Mellisa is my best friend of 20 years!! My Wife for 11. While attempting to help others in need , she was ripped from this world and from our lives. I can only say... she died as she lived... with the biggest heart of anyone I have ever met. She healed my heart... that I thought had faded. She was a loving mom to my son... She was an incredible example of womanhood for her/our daughter. She was a tenacious champion for the LGBTQ community. And she never met an animal she didn't want to bring home and save from the big bad world. Ok well no snakes. I love you and I cant wait to hold you in my arms again... fly bumblebee fly.
