Hello everyone my name is Mekayla and sadly my mom Melissa Sue Burch passed away from a heart attack the day after Mother’s Day 05/11/2026 she would have been 49 in July and would have seen me and my brother Malik turn 26 and 25 in November with this unexpected passing we were not prepared mentally physically and financially and I hate to have to even ask because she did everything to make sure me and Malik were taken care of when we were kids she was a super hero in my eyes even when I thought she was a villain she was just trying to redirect us to make the right choices in life. My mom was my world and I wish I could go back and spend more time with her before her final days and for Malik to have seen her one last time before she had to sadly leave us for a better place even tho I wish it was still here with us. My mom was loved by many and so this has definitely been dark days for so many especially my grandma who sadly has to bury another daughter, I can still remember the times we spent with her like it was yesterday when we were growing up she always had the car running for us to go somewhere to camp, swim, go see grandpa, just anything to get out of the house. I remember us laying in bed and singing you are my sunshine and seeing who could hold the note for away at the end of the song or her taking care of an ear infection and waking up as soon as she heard one of us screaming and her trying to console us and make sure we’re okay I wish she was still here now to console us and hold us while we cry and scream asking why her, to cuddle with her one last time and scratch her back or wash her hair while she was in the bath, this all seems like a bad dream that me and Malik both can’t wake up from. I know I was going to have to go through this I just didn’t know it was goin to be now and so anything would be greatly appreciated even just to share this with friends so more people can see how amazing our mom was and how god has a great one in heaven seeing the rest of the family we’ve already lost too soon. My momma was outgoing, kind, courageous, and always the life of the party and the one invited to every cook out. She had an infectious laugh that made everyone want to smile and laugh and she had a warm light about her that would brighten the darkest room she went through so much including open heart surgery and she wore those scars like armor and with style and now we wear her memory and love in our hearts the same. I wish we could do better then just cremating her but I know she doesn’t care she just I’m sure is wishing she was still here with us. So again please anything will help again just a share so more people can learn about who my mom was and what she stood for thank you
