I remember taking a special tour of Staten Island with Melissa. We saw Snug Harbor, the zoo, Historic Richmndtown, the Tibetan Museum and the Alice Austin House for the famous photographer.

To close friends and relatives of our dear Melissa Klein Baer:
       May we all take some time out to remember sweet, happy and pretty Melissa growing up in Jersey City, Summit, and Delray Beach as a kind-hearted, friendly and always accepting person among her peers and family.  May Rick, Devon and Pete always have fond recollections of her as they continue to treasure her memory. May this memory of her be a blessing now and forever.
Joni and Dave Schlesinger

Dear Rick, Devin and Peter,

As a dear friend of Peter and Susan, I will always remember what a gracious and sweet wife, mother and sister Melissa was. I am very sad for your loss and I always enjoyed seeing her and your family at Peter and Susan's events.  May my thoughts and prayers be with you always.  *I know she has a wonderful Angel awaiting her arrival in the beautiful new home with Susan*.

My God Bless you,

Trish E. Yuscanitch (friend of Peter and Susan's)

Rick & Devin....we've been so sorry to hear about Melissa's illness and her passing! Her home was always so welcoming to Paul whether in Summit or even on all those vacations!! And that included band practice!!! She was always a smiling, gracious, understanding person......you and the world have lost a true gem!

Kevin, Devin, and Evan.  All in the same nursery school class.  I remember feeling sorry for the teacher with such rhyming names.  It was hard enough to keep Kevin and Devin straight when they played.
Melissa and I met through the kid's friendship, and her outgoing personality  cemented our friendship.   I will miss her.
My heartfelt condolences to Rick and Devin.  
Carol  Keating 

This is the wonderful, fun Melissa that I will always remember.

Rick,Devin &Family

Words are insufficient to express our condolences on the loss of your wife and mom. 
Melissa was a dear friend since high school. Our memories of fun times, sharing life’s experiences together will never be forgotten. Spending time with her was always sprinkled with laughter, joy & eating. Her loss creates a large void in our lives. 
Sharing in your sorrow with love and friendship.
