Thank you to everyone who joined us near and far last night and today. 
Although we have much sorrow, we also carry much gratitude. I am grateful for all the love we received from Melissa, I am grateful to Melissa for loving my brother so honestly and with her whole heart, I am grateful for my niece and nephew, I am grateful for the community she built around this little family that have helped and will help them as they navigate this new version of life. 
Melissa carried and spread limitless joy and I will always keep that in my heart and mind as I move through this life. 
Melissa was, is, and will aways be in my heart as Dan remindes us. 
I love you sister! I will take care of your family as best I can❣️
