Melissa Diane Riley Barton Funeral

Hi, this is Jen (Riley) Hughes. On Monday, I received the devastating news that my little sister had passed away. She was a bright light whose absence in our lives is already palpable. While we grieve her loss, we recognize how blessed we are to have had these past 52 years with her. Melissa leaves behind her son, Ethan, and husband, Vince, who she loved and adored, in addition to our family. Many have reached out with offers of help and questions about how to participate in memorializing Melissa, or as some knew her, Amia. With her husband's permission, we have created this fundraiser to offset the funeral costs. The $5000 is just a place-filler since gofundme requires a fundraising amount. Please know that this is just an invitation to contribute. Your love, kind words, prayers, thoughts, and shared memories of our dear sister are treasured equally. God bless you all and thank you for loving our beloved sister so well, and so beautifully.
