She would be 30 today...

Today is my sister Melissa's Birthday.
She would have been 30. Melissa passed
away at 17 from complications with
Leukemia. She was a beautiful girl and
had the spunky personality to go with it!
Melissa loved babies! I wish she could
be here to hold all her nieces and nephews
but she is in a better place.
She also had lot's of friends who loved her!
This was a picture that no one wanted to do...
Marcy was pregnant with her 2nd. I was just getting
off work, and Melissa was sick with what later
took her life. But...we did it and all got
together to have this done for a Christmas of 95'
picture together and Melissa passed in Jan. of 96'
We are so glad that we got it taken. Even though
it is not the best picture its the last one of
all the girls together.

I was hoping to find a pic of Melissa when she

was a little girl. She was sooo cute! But this is

what I could find. This is all of us kids before

Marcy graduated and left home.

What a sweet post. You can never have enough pictures of someone that is precious to you. Its hard to believe it has been that long.

That was such a nice post. It made me cry. I think it is a good reminder of how unsure life is day to day. Alos, it makes me so thankful that we have the gospel, so we can all be together again. I can't wait to meet her-especially if she is as fun as you and Marci

That's so sweet and we all love her so much. She was such an old soul.. way to good for here. She seemed so confident to me, and even though I wasn't that close to her, she was the sweetest out of all of her friends. So good to see pictures of her.
