I was Melissa's roommate in Vancouver and Toronto. I taught her how to drive on our move back to Toronto with a stop at her parents home near Windsor. My first guitar was bought from her dad's music store.
We shared so many funny and memorable moments. I lost touch sometime in 2011. 
I'm so sorry I missed saying goodbye.
She was authentic and kind.
If you'd like to reach out, I'm on Facebook under my name. I live i in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia now.

Melissa and I met in Vancouver and were roommates there and then back in Toronto in the late 70's. I loved listening to her sing; she had an amazing range.
I envied her ability to consume a large chocolate milkshake followed by fries with gravy and cheese and never gain a pound.
I taught her how to drive on our cross country trip back to Toronto, through the American midwest. 
Missed you all these years

Rest in Peace, Melissa. I pray your new journey on the other side of this Life is 10X more awesome, beauteous & wonderous! Knowing you, you'll make it so if it isn't & that's what I'll always remember about you. 
To everyone else who was a part of Melissa's heart, my Sincere Condolences.  We'll all miss Melissa's soft voice, great laugh & Big Heart.

To those who loved Melissa it is a time of sorrow and an emptiness in their hearts.  I am truly sorry for your loss.  For Melissa it is a time when her pain ends and a new joy being welcomed by the Lord into his kingdom of heaven.  Now Melissa can dance and sing in open meadows with her animal friends and all the while knowing just how much she was loved by so many of her friends and family especially her sister Michele. We will never forget Melissa and our prayers for her will be constant and our memories shall never fade.

I am sad to learn of Melissa's passing. It would have been good to renew relations with her. Sadly, that opportunity passed, unmet... I send my deepest condolences to those loved ones missing Melissa the most...May her soul rest in peace.

i love you melissa  I miss you .       Your my best friend  Always in my heart

It is a moment such as this that one realizes how fragile our existence is, and how we can be called home to the Father at any time, often when we least expect it. Melissa will be truly missed and our thoughts and prayers are for her, her family, and her friends. Always in our hearts, Shirley and Harold.

Melissa, I am so glad you came back into my life this past year.  We have shared many lasting memories that I will cherish forever.  Your kindness and giving nature will be remembered by your friends and family.  You have made the world a better place just for being in it.  You have loved and have been loved.  I believe you are resting comfortably now.  Your friends and family will remember you as a loving and generous person.  The beautiful memories will help us get through this time of grief.
Love you forever, your sister Michele
