Melissa Davidson Obituary

Happy Birthday Beautiful . This is your auntie Eliza missing you is always honey. I think about your everyday love and just wish you were still here with us where you are supposed to be :-( Tell Daddy and Grandma hello for me I love you

Happy Birthday, Mel.

My Japanese maple is bursting forth in colors that chase away the colder temps -- just like your smile!

Missing you, Bear

Missing you Mel

Missing you sweet cousin on this Thanksgiving. You're anyways in my heart

Missing you!

Happy Birthday, Mel!
You've got a full moon, but we can't see it behind the clouds at the moment. Big freeze coming again tonight, so I just spent two hours covering up the wildflowers. Might be able to squeeze another two weeks out of 'em. Meanwhile, I'm gonna tip back just one beer, while I remember your sunny sweetness!
Bear

Happy birthday Mel I hope ur enjoying ur wings

Happy Birthday, Mel!

The cold weather slammed us recently, but I see you brought sun & nice weather for your special day. My wildflowers are even still blooming for you! I'll tip back a beer for you later...after the day's work is done.

Miss you, kiddo!
Love, Bear

Hi Mel,

It took eleven years, but your birthday is finally on Friday the 13th again! Happy Birthday! Wish we could be having a beverage together to celebrate, but I'll have one for you on this beautiful autumn day.

Miss you! Love, Bear

Gone but will never be forgotten. Miss you Mel!

Thanks again Bear so much for caring so deeply about my Dear Beautiful Niece . I'm sure she Loved You back.... There is a Memorial for her tonight at 630. Not sure if you are aware or could make it. North Riverside park. Off Cermak on Desplaines

Happy late Birthday My Beautiful Niece ,. You were on my mind all day yesterday. Really Really miss you too much Honey... .

Happy Birthday, Mel!

It was a nice sunny, if coolish, autumn day and I think you would have liked it. I always think that we should be having lunch to celebrate! Poor old bear can't even drink a real drink, because I got into something in the yard the other day and have a rash on both arms, Grrrr. But, I'll toast you with a Cherry Coke Zero and remember your smile...always!

Love, Bear

Love and miss you always!

It's that time again, Mel. Happy Birthday!

I guess the Cubs tried to give you a present by clinching a playoff series at home. Wish the Sox would have done it! Of course, you would be happy just to be happy. I always loved the way you found something good overlooked by everyone else.

Still miss you lots, kiddo. Still wonder what you would be like at this age?

Love,
Bear

Mel bel,

I miss you so much! Never got a chance to tell you what you meant to me. The memories together I will always cherish. I love you!

Happy Birthday, Melissa!

Did the Big Guy put you in charge of the weather today? Wild stuff...rain, wind, lightning and maybe tornadoes? I'm sure that you would still find something to laugh about and make everyone around you a little happier! Miss you lots, kiddo.

there isnt a day that goes by that i dont think of u chick i miss u sooooooo much i love u and i know ur watching over me and our friends

Dear Kristen,
I'm glad that this little spot and some words and thoughts seem to ease your pain. Although I knew Mel for such a short time, compared to you, I can appreciate your loneliness. Our company moved two months ago and I can no longer look upon the desk where Mel sat. No matter who was sitting there, I always saw Mel's smile and heard her infectious laugh all these years. But, she still smiles and laughs in our hearts!

I only met you once, on a terrible day for meeting people, but I still occasionally look at a couple photos that I scanned from a picture on Mel's desk. You wore a red sweater and Mel wore a red dress, with a black jacket. There was a starburst background. So, you're in my thoughts, too. If you ever need to share such thoughts, feel free to contact me. Mel would like that.

I never let myself feel how much I actually miss you. I wish we were growing older together. I wish you were here. I'm so tired of being alone, Mel.

Thanks, Bear, for keeping this open for my sister. Your messages to her mean a lot to me.

Happy Birthday, Melissa!
It's a perfect autumn day, with blue skies and a crisp breeze. A good day for thinking about you and remembering your smile.

Happy Birthday, Melissa!

Of course, you're remembered more than once a year, but this day does belong to you. It's rainy and cool, but you would like the way the wet autumn colors are shimmering.

