    Melissa and I didnt know each other long I actually meant her at My Sister’s Place. We connected right away as our kids where about the same age. My heart goes out to all of you in this time especially her daughter Brooke cause I know Melissa loved her very much and only wanted the best for her. Once again I’m so sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this very hard time just remember all the wonderful times that you all had together and that will make you all a bit stronger. I myself have gone through something similar last summer when my boyfriend pasted away so I know exactly how hard this must be on all of you but I try everyday to remember all the wonderful times that we had together because the memories are what helps to make each day a little easier knowing that they are no longer in pain and that they are with us in every step we make. Once again my thoughts and prayers are with all of you,
    Mel, Riley and Kayden
