Jay, James, and Ben,
Melissa was a wonderful, caring person, a loving wife and mother. I always enjoyed the time I spent with her and will miss her too.
As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Dear J,
I'm so sorry to hear of your sudden loss. She was too young to go so soon. You and the boys are in my thoughts and prayers. I remember meeting Melissa at one of the Christmas gatherings we had for Symbios.
