Miss you everyday girl!!!! I hope you?re doing good in heaven ?

Happy 21st birthday in heaven to my beautiful granddaughter Melissa Cameron Perez ? Not a day goes by that you are not in our thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace, our eternal angel ??

Thinking of you today Missy. It's been 6 years since you left to heaven, Lolly a year later. We love and miss you everyday. The last post on your birthday I added hearts at the end and they show as question marks. So no hearts this time, always in our hearts and prayers. Love you forever Missy.

Happy 20th birthday in heaven Missy. You are always in our hearts and in our prayers. Missing you, grandpaDavid, greatgrandmotherLolly and auntie Debbie more than words could describe. May you all be resting in Eternal Peace ????

always thinking about you, Miss...the kids and I were just talking about you the other day. I know you're still here with us, by our sides everyday. Tell Gramps we all love and miss him as well.

Hey Missy! It is your 18th Birthday! I'm sad we can't celebrate it with you! I'm so sad that you are gone! If you were here with your family/us the thought of moving to Arizona when we were in California I would have so HAPPY! You are the best COUSIN EVER! I miss seeing you (even though I didn't get to see a lot)! Well, I just wanted to say happy birthday to you, it is so weird it is already your birthday! It has been a rough 3 years (almost 4 years) without you we have lived here for 2 years but you aren't here which SUCKS! Well LOVE and MISS you so so so so MUCH!

Sophie- dear missy I miss seeing your smile everyday not one day goes bye with me thinking about you I love and miss you so much I have grown up it has been 3years every since you lefted us to go to heaven I wonder how it look up there I know when I pass I you will greet me into the gates in heaven I know you up there playing soccer with grandpa I love and miss you guys I still remember the week before you passed me and you took a bike ride to fry it was the best bike ride I ever had with you I love you so much before I go to bed I wanted to talk to you I justed wanted to say I love and kiss you missy alright now it is Nannette's turn to talk. Nannette~ Missy it's been 3 years since you left us to go home! I miss you so so so much! You were such a great person to us. When most people weren't to us. I can't believe God took you when you were 14 years old but you had such a wonderful family. But oh already know that you were a pretty nice and talented girl. You used to love to go to the park with your bike. I miss you so much and LOVE you so much! It's not fair how young we were I was only seven and barely understood what was happening to you. I miss you dearly. But God wanted you home and you are in a better place right now watching over us right now. I miss you so much and love you! You are the best in the ENTIRE WORLD! Love you and miss you!!??

Happy 17th Birthday in Heaven, Beautiful Angel Missy. You are always in my heart. I miss and love you so much. I remember the day you were born, I was able to hold you on the ride back to my house in Riverside. I looked at your beautiful face and thought "She looks just like Steven when he was born" I felt like I was cradling my own baby. Rest in Peace beautiful Missy and know that Nana Cathy always loved and missed you.

Just wanted you to know that you are always in our hearts Missy. Uncle Brandon and I think of you often. We find solace believing that you are with Grandpa, Auntie Debbie and now with Lolly. Why the good seem to pass too soon is painful to accept, our faith in God is what makes it bearable. Uncle Brandon is my guardian angel here on earth, I believe Grandpa smiles down at him for watching out for me. Nana is still the strong and blessed person you once knew. Rest In Peace our beautiful Angel.

Miss...not a day goes by where you don't cross my mind. I love and miss you so much, we all do. The memories of that last weekend we spent together, the weekend before God took you home, seem like just yesterday. The love you had for your cousins was so genuine and pure. You were put here into our lives just long enough to show us all how we should treat others, no doubt an angel. I remember our bike ride that night we got there. You had Bubba with you on your bike and he was never happier. Johanna is growing up so fast. I hope some of the love you showed her rubs off on her and she grows into being somewhat like you. Tell Grandpy I said I love and miss him too. I know you both help me thru everyday of my life. I'm truly grateful. Thank you

Thank you to all who continue to post on Melissa's website. It means so much to our family. Steven Perez

Hey Melissa, I know that we didn't know each other very well, but I wanted to wish you a very happy birthday! I hope you're having a magnificent time in paradise.

