I know your dancing and smiling down on us all as you sail into the mystic. Till we meet again old friend you will be missed and always on our minds and in our hearts.

I am so sorry to hear of Melissa "Gypsy"'s transfiguration. In my mind, there is no doubt that her feisty electric blue Aquarian spirit went straight into the joyous dance filled ether that she boldly brought down to earth every time she spoke or wrapped you in a warm embrace.  Gypsy was a lover, a fighter and sometimes a complicated blend of both. Gypsy was a fiercely loyal friend and a devoted mother.  My heartfelt condolences go out to Sakara and Dashur her beloved children who she would have moved heaven and earth to protect. God Bless and God speed. I will never forget you my friend.

Melissa moved to Massapequa and joined Unqua School and my 4th grade class, with an announcement, “Yo, don’t mess with me, I got Italian muscle!”  I immediately thought, “I gotta help this girl out; she’ll never make friends if she beats everybody up!”  From there, we became friends.  Melissa’s family was like a second family to me and vice versa.  I have memories of walking through Marjorie Post Park to each other’s houses to do spelling homework together,  playing basketball, going to block parties at Momma Rosie’s on Avenue S, or T?, and wandering the boardwalk in Lavalette and Point Pleasant.  I think I helped tame Melissa’s wild side and maybe she brought out my wild side.  I’m happy for lots of great memories during the innocent years of early adolescence and as the years passed, I know like so many others, I thought of Melissa often and fondly and I’m sad that she is no longer with us, and hope that she rests in peace.  Melissa’s family was awesome and I am heartbroken for them.  Linda was a second mother to me and  will be in my thoughts and prayers along with Tara, Andrew, Gerard and the rest of the family.  God bless you all.  

Prayers and deepest sympathy. Wishing we could be with you during this trying time!
