It will be the little things
that you will remember,
the quiet moments,
the smiles, the laughter.
And although it may seem
hard right now,
it will be the memories
of these little things
that help to push
away the pain
and bring the smiles
back again.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time
My sincere sympathy,

Although we did not know Melissa personally, I have worked with her mother in law, Kathy Landry, for the last 4 plus years. In a way, through Kathy I feel I have been there for every step of Melissa's courageous fight for her life. I sincerely hope in addition to the very personal prayers from my husband Rick & myself all the way to my mother's Sunday School class in another city, the Walle family will be comforted during the most difficult time of their lives. Our deepest condolences to the entire Wells-Walle family. Lean on God for He will be your strength when nobody else can.

All I can say is that you truly left your mark on this world....Those beautiful boys are it. You touched the lives of every person that you met. I know that you touched mine. It was such a blessing to talk to you after so much time had passed and we picked up like we had never lost touch. I have such wonderful memories of "growing up" and I will smile every time I think of you. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. You were and will always be one of a kind! Love, Stacey, Lester & Jordan

Melissa will be deeply missed. I am in awe of her courage. Of all the scary things that go along with cancer treatment, she was most afraid of not being here for her boys. Her love will live on in each of you. Ryan, Kaleb, Derek, and Corey-she was proud of how great you all did through this. My thoughts and prayers are with you!

We all go to bed thankful for the day and hoping that we will awaken to the next morning. There was a time when this wouldn't have even crossed my mind, I've always lived as though life goes on forever but, these last few years my eyes have taken life and the realities that come with it very seriously. I've learned that nothing is promised, make every moment count. You have left your own mark here on earth and your spirit will live on through those you've touched along the way. You left us way too soon babygirl but we will meet again and dance another dance. Sadly missed but never forgotten, Love Always, Julie, Rhea Michelle & Abbie
