Melissa,
I have been thinking about you and didn't forget you on your birthday July 09. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you. You are so special and we miss you soooo much. Layton talks about you often and Josh and I do as well. We can't believe your gone. It will never be the same again. I miss going to your house and seeing your smile and your welcoming voice. There will never be another "Melissa" thats for sure. The girls are growing up so fast and they miss you but they know you are in a better place. I wish you could have been here when I had Landon in June 05. I know you were there just not where I could see you. I listen to a song always in the car and get teary eyed called "Theres Holes In The Floors Of Heaven". Its so true. You were so laid back and sweet spirited. I see you everyday through Makenzie. She definitley takes after you. I didn;t find this guestbook until now. You have so many friends and people whos lives you have touched.
I love you always and forever,
Heather

Melissa,
I was just thinking about you since your birthday July 9 and browsed through the internet and stumbled upon this book. I'm so surprised. Anyway....I miss you sooo much and theres not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. It's been hard but I try to take it day by day. I love this song that I listen to that reminds me of you "Theres holes in the floors of Heaven", its so sweet and brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it. You are and were so special to everyone. The girls talk about you and know that you are in heaven. Josh, me, Layton, and Landon miss you. Layton talks about you and remembers you. Yea I missed you when I had Landon June 05. Thats okay because I'll be sure he knows who you are and what an awesome person you were. I miss walking in your house and being wlcomed by your smile and talking but I always will have your memories to think about. There will never be another "Melissa". I love you and will never forget you.
Always and Forever,
Heather Morstad

To the family of Melissa Morstad:
Please know that my prayers are with all of you at this difficult time. I was shocked to hear of her passing, but knowing her, she is smiling down on all of us right now.
I worked with Melissa on two occassions when we were both Day Care workers. She was a bright spot in the lives of all of us, and loved children with all her heart. Take comfort in knowing that she lives on in her sweet little girls.

I am so blessed say I knew Melissa. She was the cutest, sweetest, most fun person to be around. She raised everyone's spirits around her. I want you to know that you are the "Best" sister anyone could ever have. I hope you know that. I have two sisters that I love to pieces also and could not imagine how you feel at this time. Just know that you will be with Melissa again. I love you and have you all in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Lynn

I am so sorry for your loss. I feel so blessed that I was able to talk to Melissa back in June and hear how high her spirits were. She was so funny and I could hear a smile on her face as she was joking around with me. Laney, you are such a special person and I know Lissa loves you for all that you did for her and for just being you. Ali, your Mom loves your dearly. I will always be here for you if you need a friend. Conor loves you like a sister. Billy, be strong and have faith that God will get you through this painful time.

I worked with Melissa for all too short a time.There wasn't a day that passed that she didn't come into the office with a smile on her face and a story to brighten all of our lives with her humor and her upbeat way of looking at life's lemons.She was most proud of her family,her husband Billy and "Her Girls".We always ask "Why" and we have to trust that He had a plan for Melissa and it will be revealed in time in His way.She was loved as much as she loved.I pray that you, Billy will carry her heritage on with "Your Girls"...Judi

Dear Laney and Billy,
Please know my family and I are thinking of you and your family at this difficult time. My husband and I were shocked to hear of Melissa's passing (Greg had been at Windsor and graduated one year prior to Melissa). I did not know her but remember her as a beautiful, vivacious person who was well-liked among those who did know her. She always seemed so bubbly and kind - much like her sister!
Our prayer for each of you is that her memories bring a smile and comfort and that God brings you peace.
