard
