    The world will be sadder with Melissa gone. I will miss seeing her at Kum & Go every Wednesday after school while her girls and my grandkids were getting after school snacks. RIL Melussa until we meet again on the other side.

      Your mother was a beautiful soul, a beautiful spirit, a beautiful woman taken away from us and this world way to soon. She loved you girls! I met her as a veteran and she helped me tremendously and nothing can replace the hole left our souls from this loss! I found out late and my heart is absolutely broken to have lost a person that made the sun shine just a bit brighter in my world!
