I worked with Melissa when she was at Dogwood Elementary. I loved being her teaching assistant. Although we never kept in touch, I thought about her often. I am so sorry for your loss.

I don't know anyone who ever had such a bright smile. I will always remember our "alter egos" Tina and Tammy. Missy was a beautiful person inside and out and she will be greatly missed. My prayers are with all of you.

What a horrible loss. We will continue to pray for each of your hearts to mend as well as our own. Much love to all of you and God bless, Mary Anne and Tom
