One of our favorites time was going to Atlantic City for New Years Eve in 1999 with you guys. Chip was losing money at the slots and Melissa came back to the room with $1,000 from a win at the slots...he went out the door to loose the rest of what we brought.
Melissa was truly a shining star. Always greeting us and the kids with a smile. She will be greatly missed.

Greg and Tolston, just now heard the news on Melissa. We are so sad and in shock. We will always remember the fun times we had next door to each other at the Big Party on the River. Melissa always had a kind word and a smile every time we saw her. Melissa was the kind of person that always had gracious words to say and would be the first to lend a helping hand if needed. We will miss her, you are in our prayers. Take care.

To all the family, We will miss the warm caring person Melissa was. She was beautiful inside and out always smiling never seemed to be upset when we saw her and always concerned about how everyone in the family was doing as she called each one she knew by name.
Though the days ahead may be dark and lonely as the void is there, we can think of her laughter and love for life and laugh with her.
Love to you all,
