I sure hate to hear this. I loved her. I became acquainted with her through the hospital. Me and her became friends and I thought a lot of her. I always enjoyed our conversations. Will miss her.
She was a very sweet and brave person. My prayers are with the family.
So sorry to hear of this passing may God strengthen this family with peace and comfort.
She was an amazing soul that was passionate and active in one of my groups on facebook. She will be dearly missed by her friends and those of us that looked up to her. There are hundreds mourning your loss with you.
I am the administrator for a Facebook site set up in April of 2018 to honor the late Barbara Bush. A group from Texas and other states desired to wear pearls on the day of Mrs. Bush’s funeral in her honor. The participants decided to keep the site open and encourage people to support literacy causes, something very dear to Mrs. Bush. Melissa was the participant who suggested the name for the site, and it became “Pearls of Wisdom.” There was much chatter in early months and Melissa informed us of her illness. She was a kind and delightful person, always uplifting to others. Her gracious spirit in the face of illness truly blessed me. I wanted to get this information out to Melissa’s family and friends so they would know she had touched the hearts of many. Peace and love to you all. Linda Embrey, Las Vegas NV.