Hey Melissa, so a young girl at my school passed away this last weekend. I went to her light ceremony, and my heart broke. I went over to her family and asked if I could pray with them since I felt like they needed the strength. Her name is Julie. Melissa please help Julie watch over her family who is hurting. I didn't know Julie very well but she was in a few of my classes. I feel like her family is not holding out so well, your family was so strong. They honestly helped me through everything. I pray that her family finds some comfort somewhere. Melissa please help Julie.

Melissa, i miss u sooo much!! Iknow ur in a better place right now but i wish u were down here with us everytime i go into the room i just think of u laughing and when we would take pictures my heart breakes everytime i walk into the room! :'( i just wish u were here with us i miss ur beautiful face and ur bright smile u always lit up my.day no matter how bad it was going i miss u and love u xoxoxo<3

Melissa, it is beautiful to see that your friends and family still post on your website. We all love and miss you so much. Not a day goes by that we don't think of you. You accomplished so much while you were here with us. You touched so many lives and brought smiles to many faces. I remember how happy you would be when we would feed the homeless. I know how much you enjoyed baking cookies and cakes for Mr. and Mrs. Webb. You always wanted to do for others. It was never about you first. You taught me a lot about myself. I looked up to you for being so mature. I am sorry for not being the Dad I should have been. I love you guys so much and there is nothing I wouldn't do for you guys. I know God took you because he needed a perfect angel. I have peace knowing that. I believe you went before us to prepare our home in heaven. I dream about arriving in heaven and seeing you. You greeting us at heavens gate, hugging and kissing us and telling us how happy you are to see us. My beautiful daughter, I love you and look forward to seeing you again. Dad

Hey Melissa... I'm writing to you and again. I just wanted to ask that you invited Lindsey's mom with open arms. We lost her on Tuesday. The 18th... She passed on the same day you did... I miss you very much. I have lost 4 people very close to me now... I hope you four have crossed paths at least a few times. I think I've cried enough over this sort of thing enough to provide enough water for Arizona. But just know that I'm always thinking of you. Love you, Shana,

Melissa, today is G's 8th grade promotion. We will all be together and wishing you were with us. We think of you everyday and miss you so much. I read the post your friends write and they all really loved you so much and you made an impression on them like you did everyone. I am glad you made so many people happy and you will always be embedded in our hearts. We love you and miss you so much Melissa. Love Mom

hey Melissa, i was thinking about this the other day and realized how much goood you did. you always had such a good spirt, and always kept a smile on everyones face. you brought our family togeather,and have kept us all pretty close. i talk to your mom and sister alot, and alot more than i used to. i know everyone misses you. i know i do. well thanks for watching over all of us. can i ask you a favor, can you help my dad get through this pain he is in, please. by Melissa <3

Hey Melissa! I hope you're having fun up in heaven. I was just thinking about you and how you always made me smile. There wasn't one time you were mean to me or anyone. I wish you were here and I think about you everyday you're such and angel love you xoxo

Hey Missy. I don't know why, but today in class I just broke down and started crying. Everything I see reminds me of you. I keep thinking that every time I go to visit your family, you're just going to come out and give me a hug. I miss you so much! I miss your smile and your laugh. The other day it felt like someone touched my shoulder when I was listening to music, and I know it was you telling me that it was OK to cry still. Miss and love you so much.

