We were so sadden to hear about the passing of Melissa. Our deepest sympathy goes out to the family. Ron, Mireo, Tommy, and Hardari no words can express the lost of a wife and a mother but may you find comfort in knowing that Melissa is resting now and all her pain and suffering have ended. We all look forward to the fulfillment of Revelation 21:4 "God will wipe out every tear from our eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry or pain be anymore". We Love You All and May Jehovah God Continue to Bless Your Family.
