Add A Condolence

Melissa and I shared a fourteen year friendship and I don't doubt that it would have lasted forever. She was my sister at heart and my life just won't be the same without her. She supported me in every walk of my life and I offer my deepest condolences to her family. Until we meet again sis! Love you always.

I worked with Melissa at Province. She was always very kind and sweet, from telling me good morning everyday to sharing her snacks with everyone here. Sometimes her regulars from Walgreens would come here, and they would always light up when they saw her again. It was clearly obvious the kind of positive attitude she had and how she was able to project that on the people around her. We all miss her dearly and offer our condolences to friends and family.

My condolences to the families. Even though Melissa had left Walgreens we still kept in touch, saying how much we miss each other. She's loving and tough and I love that about her. I love how she can be protective of me as well. She's always happy with that big smile on her face and it made work so much easier when we're sharing laughters everyday. We used to share half of the spicy chicken wrap with extra olive mix (Melissa said it's a must! The best part of the wrap) from Zeus for lunch often, so much that when I order it I think of her. Actually I had message her with a picture of the wrap, telling her I miss her. She knew exactly what it was. I'm still in disbelief and sadden by the news. I missed you and now missing you more. I love you Melissa
