I just heard the news. So many memories running through my heart right now. We first met in 3rd grade and somehow kept in touch all these years through our letters and later trains of texts back and forth a couple times a year. You always had a smile and kind words for everyone. You are amazing. You will be missed, Mel. My Dances With Crutches. LYLAS always, my friend.

There are so many to share, fun and full of laughter. Sometimes we wept together, usually from laughter, at times movies and on occasion a serious moment.We shared so many crazzzee, fun, serious, worldly, personal truths with each other. Mel was always the wind beneath my wings. Lifting me higher, pushing me further,showing me through example how to be strong, not to give up. She blessed me with her friendship and truth, but felt like a kindred spirit. A person I never tired of being with.I felt I had known her my whole life. God used her in ways one never expects, thinks of, or could imagine. I am thankful for all she poured into my life, and grateful she can now rest without the world interfering with her life. She was always the one I could be raw with and visa versa. Your love is heart felt even in your absence. I love and miss you dearly Mel Belle, just as your family does, because you certainly were part of mine. Thank you for leaving your stamp all over the place for all of us to enjoy which ever way the wind blows !!!!!!

Mel was one of our earliest and best friends on Instagram. We sent her the plush monkey Marvin when she was in hospital three years ago. The Instagram Plushie community loved her even though we never met her. She is an inspiration in how to live life to the fullest and spread joy to others. We always said we would visit her one day and we intend to do so. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We hope that somehow the adventures of @maxwellnmarvin.on.the.loose will continue on Instagram to keep her memory alive.
Thank you for blessing us with your friendship, Mel. You will be dearly missed. Love, Colin from Melbourne, Australia (Instagram: @blabbyboy)

I loved going to concerts with you, or just hanging out and sharing a piece of carrot cake. Our many late night conversations. Our times together with our beloved Mikee. You will be missed dearly my friend. I always looked forward to seeing what color your hair was going to be. Lol. Love you girl. You had the biggest heart. The brightest smile and the most expressive eyes of anyone I ever met. But you are now with Mike your uncle jack and my mom, dorothy. Please give them all a hug and a kiss from me.

Melissa was a very special person. A kind, sweet soul, who will be missed by so many of us. May her family and friends be comforted in the knowledge, that Melissa was loved by all who knew her. Sincerest condolences to her mother and father, brother, and family.

She had an infectious laugh. And a wicked sense of humor from a very young age.
