I worked with Melissa at Burge. She was so much fun. I’ll never forget after we survived our 2 weeks out at Mayflower a group of us decided to go celebrate. We were playing darts and she had us all laughing with her ‘girly’ dart throwing. So much fun. She always had me laughing. I will miss her. My condolences to her family and will keep you all in my thoughts. xo Destinee

Mom i miss you so much. We have had are ups and downs but you were always there when I needed you. I'm hurting so much and wish I could see you one more time. You were so strong through this horrible sickness and I'm so proud of you for fighting so hard. You were beyond strong and I hope I'm half as strong as you if I ever have to be. Jocelyn wrote you a letter and sent it up to you in heaven attached to a balloon. I hope you get it. She is so sad and broken without her granny pannies. Lol Kyla misses you too. We will always have you in our hearts and now we have a new guardian angel. Tell grandpa I miss and love him too. I bet he was waiting for you at the gates of heaven. I love you.

I will forever miss you mom, you were my best friend and even though we have had our differences over the years we've always worked them out. I'm sad you're gone and I'm even sadder that my babies hurt and miss you too. You'll never get to see them graduate or get married or have children of their own but I know you'll watch over them and myself. Trying to explain to the girls that you're no longer with us was by far the hardest thing I've had to do because they don't understand. Charlotte thinks you flew up to a cloud right next to the sun on a unicorn and now you have angel wings too. Amelia misses her best friend and wants to see you and i don't know what to do. I listen to your voice mail of you singing to me several times a day and I txt you daily updates. I miss when I'd call and you'd answer and I'd say Mom and you'd say Molly, it was our thing and it made me so happy. I miss calling you when I got to cedar Rapids and reading you the joke of the day on the billboard. My life doesn't make sense without you in it. I'm so proud of you for fighting so hard and your strength. You'll forever be missed. You're favorite child, just kidding. I love you momma

We had a lot of good years together . A lot of grate memories she gave all she had to fight her Cancer she went threw Hell it was so sad to watch her go that way my Heart will always be with you

Love You Melissa you rest in peace There's A big hole in my Heart

That you once filled God be with you
