Melissa, where do I even begin? 33 years of memories, love, laughter, mischief, the highs and lows that life had to offer us. You’re the Lucy to my Ethel and no one will ever replace you. So many moments…we met in English class and immediate hit it off, bonding over our similar names and Mr. Taylor spilling water for his tea in his lap and not being able to hold in our giggles, to turning up the car stereo because you couldn’t hear Madonna on the Evita soundtrack over my tire blowing on I-4 while my sister and her friend were ducking for their lives thinking we were shot at. We were there for each other’s weddings and the birth of each of our kids. We’ve stood up for each other no matter what or to whom. Whenever life got in the way of us spending time together it was as though we never missed a second, regardless of how long it had been. I feel so privileged to have you as my partner in crime and friend for life and to have been able to be with you as you fought the biggest fight. I will love and treasure you and our friendship for the rest of my life. Thank you for being a friend, my Golden Girl, forever.
I will always remember Melissa’s warmth and the joy she brought to everyone around her. I loved our conversations at Julia’s softball games and Luke’s hockey games, she was always so proud of them. She loved talking about her boys and they always brought her so much happiness. She sparked a new joy in my kids by getting them into karaoke, which has brought us so many fun memories and every time we pull out our machine we will think of her. Her kindness, laughter, and love for her family will never be forgotten. I am so glad we got closer to her the last few years and I know she will be watching over and protecting her boys, niece and nephew. We love you Melissa!
