I'm late in learning this news. Melissa was bright & like a bunch of sunrays. For a time I was one of her massage clients for my arthritis pain. She drove far & even carried the hot rocks with their heater. She was generous & kind. My deepest sympathy to her family.

Dear Debbie,

I don't know if things happen for a reason or if they happen by chance. Remember that no matter the reason, she's an angel looking out for you and for all of those she loved.

I am thankful to have spent some time with her after many years of not seeing her. It was truly a blessing in disguise.

Please do not hesitate to call on us if you need anything.

With Love,
Desirie McDonald & Family

Karen, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. So sad for your loss here on earth. I read the other day something Billy Graham said about death..he said that your last breath here on earth you take, the next one will be in Heaven. What a glorious thought that Melissa breathed her next breath with Jesus at her side to make her whole and never have sickness or pain. Let your faith heal you in time...all Melissa's problems and worries in this life are over. God Bless!