Dear Melissa, How are you? How's paradise? You having fun? I miss you. Did you see my page I made dedicated for you? It's called Mp Foundation, but now I handed it over to your sister. I hope you like it. I can't believe it's been a year since you've disappeared from the planet, but you still haven't disappeared in my heart. There is so much things I wish I could've told you. Everyone misses you. Don't mind us. We're fine; don't worry about us. I hope that there in paradise, you can watch over us. Remember in 4th grade when we used to fight? We held grudges against each other, but after a few years, we forgot the past and became friends? I remember so much about you, and every cell with a memory of you in my body has still not died. I still haven't forgotten. I never got to tell you I'm sorry. But I know you know that I thought that. Sometimes, I just don't know what to say anymore. I honestly wish you never died. You didn't deserve to die. But I have learned to let go of the past and accept it. That doesn't mean I've forgotten you. And hopefully, you haven't forgotten us. Please rest peacefully, and may one day, I'll walk next to you in paradise.

Melissa, well I'll just start off by saying,l I can't believe it's been a year, it seems like just a few months ago this happened. I still remember that very hard first two weeks when you passed. School was hard, going to your funeral I was a wreck, and at your balloon memorial I was a wreck... But I was and still am always thinking about the love and kindness you spread to everyone you talk and look at. Everyday when I would see you, you would just make me smile. I know it sounds cliche to say that, but you really were the exact person to turn someone's day around. I miss you so much. But I try my best to keep a good spirit like yours in the worst situations. This past week, a major event happened that really put me down in the dumps. And last night I was crying, and I knew you were watching over me and comforting me. Thank you for your influence and inspiration you have had on my life. Your parents did such a good job raising some one to be such an angel! I love you and please don't let our sad emotions today keep you down, stay strong. What makes us feel better is knowing you are there to comfort us and give us a smile. :) I love you and miss you so much.

hey there! i wish i posted more, but it a lot to put the right words together and express what i am feeling. to start, i miss you. i cant believe you've been gone for a year now, its honestly mind boggling. i don't talk to many people and let them know what i'm thinking, how i feel, 'what i'm afraid of or what i want. i was able to have that with you and i miss our friendship so much. you were so kind and so dear to my heart. i loved the fact that you understood me in every possible, like a true friend and you supported me. you had such abright future ahead of you, but God needed an angel and his best choice was you. last sunday at church, my pastor was talking about how people come into our lives to either dragus to hell or help us see the strength in God and love. the first person that came to my mind was you. you were my angel on earth, you taught me that i shouldnt be mean to people because there wasnt any meaning in it. when you left, you had inspired me to carry on your kind heart and spread light into every situation. the days get long, and the days get hard and sometimes i shed a tear or two knowing that i cant pick up the phone and just tlak to you, see how your doing, how life is going. last year on this day, i never wouldve imagined that you would be gone. i was in sucha state of shock when i found out. i remember what i was wearing, where i was standing, what the scent was in the room. that day replays over and over in my head.. and i realize that you were truly something special. so many of us still talk about you and have you heavy in our hearts, but you know that im sure. i know i dont get on here much, but i am always thinking of you and i love you. take care of your family, theyre good people and deserve nothing but the best in life. your parents raised a wonderful young lady, i wish you wouldve been able to meet and inspire so many other people. its one year today and its been a journey of many tears and laughs when you come up, which is often. on a parting note, stay smiling and stay strong. love you beautiful! <3

melisa i wish i could see you again. it would be nice to be able to hang out with everyone again. i cant help but remeber how you brought our entire family togeather even if it was for a sad occasion. i still dont understand why all of this happend, nobody does but i wish we did know. i worry about your family alot. but then i rember they have you and they helped me through all of this. they were the strong ones. i have so much respect for your brother and sisters and mom and dad. i love you melissa, please watch over all of us! love you!

Missy..I miss you so much. Sometimes I just cant get over how much everything has changed and will never be the same. We all miss you so much. Sometimes I dont know what to do, I wish I could come home and you were here waiting for us. I really dont know how to cope, everyday I think about you everytime I see something you would like I cry. I seen a girl at the park the oher day and from behind she resembled you and when she turned to the side I started crying she resembled you so much. I just walked home and wandered why this all happened, everyday is a struggle for me. Its coming up on 1 year since our world was turned upside down and when I think of everything that happened I wish I would have held on longer, not sure if that would have changed anything. The decisions dad and I had to make were just a blur for me. I sit and think if we would have waited a few more days would you still be here? I know you are happy where you and everyone goes to heaven sooner or later I just want you back. I want to hear your laugh again, your voice and see you walk in the door after school. Melissa we all miss you very much. Please watch over all of us and everyone who has been there for us in these trying times. Love Mom XOXO

Hey Missy, i thought i would talk to you! I miss you so much!!