Miss you lots,
Bear

Hello Beautiful, Its been awhile since I've sent you a message, Sorry. We still Miss you too much & that will never change. You are supposed to be here with us honey. Spring is one of your favorite times.Tell your Dad, Grandma Dora,Grandma & Grandpa Newsom an our others that are with you that we love an miss them too. Until later my Beautiful niece.

Hey girlfriend...been thinking about you lately...hope you had a good bday..miss you with all my heart. Everytime I see Fannie May Candy I think of you. Please help me through out life please be my guide..xoxo.

Happy Birthday, Mel!
Looks like it's just you and me here, kiddo. That's ok, cuz I'm sure everyone else just remembers you in their own way!

So, I had a really rotten day at work today, but when I got out back to my car, I looked up and saw this HUGE perfect rainbow...made me think of you! Then, I was driving west into the sunset and it was fantanstic. Probably just you -- playing with God's crayons!
Love,
Bear

Happy Birthday, MelBelle!
I don't drink very much these days, but I just cracked open a Killian's to celebrate with ya! We just hired a new receptionist who reminds me of you. She's a sweet & petite cheerleader, very pretty with a great personality. Very easy to talk to -- even for a dumb old bear like me! That's probably what I miss about you the most, Mel.
Love always,
Bear

Hello Melissa,

Wow I cannot believe it has been two years since you passed... It seems like just yesterday we went to the circus... I still cannot believe you are gone and now it is almost one year since Uncle Willie has been gone! I miss you to more the I can describe. I just wish I wouldn't have taken anytime I had with either of you for granted.

I love you so much and hope you are happy and looking down on all of us that still hurt for you. A young girl that I went to school with died a few days ago and it just shot a reminder how short and delicate life is. I just want you to know we all miss you just as much as ever and have/will not EVER forget you!

MelBell*~
Not a day goes by when i dont think about you, and all the years we had together! I miss you more then words can explain...And at the moment i just wish u were here so i can tell u im prego!

Hi Beautiful, Missing your beautiful smile honey. Its another Easter without you. Hug our family for me sweetie. Loving and missing you every day. Love, Auntie Liza and Family

Melissa,

It has been awhile since I was able to write anything to you. I just wanted to tell you I love you so much and miss you just as much. Its still so hard for me to realize your not with us anymore. I know you had so much more you wanted to do in life and I am sorry you are not able to do that. Even though you are not here in life you are in each and everyones heart. You have taught us to not take one day for granted and I thank you for that. I love you Melissa. At least now you and your father are together and happy! I miss you both and think about the two of you everyday. I love you..

Hi my Beautiful Girl, We have a brand new year again, A very sad day for me, only bad thing so far is I am are really missing you an your father and too many more of our loved one. The holiday's are not ever going to be the same, neither is life without you all for me. Not a day passes me by without thinking and praying that you all are there together and I will be with you one day. I'm so so sad. Signing out saying I love you all honey, please hug each other for me an take care of each other till I get there to help you k. Loving you,Happy New Year..Auntie Liza

Hey Beautiful,

We miss you soo much. Very unfortunate that we couldn't grow up together some more. Losing you was very hard for all of us...Not fair that you couldn't get married, have babies, and enjoy a long fulfilled life. But within us, you live. We think of you often, and just wish we could have spent more time with you. I know now how important life is, and to love my family every single day. I love you Melissa, and miss you more than i can put into words.

XOXOXOXOXOXO

Dear Mel,
It just doesn't seem right to wish you a happy birthday, but I'm thinking it all the same. Time doesn't heal all wounds, though it may eventually soften the blow. Whenever I see a pretty girl rollerblading along the river, I think of you and wonder what life would be like today if only...

I wonder how big your nest would be today? You were so thrilled about that kitchen table your mom gave you...because it was all yours to add on to...one twig at a time. Castles come in all sizes and you would have made a splendid queen!

