I sat here at first not remembering who melissa was. I read some of these posts and realized that the melissa that knew everybody's name in the chat room, the melissa who almost always greeted everyone who logged on. She made me feel so welcomed in the cf.com world. She gave me advice when I didn't know who to turn to or where to turn. I didn't know her personally, but I have spent quite a few hours reading her posts and getting advice from her, and having great conversations. I honestly, don't know what to say. Except that this world has definitely lost someone special. She had a huge impact on the way that I think of things. I give Mel's family my condolescenses. I hope and pray for peace be upon the family and that Heaven knows the kind of wonderful person that Melissa was and always will be. She has helped me get through a few hard times. I don't know what I will do without her. I know that she will be greatly missed. I am so, so sorry to hear that she is gone!
I say this with tears flowing down my face,
<i>Melissa, may you be given all of blessings that you gave to everyone else!</i>
