Mark, Butch and I were not able to attend Melissa's Celebration of Life but we want you to know that we have and will continue to lift you and your family up in prayer. Melissa was a wonderful sweet spirited Godly woman and she will be missed.

Mark, my heart goes out to you and your family! I have continued to keep all of you in my prayers. I'm recalling the words of Psalm 34:18: "The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those crushed in spirit." May you feel God's arms around you as you move through this bittersweet time of celebrating Melissa's beautiful life, knowing that she is in the arms of Jesus, and this time as you move through the journey of grief. My prayers continue to be with you.

I plan to be there Mark. Love to all the family.

Your Michigan spiritual family will be remembering you.

I'll be with y'all in heart. I am still homebound, however, as I continue to recover from hip surgery. Randy and I love y'all!