I look at your pictures and i just think how pretty you are. You were one of a kind. You were so nice and sweet there aren't people like that anymore. Well i just wanted to let you know i miss you and love you so much! <3

Hey Melissa ..... I just heard a song and thought of you. I cried just a little. Remembering the weekend we had together. Wishing you were here so we could go to the park again. It isn't the same going there without you....member those little girls, yea those were good times. I'm happy i'm better now. I miss you Missy thank you for looking out for all of us. Love you!!

Hey, Miss...Me and Your Uncle John are sitting here remembering last New Years when you were down here with us in California celebrating with all of your cousins. Sophie and Daniel look up to you and still remember the fun times you all had together. I can't believe you're not here with us. We love and miss you so much, it hurts us so much everytime we think of it. You were such a sweet little girl and the best helper. I miss eating your homemade guacamole, it was so good. Happy New Year, Beautiful. We love you...

Melissa, me and aeriana were just facetiming... And literally talked about you for over an hour and a half... We love you and miss you....and we just talk about the memories we cherish of you... And we keep you close to our hearts... Please keep us close and comfort us.... Miss you and love you soooo much! Andddd happy new year Melissa! <3

Missy, it's still so hard for me to accept the fact that you are gone. The holidays are not the same anymore, especially with you and Grampy no longer here with us. Or maybe I shouldn't say that because I know you both are here watching over us all. Yesterday all of your cousins and I were sad because it was your birthday and we couldnt call you like we normally would have. The same goes for Grampy who would've turned 64 on the 20th. I always talk about you to the kids, you are always on my mind, Baby. We have a candle lit for you next to this beautiful picture we have of you. Your Baby Cousin JoJo is growing up so fast and I know you see how smart she is. The last visit we had out there with you guys you practically had her in your arms the entire weekend. I still cant get the memories of that weekend out of my head, the long bike ride we all took together, Me treating us all to shakes and sodas at Sonic, it was such a perfect weekend. It still hurts me so much to think about losing you but God needed you home and Grampy wanted some company as well. I notice little things that happen in my day to day life and I can't help but laugh knowing that its both you and My Dad taking care of me and sending good things my way. I want to thank you both for that. Well, you both know I dont need to write down a Thank You because you hear

We all miss you, Missy Mama...even on earth you were our little angel. Happy 15th Birthday, Melissa...Uncle John loves you and misses his California Girl.

Happy Birthday Missy!!! Im sure you are having a great party in Heaven! I am thinking of you today!! Love you!!

Missy, I feel heartbroken today and my eyes are filled with tears as I compose this comment. I have been thinking about your birthday for weeks. Happy Birthday in heaven sweet, beautiful Melissa. I know you must have celebrated Grandpa David's birthday with him on Dec 20th(another sad day for me). I remember the day you were born, I was there when you took your first breath. It was always special to us that you were born in California and that you came home to our house with your mom before you all headed to Arizona. Your great-grandma Lolly is not doing well, she has lost her sight and is on Hospice here at our house. I know you and Grandpa David will be waiting for her with the same love and open arms you always showed her. She has never forgotten you Missy, neither has Auntie Pat and Uncle Brandon. I had to stop by and tell you how much you are loved and missed by us here. I will always wish I could have seen you since Grandpa David passed away, but you were always in my heart. Loving and missing you forever, Nana Cathy

I've never met Melissa, but I saw your tshirts at the Arizona Donor Network function this past weekend. I 'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my brother unexpectedly on August 27, 2010. Every day is tough, but it does help knowing that he was able to help others through organ donation and through the wonderful function the donor network puts on, it helps a little being in the presence of others who have lost loved ones. My heartfelt sympathies are with your family.

