I know how so often things happen, people pass, and people forget and move on. Just know that I think about Melissa all of the time, and I think about you both Mike and Char. Melissa is not a person that is easily or EVER forgotten. Just wanted to remind you that you are always in my thoughts and Melissa's beautiful smile and laugh are always in my heart. Lots of Love, Morgan

My condolences are with you and all your family on the loss of an amazing girl! I went to school with Melissa at PSAS, we were very close childhood friends. She was such an amazing person with an incredible personality! She could ALWAYS make you laugh. I remember our childhood memories from PSAS, all our slumber parties, hanging out at your house playing with all the dogs and the birds, and hanging out at Starlight Park. You'll forever be in our hearts Melissa, you'll never be forgotten!!! Heaven needed an angel, so they chose you. Rest In Peace...

I have only great and wonderful memories of you Melissa. We grew up together and I will forever remember us swimming for hours and hours in the summer. I was so jealous because you would always get the most beautiful bronzed tan, while I just turned red. Even though I was 2 years older than you, I was terrified to dive and you were determined to teach me and after night after night, I finally did it. Right when I came up from the water, I heard your laugh, your glorious contagious laugh. When I think of you Melissa I cannot get that laugh out of my head. It is one of those great laughs that spreads to everyone around. I have never known anyone to have had one bad thing to say about you Melissa, you truly have one of the kindest and sweetest souls I have ever known. You will never be forgotten Melissa, and I will see you one day beautiful girl. I love you, Morgan Stone

I went to middle school with Melissa, we were fairly close and I can honestly say she is one of the few people who has always stuck out to me in my childhood. She always knew how to make people smile and had the most caring spirit. My deepest sympathy to the family and friends, your all in my prayers.
