Farewell to Melissa
On March 1, 2008 a young lady named Melisa was tragically killed. She was the daughter of a cousin of my wife and a very special person. While we had not seen much of her during her young life, to know her for a moment is to know her your whole life long.
Melissa was one of those rare people that you know from the very first was a Child of God. Every pore of her body radiated the Love of Christ and her passion for life. It was impossible for her to have a bad thought about anything, everything was part of the joy of Jesus. I’m sorry that I did not know her better because I miss her. Even though I had not seen her for several years, I still recall often the fun and excitement that surrounded her as a child. It never left her.
Now that Melissa is with her Lord, I am sure as anything in my life that she is sitting in the bosom of Jesus, making silly faces, telling stupid jokes and tugging on his beard as she did with me, and making him laugh so hard that he is crying.
God has bless us with you life Melissa, and we miss you so much. Watch from heaven and send us the joy you have so that we may always remember that Jesus loved you so much, He called you home.

I’m sorry to hear of your loss. But happy to know that there is comfort for you and the family in knowing that she is with our Lord.
Thank’s Wendy. Congrad’s on the kitten. We look for the little things that bring joy when we are faced with grief. Everybody at the service was trilled with Luke and Julia’s baby Corbin while trying to deal with their own grief. God blesses in many ways. -Paul
