My sincere condolences to the family, and I hope that these promises from God's Word will bring them comfort now, and in the days to come. Jehovah God is close to the brokenhearted, and he will wipe away the tears from all faces. Psalms 34:18; Isaiah 25:8. Peace be with you dear family.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I was hoping to attend the service but due to the time of day I must work as they only let off for immediate family members. I cannot comfort U like Jesus can so hold on to him. I have been praying for all of U and will continue in the days ahead. If ever U have specific ways for me to pray just let me know.

I am so sorry to read about your loss, I never met Melissa but I wanted to take a moment to express my condolences. It is always difficult to lose a loved one but is especially tragic to lose them at such a young age. Fortunately, death is only a temporary part of life. Although your time with Melissa was cut short, you can have the hope of being reunited with her forever. In the meantime, even though the pain may at times seem insurmountable, rest assured that God will give you the strength necessary to endure. (Psalm 94:17-19) Please accept my deepest sympathy and sincerest condolences.

Sending my deepest sympathies and condolences to Melissa's entire family. I thought you all might like to know how many lives she touched and friendships she made when she lived in Kewanee and worked at Charitable Resource Foundation. We are all deeply saddened by her loss, she will never be forgotten by her former CRF family. She loved her daughter dearly and kept pictures if her up in her work station. She spoke of her twin often as well and how she missed everyone when she here. Again, my prayers and condolences to all. May special memories fill your hearts during this difficult time.

While I did not know Melissa, her sister Michelle is my good friend and hairdresser. I am terribly sorry for the family's loss. She has left this Earth as we know it, but as long as you keep her in your hearts and in your minds, she will never truly be gone from you. She will be all around you. My sympathies.
