When you miss her,
we’re with you in spirit,
wondering how you feel,
hoping you’re coping,
and getting a little better each day.
We understand. We care.
When you’re grieving,
we’re beside you,
in our hearts, in our thoughts,
we’re sending you sympathy,
encouragement, affection,
and strength to carry on with life.
She would want it that way.
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Deacon William and Pastor Margaret Burgess. My family extends their thoughts of sorrow in your time of lost. Melissa was a special young lady to me, she worked as my office worker will in school and performed with my praise dance team on many occassions. If you did not have a smile she would always loan you hers. God bless.
