Melissa, You were the greatest. Each morning when you greeted me at work you always had a smile and never complained to me about anything. You were always prompt, courteous and well loved by everyone at work. I will truly miss you greatly and you will be in my heart, thoughts and prayers forever. I was in too much pain to visit you one last time but I know you understand why. Until we meet again, Thanks for everything Melissa.

I am so very sorry for your loss. The death of young person always makes me distressed. What helps me endure the death of a love one is knowing that these things will not continue on. God promises that he will "wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore...". I hope you can find comfort in that.
