There isn't a day that goes by that i'm not thinking of you. I will always question why this had to happen.I keep thinking its to make me stronger but why you? This is what life is about love someone and take them away so your left with pain the rest of your living life. The pain gets worse everyday.The kids you left behind to ask me questions about you and why I didn't stop it from happening.Juan remembers you eating cheese-its with him but Jennie is left only with pictures.I cant get this out of my head when we went to Costco and you asked me if you could carry Jennie so everyone would think she was your baby in the store. I told you she will always be your baby to and you wanted to be her God Mother.That was the last time you would see her again. I'm so sorry life for us could end like this. You have left me with so many why's?You knew your life was short you always told me that.I just wish I would have listened to you we had so much more to do.I love you so much and I will went until its my turn to see you again. I will never have to let you go again.Keep your eyes on Juan and Jennie when I cant see. Love you always your Best Friend Kelly Gonzalez

Mels family,

Hope you are doing well. I know it doesn't get any easier. I was stationed with Mel at the Pentagon and still have terrible night mares about that day. I hope and pray that you have found some comfort in your life. Best wishes..

Chris...


Mom

My darling, you are on the other side of the rainbow now, with Jennie, and all those who have gone on before. I hope you are all having a wonderful time there. We will see you again and Jim and I wait for that day. Thanks to all those who have left messages of hope here and God bless you all. Yes, Darrah, I remember you too.


Friend

Melis, I can still see those days getting Yum Yum donuts in the back of the El Camino.....not a day goes by where you both don't cross my mind....how is it where you are? I'm sure Jennie was glad to see you. Thanks for visting and I hope you like the license plate. I look forward to seeing you happy as ever in my dreams....
BTW, I have always loved you both the same.
We miss you terribly, Moi.

ONCE AGAIN I PAY TRIBUTE TO YOU AND TO LET YOU NOW I AM THINKING OF THIS DAY WITH GREAT SADDNESS.

Mel,

It has been two years now and I just cannot stop thinking about you. I enjoyed our morning talks. The last time I saw you was that morning. I was coming back from getting coffee and I saw you through the "A" ring windows. I told myself that I would talk with you later in the day. I had to get back to my office because my boss had a meeting. Mel sweetie, you are always on my mind.

Love, Jon


Jody Hadden

Mel, I wish I had been better friend. I can't help thinking I should have been there with you. You were the only thing I missed about working at the Pentagon. God bless you and your family. Jody

Since Missy cannot view this prayer I am leaving this here for her family that was left behind.
I wish I would have gotten to know Missy but I have learned so much about her from her mom, step-dad and other family members.
I attend church with Missy's mom.
There are no words that are fitting enough to say how deeply sorry I am for the family's loss.
She is in a much better place than we are and we shall see her again someday. God Bless


Darrah Rey

Melissa,
I was your next door neighbor in your apartment in redlands in 5th grade. I just learned of your passing on 9/11/2002. May you rest in peace and thank you for all of the memories of you & I, natalie and raynell. I am glad to have known you.

Darrah (Landeros) Rey
