Melanie, I never had a friend like you. You were more like family to me!
One thing I keep remembering is how much you loved watching wrestling, not just Caleb and Noah, but ALL the wrestlers.. And if ANYONE was blocking your view, you were very QUICK on making them move out of your way! You made me laugh everytime you made someone move, it was great.. You definitely had guts girl! I will miss you FOREVER, until we meet again.. Save me a spot in Heaven girl, we will have lots of catching up to do!
