In Loving Memory

Melissa Carolyn Heinly

October 24, 1990 - July 9, 1993

From the moment you came home from the hospital you and Michelle were never apart and I think she still wonders why you went away. We never dreamed that you wouldn't always be here with us all but now we have to live with missing you always.

You were such a joy...full of energy,curiosity,and love of life that sometimes it seems to be a cruel joke that you are gone. I sometimes blame myself for if I hadn't gotten Ryan bunkbeds you would still be here. I never thought that you or anyone would get hurt on them.
I know you are in a better place but sometimes I wonder what could possibly be better than having you here with us! We try to live each day as it comes but there are days where it seems such an effort to get up and deal with the fact that every new day is another day without you, but it is also another day closer to when we will meet again at Heavens Gates.
