On behalf of the Department of Dance at York University, deepest condolences to Melissa's family and all who knew and loved her so deeply.

Liz and Family
There are no words to say how sorry we were to here of Melissa's death. I remember from Isabelle's first day of dance at The Huronia Dance Centre. Our thoughts are with you and you Family.

I am so very sorry to hear about Melissa's passing. I knew her through the Huronia Dance Centre, where we enjoyed many rehearsal hours together. I send a big hug to Leslie and family. Please take care.

Liz, Rick & Family,
My daughter & I were shocked & deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Melissa. The many years spent in dance class, at competitions and dance camps, watching Melissa become the beautiful person she was, are memories we will always cherish. Melissa had an honest and pure passion for dance that inspired all who knew her. We will miss her.

Liz and Family,
Mere words cannot ease your pain and suffering at the loss of your beautiful Melissa. But perhaps added to the knowledge that others share your sadness, these words will help to comfort you. Every time you spoke of Melissa, it was with great love, excitement and pride. I could always tell what a joy she was to you, so like the butterfly, may you cherish and celebrate the time you had with her.

I taught Melissa jazz in Peterborough, what seems like forever ago.  She always had a smile on her face in class.  She worked so hard and never gave up.  It was so nice to see a student with so much passion for dance.  She will truly be missed.

Words don't come easy at a time like this.  I hope you'll let your family and friends comfort you and help you through the pain.  We are here for you...!

We are very sorry to hear about your loss of Melissa.  Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.  Eric, Gail, Heather & Brett Martin.

To the family of Melissa:

Please accept my heart-felt condolences- I taught Melissa several years ago at York, in some of her dance classes... I still remember one of her last projects; her creativity was coming through and blossoming.
And when I saw her in passing, a year or two later, she had matured, she seemed sure of herself in a new way, and looked wonderful!  May her spirit dance on, and may peace come to all of those who love  her.

Leslie, Rick, Steven and Gordon
My deepest condolences at the passing of Melissa.  My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Sending lots of love from Alberta to Melissa's family and friends. I have never met Melissa, but she was a great friend to my sister Vanessa. I love my sister dearly and miss her lots with her being so far away, and to hear that she had found such a great friend and supporter in Melissa it breaks my heart that she lost such a great person in her life. I hope the family will get through this difficult time by remembering the good times, and by the beautiful person Melissa was by the great friendships she made in her short adventure in life. She touched my sister's heart and in that she also touched mine.
May you rest in peace Melissa.
My deepest condolences to Melissa's family and her family of friends.

Melissa was one of my closest friends..she taught me many little things in life that have helped me to become stronger, wiser and more confident in myself. We shared many happy moments together--ones that I will always hold close to my heart. Her bubbly personality has influenced many people in her life. Rest in peace dear Melissa--your love of life, dance and the people around you will forever live on..
My deepest condolences to Melissa's family and friends.

Melissa was such a wonderful friend to me. We were inseparable from the time we met in 1st year at the National Ballet School; not only were we always partners for projects, but we constantly spent time together outside of school as well. Melissa was one of those people who always put a smile on your face. She taught me so much and I have many fond memories of our numerous adventures around Toronto. I will always remember how Melissa made such a big deal of my 19th birthday, planning a get-together and making sure I had a good time. I will also remember the time when I was alone in the city during the winter holidays and Melissa invited me along to her family Christmas party. I will also remember the little things, like her giggle and her sense of humour. My heart goes out to you, her family, in this difficult time. You helped to shape the life of a truly beautiful person that is loved and will be missed.

I danced with Melissa every day for four years during our time at York. I am very saddened to hear of her passing and I send all of my thoughts and prayers to Melissa's family.

Rick, Liz, Steven & Gordon - Joan & Gord,
Our sincere regards to all of you through the struggle to understand and cope with the profound loss of dear Melissa. The pain in your heart is shared. We send our love and support, and hold onto many pictures and memories of fun times with Melissa at family reunions. From the pitter patter of her little feet to the blossom into a beautiful woman - over her short life Melissa has left a footprint in our hearts and will always be remembered. It is not the natural order of life and death, but Melissa is dancing in the stars forever.
Our love and thoughts are with you,
Ernie & June Martin, families of Donna, Debbie & Dianne

Melissa was a sweet sweet girl!  May she be at peace in the arms of Jesus now.
My prayers are with your family.

To all of Melissa's family, I send my condolences to you all. May your journey to finding peace be a swift one, and may you take comfort in the fact that you all had a part in raising and shaping a beautiful spirit who was too great for this world.

Melissa was my best friend, my partner in crime and my biggest supporter. Having Liz and Melissa as my next door buddies gave me the mother and sister I don't have in Toronto. I will cherish the time I've had with Melissa, the laughter we shared, the jokes we made and even the tears we cried together. She was my little bumble bee and I will carry her in my heart forever.

During the year that we worked together, Melissa was always a delight, a positive influence on our department and a great person to talk with. My sincere condolences with this loss.

Liz and family, please accept my sincere and heartfelt condolences. 
You are in my thoughts.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you Liz at such a terrible and sad time in your life.  A big hug to you.


 I would like to extend, My families deepest condolences during this difficult time.

Liz, may your journey from this pain be at God's speed, take solice in your friends and family and know you are not alone. My prayers are with you and your family. Rmember the good times.

To have, to love, and then to part is the greatest sorrow of one's heart.
There is sacredness in tears; they are the messengers of overwhelming grief and unspeakable love.
May it make your sorrow easier to bear knowing there are others who understand and care.

to Melissa's family - my sincere condolences to you. I feel blessed to have known Melissa. We had numerous conversations as she searched for a path to share what she had to give. She had a profound love for dance - it was an integral part of her life. The students and colleagues she was able to share that love with will carry her memory with them as will I.

Liz, Rick, Stephen & Gordon
My thoughts and prayers are with you.  May your wonderful memories comfort you during your difficult time.  See you soon.  Love Val
