As you all know, our dear friend
has been taken away from us.
Most of us knew her as Melissa,
but her real name was Marion.
What ever she called herself it
did not matter. Like the old saying
, " A rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
Here was a sweet, gentle, shy person
who tried to make everyone she met
feel a little joy and put a smile on
your face.
Her gift for giving was a true
blessing to us all.

I know I and many others
will miss her e-mails of loving poetry,
cute gifs, or words of wisdom
to live by.
Her passing has left a hole in our hearts
that can never be filled
and she will never be forgotten.
And so my friend,
I pray that you have found
what you were looking for
and that God fills your heart
and soul with love and joy.
Good bye Mel, until we meet again.

Your loving friend, Judy
