Jerry and Sheri, Gary and I send our prayers to all of your family, our hearts weep for your lost. I know that Melissa is in a better place and she is no longer is pain. God just needed her sooner than what you wanted to give her up. All of your family will be in our thoughts. Gary & Judy Teuerle
Paw, please tell Sheri we wanted to do something special for her in Melissa's memory. Flowers and food just didn't seem close enough to what we wanted then we came up with this: We have contacted the organ transplant organization and are hoping to have someone come and speak at TRIKE WEEK in Melissa's memory and get folks to sign up as organ donors and through their passing, be able to keep giving to many others who still have time to spend on earth. Please know we are here for ANYTHING you may need at this difficult time. Love and Light, Lady
