My heart is broken at the loss of my dear friend, Melissa. When my grandson was diagnosed with autism she promised to pray for him. She faithfully did. She considered him our special angel. When things were difficult she would say to me that he was going to be a great man of God some day. One of my last visits I brought her a picture of Jackson and she smiled and gently touched his face , “my special boy, my special little angel”. Her love for him never waivered.
Melissa, I will remember your laughter and great sense of humor. I’ll remember our good times at New Life and the Tuesday women’s bible study. I’ll remember your faith, courage, compassion and bravery. I’ll remember how you loved your friends and even when facing cancer you always asked how we were doing. I will remember that one day we will rejoice together in heaven. May God welcome you and say “Well done my good and faithful daughter!”
