This man has been highly favored and greatly blessed to have been a part of this beautiful lady's vibrant Christian life !

Indeed, Melissa lived to a 'Higher Calling'

She is with her Lord as we all grieve her passing. Life for Mellisa was about HIM, never herself ! She truly embodied the most giving, caring, and loving lady this man has ever known.

May we all look forward to joining with her again. PTL !

I knew Melissa from playing tennis and singing karaoke. I immediately found her to be a very charming, delightful, fun and feisty person. Not only did she have fun but she helped everyone else have fun. She wasn't only about having fun but also about doing the right thing. Whether it was tennis or corn hole she made sure everyone followed the rules and everyone got to participate. I certainly could see why she made such a great teacher. For someone who cared so much about doing the right thing and helping others her ending is even more tragic. Life could not be more unfair then how she died. It is fairly easy to accept natural deaths caused by old age but sudden deaths that are caused by such a horrific, intentional wrong is extremely difficult. I wish I had some comforting words for all who knew her but I do not. The most comforting thing will be the memories we had with her and the positive influence she had on all of us. Her influence will not only help her students thrive in this world but will allow the adults who knew her to be stronger people to make this world a better place.

I never met Melissa, but live in the same apartment community. Like her, I’m a huge Packers fan and when I heard what had happened my heart ached for her family. May you find peace in her memory. My heart and condolences are with you.

I worked with Melissa during my time at Wyalusing Academy. I enjoyed her positive attitude. She went beyond her duties to teach me how to work with the youth at Wyalusing Academy. I am sad that this world does not have her here anymore. She made this world a better place. Melissa and her family are in my thoughts.

I met Melissa in 8th grade. The years have blurred how we met but the following years weren’t so much a blur. Yes, we made lots of bad, questionable decisions in high school fueled by wine coolers and cheap schnapps but darn did we have fun! I wish we could have spent more time together as adults. This tragedy has robbed the world of a bright soul. My condolences to Morgan and the family.

I met Melissa, in Puerta vallarta, with my daughter. We hit it off right away. As we spoke, she said I am going to fly to Coeur d Alene Idaho to visit you for Christmas, we took a limo and went to a 10 course meal. We had alot of fun. Melissa, is beautiful, kind, gentle, and a lot of FUN!!
We will always think of Melissa with the fondness of memories. She is always in our hearts.
Melissa was one of a kind person. She loved people and they loved her back.
We now know she is in Heaven with God, her father, and she is looking down on us with a big smile on her face. Dont worry she is with you always. I know its hard now but as time goes by and you read the bible, you will find answers. God Bless You and your family.

My Dear Friend

Oh, Morgan and Judy & Family,
My heart just aches for you all. Melissa was one of the best people I have ever met. I just loved her zest for life and her love for traveling and meeting new people. I met Melissa in Puerto Vallarta and we quickly became friends. She flew out to visit me in Idaho over that coming Christmas and I visited her other times in Colorado. We lived it up and had a great time. We got stuck in a horrible storm after going to the hot springs one winter and it took us about 12 hours to get home. She made that time so fun we were grooving to the 80s and we always enjoyed going to the hot springs. We went white water rafting and we were in the front riding the wild river and I will cherish each memory made each visit. I remember going to one of her students birthday party and visiting her school she just loved all the kids and they loved her so much. She tought them business skills by making soaps and essential oils and she used that money for excursions for the kids. I felt like I knew Melissa my whole life and I definitely have never met anyone quit like her. She was a true Christian she took me to her church and it was wonderful! She is definitely Gods child. I know she is in Heavan and doing wonderful things there as well. Melissa touched so many hearts and helped so many people she was genuine and loved people she was a one of a kind girl for sure. I had talked to her that very afternoon and we were planning on a trip coming up soon. I will miss all the many more many excursions we were to have. I miss you Melissa and I cant wait to see you again. I will celebrate her birthday coming up doing something she would of loved and celebrate her as she would of wanted. God Bless her whole family and friends and let us continue celebrating her in memories made together.

Melissa

Melissa was the most kind-hearted person I have ever met in my entire life. She always put others first, and was so caring and selfless. From a young age I looked up to Melissa and admired everything about her, from her love for animals to her love for helping others. I love you and I will miss your beautiful soul -Your little cousin
