Melissa had an infectious smile and personality that would light up a room. Melissa touched so many lives in her 46 years here on this earth. Her love for her family was amazing and her sheer WILL to battle literally anything that tried to separate her from her family was heroic. Some things that she enjoyed doing with her family were watching movies, playing board games, and traveling. She had a dream of traveling the nation in an RV with her whole family to see all of the sights that the United States has to offer. Her love for traveling and going on adventures were some of her favorite activities to do with her family. She also loved chocolate, especially Dutch Chocolate Bluebell ice cream. Her favorite color was turquoise, and she loved fuzzy socks. You could rarely find her in her own home without fuzzy socks and a warm fuzzy blanket. She loved to be cozy. But most of all, she loved to spend time with her family. We miss her so much; we have a giant hole in our hearts. Heaven has received another angel.
