My sweet beautiful Melissa this doesn't seem real at all.. My sweet niece I will forever miss you and I will always carry you in my heart.. My heart was ripped in half when your Momma called me.. I almost fell to the floor and couldn't breathe.. I know you are in a better place now and I know you are at peace... Thank you for loving me and allowing me to love you.. I've never known pain like this before, other than Momma, but it hurts... May you fly high and free.. My love goes with you.. You will be our Little Wildcat!!! FOREVER YOUNG FOREVER BEAUTIFUL.. AUNT BECKY

Sweet Melissa,I'm at a loss for words. This is unbelievable and hard to accept but I know it's real. My heart hurts for Cody, Jordan and Tristin. I feel so bad for your mom David, Shannon and Tommy but I promise I will do all I can to help them get through this. Rest easy baby and fly high.. I love you and will miss all the UK fuss. Aunt Diana
