Oh Melissa... I still tear up thinking about you. It was 'National Daughters Day' yesterday. I thought of you and Sadie. I miss our hilarious banters we had when we were 16 and working our first job at GT. Going for our yearly Festival of Lights at the Ex and getting hot chocolate every Christmas. Having movie nights at my sister's place. And so many more memories. I couldn't believe the news. I was in absolute shock. We had just talked the day before. I'm glad we said "I love you" at the end of every phone call. I miss you. You were a very good friend. I hope you're still resting easy in your paradise. I'll see you on the other side. -Ash My sincere condolences.

I am so very sorry Jackie. May you and your family be lifted up from family and friends. 32 is just too young💜. Hug to you. 

Rip Melissa I’ll never forget that big smile until we meet again my friend ❤

I will surely be donating to the Humane Society for all the kitties 🐱 !!! As ty you  and I just loveeeeed them kitties so very much.... all the memes I sent you like every couple days ha ha!!! Two yrs after we lived together and I still filled ur dm’s with like a million but u loved it 👍♥️!!! Melissa I will find some pics if I’m able nevertheless, I will miss u so very much. Yet in my heart, you’ll never really be gone, as your presence will always be in my heart ( even thou you were always such a lil’ mouse... so quiet but soooo very tough and strong at the same time !!!!)  I will ALWAYS remember the dedication your showed for life when we met, and with that, helped me on my journey; telling me what I NEEDED to hear, not necessarily what I wanted to hear. Omgoodness and all the nonsense we chatted about after the visits ( ha ha I think you remember.... we were like,” Can you believe such and such about so and so...”!!! We had a blast going on about  about this and that.... I won’t soon forget ☺️ I cannot put into words how special you were, so I just won’t as honestly; its really just impossible to put into words!!! And goodness me!!! What a Mom u were; as we took buses from soooo very far ( 2 hrs there and then two hrs back ) to go visit Sadie for two hrs and all the snacks we ate and such giggles and fun we had. So much love was always all around us during those unbelievably memorable visits. That’s what I’ll remember; how sweet you were but only few got to see all the wonderful layers you attained .... till we meet again my lovely friend ♥️

We are so sorry to hear of Melissa’s passing. Jackie, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers ❤ Sending our love. Lisa Bisesi
