I always loved seeing Mellissa come in for scans and treatment. As a CT TECH we don't get to get close with a lot of our patients, but Mellissa for some reason I felt a connection with. It's like a friend I never got to know in life or a girl that could have been a sister to me. I always liked to make her smile when she came in. The last time she came in I was asking about her kids and talking with her mom. I know the kids were having a really really hard time. I hope they know she was such a rare light in this dark world that God really needed her to be an angel to help others. She was put on earth to have her children and see them grow but was called home too early. My heart goes out to them!!!! I truly feel we lost a treasured soul. I will miss seeing her and look forward to seeing her again one day. Love you girl!

Melissa was a teen when I was her pastor. She was a sweetheart then and I´m sure she remained so her entire life! I am so sorry for your great loss. I pray God will wrap His arms of love around all of you! Blessings from Above!
