I would like to express my condolences to Nancy and Kayla. I am so sorry for your loss. I was fortunate to be apart of her life, and I will always miss her.

Chris and Kayla, we were so very sorry to hear of Melissa's passing. It was a pleasure to have gotten to know you through dance. I enjoyed my time chatting to Melissa. She was lovely. Our thoughts are with you. Sincerely, Barb, Jeff and Emily Piotrowski

Chris and Kayla, Nancy and Becky We can only echo the sentiments of so many others. Melissa was such a strong, courageous person who tackled everything that life threw at her with a smile. She was always so positive and saw the beauty in everything. She will be missed tremendously! Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts. Much love

To the Murdy Family.........Mike and Liz, Jeff and Jillian: Sometimes friendship reaches far beyond words, and today, I feel more than ever the special friendship we share. My sympathy to all of you. You are in my thoughts and in my heart. Happier times ahead. Love, Ruth

Dear Chris: I am now reflecting on your words and your emotions shared today. Long before I ever met you, words of admiration where always spoken of you by management and co-workers at the funeral home. I do remember the first day I met you - and you where exactly that person everyone spoke of. Today reaffirmed your humility and strength of character. I hope the tears you shed will make way for smiles and laughter and treasured memories of your short journey with Melissa. I know with the strength of your family and friends, you and Kayla will be OK. Take care of yourself and each other. Sincerely, Ruth Woods

Our sincere condolences. Marie, Karen, Mike

So saddened, Chris, to hear of your loss of Melissa. I know you cherished all your moments with her.