Hey Melissa :) I miss you so much! High school definitely isn't the same without you... But I know you are watching over us... I love you so much <3

It's hard because we would always talk about what highschool life would be like. Its not what we thought it was. I always think about the coversation we had in the park about next year and how people would change. Oh boy they did. Sometimes i like up and i feel like i can see your face looking down. I talked toyour sister a few days ago, holy cow i see you in her. A lot. I missyou Melissa a lot, but until we see eachother again, keep wayching over everyone and farewell for now.

Hey Melissa! I started my first day of high school today... wish you could have been there! I missed you a lot today! I hope you were watching down on us... and your siblings as they went back to school! I love you soo muchhhh! <3

I'm thinking about you A LOT lately. I miss you so much. I wear my bengal pretty much everyday.. This is still so crazy. I can only imagine what you had to go through in your last moments... Please watch over us like I know you are... I love you so much. <3 When we meet up again, I hope we can catch back up and be great friends again in your new home. I miss you so much. Much Love Melissa! PLEASE watch over your family, like I know you are... This is so hard for them... They are amazing people like you are Melissa. LOVE YOU!

Missy..I had so many tears in my eyes when I last posted..I did not even know my writing was messed up..but you know what I was trying to say..I had a hard night last night..all I could do was think about....I MISS YOU MISSY..love MOM

Melissa, I hope are with us today as we celebrate Haley's Sweet 16..I am them with a few things and it males me sad, because we had talked so much about your sweet sixteen party that we were going to have for you..Remember all I wanted was to have it at the barn. Its hard for me because I was so excited to have your sweet sixteen. Haley is having a nice tribute to you..they made really nice cards for the table with your picture and Haley next to it with a song..Seanna did the same thing for you..I miss you so much Melissa, I wish this did not have to happen. I love and miss you so much...Love Mom

Hey Melissa! I know I haven't posted anything since the day you passed, but it's taken me a while to get over the fact that you are no longer here. I just wanted to let you know that you looked so pretty at your services, and it was so great to see everyone show up! Just wanted to let you know that there was a pic of me and you when we were 4 in the slideshow that was showed after the church service, and when I saw it, me and my mom started to cry. I'm sorry that the rest of my family couldn't come and see you one last time, but they all think of you everyday. These past couple of weeks I've been seeing things that remind me of you, and I know that it's actually you sending me messages that you're doing okay. Every time I think of you and get sad, I remember last summer and when we were both having sooo much fun at the river with everyone, and suddenly I'm happy again. I put the pin that was given out at your services on my backpack, and whenever kids or teachers ask me what it's for, I can't tell them without my eyes watering. I think I'm gonna play soccer in the Fall, and I hope that you'll be at every single game that I play cheering me on. I loved the way you always spread happiness and always had a big smile on your face. I know that it will be hard for me to go back to Arizona, because all of my memories of you are there, but I know that I'll get through it, because any memory of you is wonderful. Everyday I live my life to the fullest, and whenever I do something fun or exciting, I always keep you in my head and heart, because I know that if you were there, you would just be so happy and love every moment. I know that one day I'll see you again in Heaven, but until then, remember to watch over everyone and know that we all Love and Miss you SO MUCH!

Melissa, it's been 4 months and 2 days since you passed away. I still can't believe it... Please watch over your family, like I know you are, because they miss you SO much. And so do I. I love you so much...and I miss you SO much. I look at your picture your mom and dad gave me everyday, and I just can't believe you're gone. Sometimes, I think I have had closure and have been able to deal with it, but other times, I realize that I am still in the state between shock and closure.. I'm thinking about you everyday... I'm just at a loss for words... Love you and miss you LOTS, Shana

