Found out today and i didnt believe it. Looked it up and sure enough :( i love you girl prayers to family 

Sending prayers to your family for your GREAT loss and an extra prayer and hugs for Melissa's children. Though we are not friends, I knew Melissa and Christina from school. Wish I could say time will heal the pain, it does not. I lost my sister 2 years ago ... without warning, part of me died that day too, and my mothers spends her days grief stricken, she has lost the sparkle in her eyes.   Sending my condolences, for what it's worth. Truth is, there are no words that will ease your families pain.  Sadly another free spirit taken too soon.  I truly am sorry for your loss. 💙

I remember when she first started at Meijer, I trained her and she was fun to work with. She was a lovely person to work with, and when I ever saw her come into Family Dollar It always brought me back to the memories of working with her and the fun we had. She will be truly missed.

I remember what a sweet girl you was. The  little Yates girl .birthday parties you attended  for my daughter. Danielle  always  loved  having you as a friend .rest in peace sweet lady you will be missed  by so many people.praying for all of your family.

Missy I have known your mother for years.  I met you a few times through her.  Her love for you was never ending.   She loved you unconditionally.  I pray that Cathy and the rest of your family can find a little comfort in knowing that I care, that a lot of people care and we are all praying for the family that loved you so much.

Melissa was my daughter (Rene')  very first friend!  I remember them going to Sunday School together. We worked together at Corlett Turner so our families hung out.  When Melissa was an adult she came to work at CT for a short period of time.  Very sweet person. Our hearts are broken to hear of this tragedy. Our hearts and prayers go out to all of her family and friends.  

Sweet Melissa, i have not seen you in years but I remember well you being in Sunday School class. So happy we got to meet again on Facebook after you moved. Know you can never answer any posts in this life but I pray you knew you were loved and were special!

Missy and I are the oldest of a dozen first cousins. Oh my gosh so many memories...  Playing at the old Ponderosa as little girls, twirling batons and marching in the Tulip Time parade, tying one on for her 40th birthday. Technically she tied it on and I drove it home. I was sober and it was hilarious! That's the last memory I have of Missy. I love you girl! Rest in peace beautiful. You are young wild and free for eternity. Except we would rather have you here.

Rest in peace MeMe you will always be in our hearts we love you❤

Rest In Peace, Missy. You were taken from the world too soon. :-( you are loved and missed. 

I knew you since I was 13 and we have grown closer over the years, I will miss our deep conversations and my dog bella always trying to bite your ankles when you came over lol you were one of the sweetest souls I've ever known and I will miss you forever!!   Always in my heart❤ until we meet again, rest in paradise sweetheart ❤

Although I didn`t know you, by your mothers pictures, I felt your soul, very beautiful soul... Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
