I knew Melissa as we were always talking to each other while we waited for the kids to get out of school. She was such a sweet person. Madison and my granddaughter were close friends. She will surely be missed. My prayers go out to Madison. I know how much she loved her mom. She is so young the grief and days ahead will no doubt be overwhelming for her. But her mom will always be with her in spirit. And will , with the angels in heaven watch over her.
Melissa will be missed tremendously! Prayers to her family and friends and especially her precious daughter! The days ahead will be extremely difficult for everyone that knew her as well as her family. Prayers to all!