It's a gray day outside. A good day to relect upon sunny memories.
Happy Birthday, Shorty!

melissa,
my god its been so long since u've passed. you know there is not a day that goes by that i dont think of you. you seriously were my best friend when we met. you were there for me so much. if i ever needed anything i knew i could just call you. you were so beautiful melissa. i remember we would talk about being pretty and your sisters name came out of your mouth everytime. you thought she was so pretty and you were right she looks like you. she was your everything. i still keep all the memories we have close to my heart. there was not a time that i was with you that we werent smiling. i miss you so much melissa. sometimes when im just thinking its hard for me to believe that your gone. but i know your in a better place. i just wish it hadnt happened so soon. your always in my heart girl dont ever forget that. r.i.p love you girl
Erika Flores

Your Cuz,

Hi my Sweet Angel, Oh baby you are missed so bad, its really hard to take. But now is even harder. I just lost my Only Brother, Your Father. It helps me to accept this because I Know he is with you in Heaven and He is finally in peace with the most precious thing in his life...You. He brought the family here for a week vacation and passed away in his sleep four days later. Your little sister Ashley is almost identical to you. It was like looking back in time. It Really hurts honey. I'm posting your sister and brother's picture. They sure miss you, and now they have accept the lose of their dad to. But they know he's with you. So my Sweet Neice Melissa I love and miss you Please give your Daddy Willie and Grandma Dora a kiss for me. My Heart is so broken. Love, Auntie Liza

Melissa I have attempted to sign tis book several times and it never works but I just wanna let you know i regret every chance I had to get to know you better that i didn't take. We were cousins and my mom your godmother and even though I knew you were a wonderful beautiful person I never tried to get to know you better.

Always thinking.. next time. the next time we are in the same place at the same time we will sit down and talk.. I ran out of next times..

Melissa I love you so much and im glad the last memory I had of you was the circus with the family. I love you more then you proabably ever knew and I know one day we will be reunited then we will have our time. I love you.

Your cousin,

We're missing you too much Sweetie. I'm posting a picture of you and your Dad, I Know you would like it. You look so happy together. Love you babygirl. Auntie Liza and Family

Hey Mel I miss you gurl.Ill never forget all the stupid immature things we did and spent months laughing about. Riding our bikes all over town, or how bout the night the bench broke and I ended up in the mud. You were the best best friend I could have ever hoped for. Your in my heart forever and ever. I miss you Mel rest in peace. Love u gurl

Dear Mel,
You're still missed! A whole summer has passed by, along with the holidays and long weekends that you were so looking forward to. Today is Friday the 13th! We should have had our lunch to celebrate your 21st birthday -- and an "adult beverage" to wash it down with, too. I wish I could give you a big bear hug, hunny.

Melissa, I just pray that you no how very special you are to us. You are my only God Child and it will be so hard to be in this world without you and your beautiful smiling face. You are and always was so special to everyone who knew you. It was so wrong for you to have to leave us so early, But now we have our own Special Angel waiting for us in Heaven. Love and miss you so much Baby Girl. The empty hole left in our hearts can never be mended. Loving and missing you Beautiful Girl. Your Auntie Liza

Melissa was a wonderful person. I have not seen her in about a year, but I will never forget how she would jump the fence to come to my back door to see Jessica. I am glad that Mel and Jess got to spend jr. high and high school together. May God bless her and your family at this time.

You have passed away

And I can only pray

That God is taking care of you

In a very special way

You were 20 years old

And I had many great years with you

Your mind was sharp

Your heart was great

You were my friend

And I will miss you

Until the very day that I will see you again

In heaven

Until then you will only be just a memory away

The loss of someone so close is difficult to bear. We share your grief. Our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

You were so full of life, always smiling and carefree. Life loved you being a part of it, and i loved you being a part of me.



You could make anyone laugh, if they were having a bad day. No matter how upset i was, you knew how to take the pain away.



Nothing could ever stop you, or even make you fall. You were ready to take on the world, ready to do it all.



But God decided he needed you, so from our world you left. You took a piece of all of us, our hearts are what you kept.



Your seat is now empty, and it's hard not to see your face. But please always know this, no one will ever take your place.



Nothing will ever be the same, the rooms are empty without your laughter. But i know you're up in heaven, watching over us and looking after.



