She my phone buddy, we use to stay up until 4am just talking on the phone. She use to start the conversation by saying, "if I hang up it's because I think someone is coming if it's a false alarm I'll call you back". We would always be in trouble for being on the phone so late but she was a really good friend to me and many. Some of my best memories involve her and Belvidere. Until we see other again, watch over us.

Melissa, although our paths crossed several times in life, I feel regret that I never got the opportunity to know you very well. The fact that you were always surrounded by many close friends is a testament to your warm personality. I send my deepest condolences to your family. Wayne and Cindy have shared so many wonderful stories with my dad and I about your beautiful daughter Amalia.

Dear Wayne & Cindy,
My greatest condolences go out to you and the rest of Melissa's family and friends. These times are never easy so prayers,kind words, and support from family and friends are always helpful. Even though this may seem really hard, don't dwell on the time you won't have, remember all of the great times you did have. For this is not a time of morning but a time of rejoice. She is in a fantastic place so we must celebrate. You're in my thoughts and prayers. Much love.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to Melissa's family, especially her daughter. I worked with Missy at Verizon for several years and loved her personality. She was always willing to help and always had a smile or kind word. We ran into each other last December when my granddaughter was born, shortly after Amalia was born. I am deeply shocked and saddened by her passing and pray your lives are filled with the goodness of having had Melissa in them. My family is included in this wish, my girls and grandson knew her briefly but really liked her.

Melissa, I am going to miss you so much you don't even know. I loved hanging out with you so much, as did Tom. I'll never forget the time we went to pearl lake and swam all day then went shopping afterwards. Or the time we went camping and I got so sunburned and you just got really tan haha. I'll never forget the time I picked you up at night in the dead of winter because the car had been towed and poor Bruno was chained up outside the gas station haha. Or our late night grocery shopping and when you gave me a facial and did my eyelashes....Or the time you were going through all of your old clothes making me try them on so I could have them. Although I only knew you for a short 2 years....I always loved you like a big sister and looked upto you...your personality and laugh were unlike any other. You were such a magnetic person...everytime we talked or were together I could'nt help but be attracted to your glow and what you had to say...you're my future sister in-law and I will never forget you...we were'nt done with you, I was'nt done with you...I had many things I wanted to do with you as my sister...I know that you are in better place and may your wonderful soul rest in peace my dear...I love you, Love your Sis in-law Lori

Missy we met so long ago back when we were 13, we had sooo many laughs and did some crazy things. We drove our parents crazy, but those times are the ones that put a smile on my face now and I wouldnt trade them for the world. You had an infectious laugh and a smile that beamed. You for sure had the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen...you were always just so pretty. In the last couple years of your life we had some pretty deep conversations and I thank you for reaching out to me after life had split us up for a while. It was like no time had passed. Im soo sorry I couldnt do more to help you get better but I know that just being there to call probably meant alot to you and I take pride in that. I will miss you so very much but I know you can rest now and watch over that beautiful little girl. I remember the exact words you said about her..."Annette she is beautiful and I love her sooo much" I can hear you saying it in my head right now. I love you girl so much.

My deepest condolences to the Shattuck Family. I was blessed with the opportunity to work with Melissa in Elgin and in Rockford. She was such a beautiful spirited person. I can still see her smile and hear her hearty laughter. May we always remember the good times she brought to our lives. May God bless you and keep you in perfect peace.

Missy from the day we met in jr high i knew we'd be friends for life. We grew up so fast and experienced many things together at such an early age, drove our mothers insane, but it was times that i will cherish forever. You brought a smile to my face everytime i was around you. i love you so much and my heart is broken, i never imagined saying bye to you so soon. you will be deeply missed but your memory will live on forever in my heart. my heart goes out to your beautiful baby girl and your family. I love you Missy.

Melissa was a wonderful person. She could light up a room and cared deeply for her friends and family. I will always remember how she would beam when she was with Amalia. Amalia was the light of her life. I will miss our morning coffee, and our weekend breakfast. Melissa was a true friend and I was lucky enough to share a friendship with her. Melissa will always be in my heart. Wayne and Cindy thank you for sharing that wonderful spirit with us. You are in my prayers

To Amalia & Melissa's Family:
It's so hard to find the right words to say at such a tragic time in your lives. Melissa was such a beautiful person with a great personality. I met Melissa a few years back in the wireless industry, and she had such a great disposition about her. Her smile would light up a room, her kindness would melt your heart. She always treated people the way she wanted to be treated. Please know you are all in my heart and prayers. My heart aches for your loss.

I met Melissa in middle school and we attended high school together as well. Our friends new her as Missy, I remember her like it was yesterday. We use talk on the phone for hours at a time. I lost touch with Missy years ago but i never forgot her, we had the same friends, Rachel, jamie, johanna, jenny, Mirna, Susy and the list goes on and on. We use to hang out a lot, she continued to hang out with the crowd even after i moved away, than eventually every one moved on.
Missy you will be sorely missed, I did not even know you had a daughter. I am sure she will carry your charm and spirit.
