So very sad to hear this. She was a kind, sweet spirit. She always had treats for the neighborhood dogs and knew them all by name. Any time she passed the back yard in the alley, she stopped, talked to our guys and always had a treat and a pat on the head. Beautiful spirit.
Melissa was such a dear friend with such a good heart!!! Will miss her every day. Thanks for the concerts, ball games and laughs. She fought the fight for years and now she is healed. Even tho my name “Di” ended up in Dawn’s name I am your friend forever. Love you my friend. ❤️
Melissa was always so kind and always willing to help anyone. She was a sweet soul and will be deeply missed by her loved ones.

Mel was the kindest, caring most diligent student I had at SIU. She will be greatly missed and fought one of the greatest fights against Cancer there has been. Now you are in peace!