I remember you swaying next to me on our swingset's swing when you were just child. And the last time I ever saw you, i reminded myself again that you are the prettiest woman i know.



Your smile could brighten anyone's day, no matter what they were going through. And I know everyday for the rest of my life, i will be missing you.



Mel, my big sister, my only one. You're the reason the shade of my eyeshadow matches my outfits perfectly. You're the reason I wore a black velvet dress for my eigth grade graduation picture, you are the reason I learned how to talk to people, you are the reason why I am going to be everything I'm meant to be and more. I promised you that the day I leave for college, if you still hadn't made it there, I'd take you with me. The day I leave, I know you'll be right by my side. Momma is going to take me driving now, I'll have my license by September. You won't be there to hug me close for my sixteenth birthday, nor your twenty first. But I know I'll be carrying your heart in mine. Every attribute about you, I always looked up to. I am who I am today because I had a beautiful woman to help guide me. I'm gonna be okay Melissa. I have mom and dad and our family. They all love us so much. Getting through the holidays and walking through the family without you by my side is going to be hard for me. But you taught me well. I'm sorry that we don't get to grow up together, I know that we always promised eachother we would. God just wanted his turn to be with the woman he spent just a little more time on to be extraordinary. I'm going to be strong for you, for mom and dad. I have to be. I have to be alright. And I will be. I promise promise promise. And you know, I don't break promises. I'll love you forever Mel Bel.



Your younger yet bigger sister.

Kristen

Some people live their whole lives and never learn to be kind to others. At such a tender age, you knew how important it was to show people that you cared. That is a true gift. I feel lucky to have known you. I will truly miss you.

Melissa,

Since you became a part of the family, I have loved you. I always looked forward to catching up on your world when we got together on holidays. There will be a void that cannot be filled. Love you and miss you.

Melissa, all the McCormacks will miss you. You brought laughter and joy when we were together. Your place will always be at our table. We know you will be watching over us. Love you forever

The Parkinsons and McCormacks

What can I say? Nothing that will undo this awful thing. I didn't have the chance to meet you but I feel like I have known you most of your life. My heart grieves for the woman you would have been. I pray that your family finds the strength to get through this sad time and to remember all of the gladness and joy that I know you brought into their lives. God bless you and keep you in his loving embrace.

The Bogusz family

Melissa,

i just met you about a year and a half ago and it seems like ive known you for years. you were a great friend and you were always there for me when i needed you. you will be missed greatly and i will never forget a person so great as you. the memories will always be in my heart and may you Rest In Peace.

Every soul owes life a death. Between each heartbeat is a moment within which the pulse is still. In the longer beat between life and death a woman was here we called a friend, a daughter, a sister, a cousin. She is us and we are her, her death is ours, our lives are hers.



Some see Heaven as dying's recompense, so acknowledge only nothingness in a space we know not of, in a place we know not where. But this we know, as a poet said, "To have been here but the once Never can be undone."



Some will pray, some just remember. Those who remember, having remembered for awhile, will in the course of time forget, more so as the years dissolve. This is as it should be lest death overstep its bounds and impinge too much on life. Life, being what is, cannot impinge too much on death.



The circumstance we most desire in greif which shakes our branches like some holy hurricane raging through this barren world of little light, is that our sister will be gathered in glory. If so, rejoice! If wishful thinking give thanks instead that she was here among us. Delivered from the testing fire of pain, a truer heart was never broken.

Sweet Melissa...although I've known you barely one year, you've made an imprint upon my soul. I am certain that you will explore Heaven with all the innocent love and enthusiasm that kept me smiling inside during our much too brief friendship.

I'll miss you so much, Shorty!

Love always, Kenny

My dear daughter,

How can I stop the tears. How will I live without you. My precious baby.

I will think of you every day. I will hold you in my arms again.

I love my mel bel.

I love Melissa so much! She always had that smile to get me through a bad day. I will miss her a lot. Your family has been in our prayers, and i hope they will help through this sad time.

god speed mellbell we love you and will miss the smiles and bubbles. P.S. enjoy the wings. We will always remember you sweatheart! god bless you.
