Dear Chuckie, Kim, and Charlie,



i am very saddened and shocked about hearing the death of Missy. She was such a sweet person and was a fun to be with her while we were visiting. I remember when i was about 7 years old at our old house when you all came to visit us all the adults were sitting outside and me and Melissa were riding bikes together up and down the block. The bike ride together was very fun! I also remember visiting at your house she was teaching me and frankie how to play a video game. She was very smart and had one of those bubbly personalities! You are all in our hearts and we love you!

Love Always,

Lauren

Jessica & I were sorry to hear of Melissa's passing.We were out of town and could not make it to the funeral. We will always remember Melissa for making things fun and exciting, especially at the sleep overs! She was a doll. May you find comfort in knowing she is at peace. Our prayers are with you.

Kim, Charlie, and Chuckie...



My words can not even begin to express my deepest sympathies for the loss of such a sweet daughter as Missy. She was the bright spot in alot of my days. I will never forget the hours the girls would all spend talking about dance, school and boys here at the house. Missy's smile was one that distinguished ber from all others. She could light up a room by just walking into it. Her big eyes are watching as everyone morns your loss. She may not physically be with us any longer but her memory will live in the hearts of all that knew and loved her. You may not physcially beable to touch her now as she has touched the hearts and lives of so many. But Missy is holding your hand now and giving you the strength you need to go on. Missy will always be in our hearts and the memories we have all shared with her will live forever. As the days go on our thoughts and our prayers will always be with you and your family. Missy had touched the lives of so many people, she was and always will be one very special girl in our hearts. Once again my sympathies are with you and your family and I will be there in a minute if you need anything. Y

dear kim and family,

my heart is broken. melissa was my favorite. she was special and so beautiful. and her laughter, i can still hear her voice in my head. remember the dance convention we went to together,the party she organized for me?

remember the italian

dinner/fund raiser we did,and melissa's moustache was smeared all over her face by the end of the night? she was a joy to teach, a joy to be around, and i love her very very much. i will always think of melissa, and say to myself, "now that girl, she was something special". thank you for bringing her into all of our lives.

kim, anything you need, at all, please dont hesitate. you, especially, in all of this. i am aching for you.

i can only aspire to be a good mother like you someday. you did everything with her.remember all the crowns of flowers you made for her recital?

driving her to all her practices and chaperoning and volunteering for her projects and functions? kim, she cracked me up,

i always laughed when she was around. she was so happy. you had everything to do with that.



my deepest deepest sympanthy for you and your family. she is a spirit. and she is very much alive. i love you. stella xxx

To the Waston family,



I have no idea where to begin. Melissa was a smart, beautiful, humorous, and talented young girl that will be missed greatly. There are so many memories of Missy...

~When we all went to DQ with the silly hats.

~ Missy and all of her sparklie/glittery tights.

~ The night we were at Morgans and Missy said she was tired so she went to sleep and a half an hour later sat up and just started talking about her socks.

~ My freshman year when she took me to orientation ( she showed me where all my classes were and the shortest route to all of them)

~ And many more....

Melissa was a true friend. Even though Melissa and I were not really the best of friends this year I always knew that if I needed someone to talk to I could count on her and viceversa. Melissa will never be forgotten... There are always the memories.....

Dearest Kim,



Our prayers and love are with you. Our hearts are breaking for you and your family. Kimmie, there are just NO words, NONE, that can express our sorrow for you, Chuckie and Charlie.

To the entire Watson Family:

Words fail. There is no way to respond to such a terrible and tragic shock. I just called Stella in L.A. and she is devastated. There is nothing we can think of to comfort you at this time, except to tell you that Stella and I loved your daughter very much. Her energy, wit, talent, and sweet personality made us all richer, happier, and better for having shared in her young life. Losing a child is the worst thing a parent can experience; losing a child like Melissa must be unspeakable. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your whole family. Please know we are ready to help you in any way possible;just say the word. Our tears and pain will at some point abate, but Melissa's memory shines in our hearts and always will...and the memories! How she shone, and laughed, and lived will serve as a model for our own lives. We are deeply sorry for your loss...and the world's as well. She sure was something, so special, wasn't she? Such a little doll! Such a loss. I'm sorry that my words cannot fully express the depth of our feelings for the loss of Melissa and all the pain you must be feeling. I guess that's all that can be said at this point. Our love and our prayers go to you all. George, Kathleen, Stella, and John Katsoudas

To the parents of melissa,



Melissa was one very special person to all of the people that knew her. She was very caring and showed alot of feelings towards her friends. If you were a friend of hers she would help you in any way, shape, or form she could. The ways she touched the hearts of so many people is unbelievable. Every second of the day I think about this and hope that she is looking down from above watching out for the choices that await all of us. Although she will be missed, she will never go unforgotten.



Memories...

I will always remember her smile and her advice she would give to me when I was confused.



I will always remember the her love for her brother that she talked about all the time.



I will always remember the gummy candy she always had with her.



Sincerely,

Brandon Miller



Ps. Eventhough she is not here with us physically, she is always in our thoughts, prayers, and hearts.
