Melissa was such a kind soul. I didn't get to know her well but she was always so sweet when ever I would see her. May her spirit find peace. May her loved ones also find peace. So sorry for your loss.

I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. Loosing a loved one is such a difficult thing to deal with, and no one should tell us how long we should feel the grief. In the days to come hopefully this promise will begin to give you some hope. It's found in Gods word the bible, at Revelation 21:4 " And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more....."
