    We were so very sorry to hear about Melissa, she was such a sweet woman, we wish would have known her more, but we had just moved in a few months ago across the street. Her smiling face and warm hello’s will be missed. We send our heart, thoughts and prayers to her family, Tiffany & Monty McKenna
