To Melissa's Family,
I am so sorry to have learned of Missy's passing, I would have loved to have attended her services but just found out today unfortunately. I have so many great memories of us in High School, we were great friends and I will treasure each and every one of them. I lost touch with her over the years but thought of her often and will continue to keep her family in my prayers.

God said heaven awaits it is time to come as your work here on earth is done. Don't leave them with sorrow and all of those tears, but leave them with those memories they can cherish for years.

Tina,
I am so sad. I held her so tight when I said goodbye to her husband and then to Dale. I will always remember our hugs. Take care.

If there was ever a kinder gentler soul on this earth I sure don't know. You never once complained about your illness or suffering you only cared for others and was always there to lend a ear. You more than ever earned your place in Heaven. Go with God my Friend your work on earth is done. We'll take it from here. I love and will miss you

Kelsey and Ashley words can not express how sorry I am for the loss of your mom. She was ALWAYS smiling! I remember sitting in my car, in the Cumberland farms parking lot, and I saw her leaving the store with such a beautiful smile for no one..I didn't say hi bc it was so brief but, it made me smile. She was an incredible lady who raised beautiful young women! I'm going to miss running into her out and about...she NEVER complained, she was always positive and such an inspiration! God definitely gained an angel!

My thoughts and prayers are with Melissa's family. I was 11 years old the first time I met Melissa, I quickly adopted her as my second mom. The way that she loved, cared and accepted anyone is exactly who I wanted to be and she was really the perfect person to look to for that. Melissa's love for her two beautiful daughters is something that cannot be described in words and something I will never forget. Melissa was always there for those she loved and cared about, I will never forget all of the amazing things she taught me and all the love she has given me in the last 19 years.
Kelsey and Ashlee I love you both very much, your mom was truly an amazing woman. She loved you both beyond the moon and back an infinite amount of times!!
We will miss you forever Melissa!

Mellissa was a great friend of mine I was so fortunate to meet her through Amutual friend shortly after the passing of my wife. How she tried to encourage me to live again and always saying things will get better, I want to emphasize mellissa never complained of her illness while she helped me I was able to count on her at anytime day or night. Mellissa really never thought of herself she always gave to others even though she was suffering herself. Surely there is a place in heaven waiting for her and her husband will greet her and she will live on in eternity forever. You will be greatly missed by many people and myself I'm glad I had the pleasure of knowing Mellissa A great and loving person has left this world a little brighter.

Dear Rosemary,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved daughter, Misi. It is so difficult to live without our loved ones. She gave it her best shot but the cancer won in the end. Sending you hugs and my love.
