I worked with Melissa for a couple of years when she lived in Columbia. I will always remember her contagious laughter and the hopes and dreams she had for her children. Her eyes would light up when she would talk about them and I know she loved them dearly. You are gone too soon Melissa, but I hope that now you have eternal peace...

Melissa i love you and you will always be my best friend, no one could ever replace you. We have been best friends since we were 12 or so. I was the right hand and you were the left. We did so many fun things together. We were there for each other when are children were born and through some of the toughest times of our lives. You were my sister, and i loved you more than you'll ever know. I am deeply hurt by your untimely death and it seems like a bad dream that i cannot wake up from. I will always have you in my heart and i promise you i will make sure your children are looked after, after all i am Aunt Kim. I don't know how i am going to go on without you but i know God will help me through this, and i know i wil see you again someday. Until then rest in peace. I love you Melissa and im gona miss you.

I can't even believe this has happened. She was a great woman, we talked all the time and had nothing but good times together. She was also a great grandmother, her grandson loved her and even though she did not have much time with him her memory will be forever in his heart. He will know what a wonderful woman she was and we all will miss her.