Missy, it has been 4 months since my entire world has changed. I miss you so much Melissa..Please help me get through this,,,Love Mom

oh melissa, you have been on my mind a lot lately. it seems to get harder as school starts again and i wont be able to start it with you... especially when we were waiting for this past school year to be done because we were tired of being at san tan. youve been gone for 4 months today, and much like around the time that you passed, i am having many sleepless nights. i finally came to the realization that i will never have closure from this because that means forgetting, and i will never forget you melisss. a few weeks ago, your parents dropped by to give me a few things and my favorite was the picture. i forgot that we had taken one in dec or jan and actually kept it on your phone! it was in a frame that said friends... i absolutely LOVE it. your parents are good people. i know your watching down on them and keeping a very close eye on kayla. i swear, she looks like you more and more! miss you lots melissa and i know your smiling your beautiful smile from above. xxx, aeriana <3

Thank you for "random act of kindness" it made my day...keep it going!!! God Bless you and your family.

Missing you a lot today!!! Love Mom---XOXO

The holiday was not the same without you Missy...We love and MISS you so much..I know you were looking down on us yesterday as we played volleyball with coach Carlos...but I know you would be proud of us..WE LOVE YOU MISSY...Love Mom and Dad..

Happy Fourth of July, Melissa!!! <3 wearing one of your bangals your mom and dad gave me <3 happy fourth of july to the Perez family too :)

Melissa, today your mom and dad came to my house to give me this HUGE bear, because they said it reminded them of you, since you were in a way, the big bear in the family. When I say HUGE, its 53 inches tall :) If you were here to see it, I could just see you smiling. They also gave me one of your bangals that you used to wear. They also gave me a copy of your spring picture with a note on the back. You were very lucky to have them as parents, they are such loving and sweet people, just like you. I am so blessed to have had you as a friend. About 2 weeks ago, Aeriana and I dropped off your yearbook. I'm glad I could pitch in! I love you so much Melissa and miss you a ton! Melissa's Parents, I can't thank you ENOUGH. let me just say, that you are probably the strongest, loving, all around kindest people I have ever met. If you ever need anything don't hesitate to contact me. You will be in my prayers <3 I hope the Lord sends you good fortune your way soon, after this devestation. Just know, that she is watching over us, and loves you both so much. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING. Much love, Shana <3

I MISS YOU SO MUCH MISSY! LOVE MOM

I miss you so much Melissa. Everyday I think about you and think of all the good times we had together and all the memories that we shared. This past week Shana&I dropped off your yearbook that everyone signed; it was a bittersweet moment. I was sad to give it up because I had it in my box of things with my 8th grade yearbook but I was happy to give it to your family so that they could have it. (: I thought a lot about you yesterday, Father's Day because I know how much you loved your dad and were so appreciative of him. I remember walking to Geno's and you telling me how he would get gift cards from work because he would do such a good job and that you were so proud of him. I know you are watching over everyone and are smiling down from Heaven. I miss you a lot and it's three months today and it is so hard. I dred the 18th of every month because I hate coming to the realization that you were gone for another month. Some days I feel like calling you just to talk, but then I remember that you're always listening. Love You Lots Meliss, I think about you everyday. Keep smiling your gorgeous smile. <3

Its Fathers Day Missy..I know you would be excited to give Dad the gifts we bought him. This would be a day where we would all get together with Dad and Tata, cook and swim. I can just see you now, helping Nana and Me get all the food ready. We all MISS you so much and LOVE YOU! I know you are looking down on us all and watching over us. Missy you were such a great daughter and sister we love you and always think of you. We love you Melissa! Love Mom, Dad, Andrew G and K...

Im still so confused i just really don't understand . I miss u just like everyone else. But there's a reason for all of this I wish we all understood ! I wish that something would heal this pain we all have. Please melissa help us by watching over us and protecting us because someday we'll learn to deal with this pain .I love u melissa

hi missy its been almost 3 months since you've been gone,i think about u all the time,well i no longer work with your nana carmen,dont get me wrong i loved working with her,but work was slow and she mentioned she was probably gonna have to let me go,so i found another job,its not the same the hours with your nana were so much better cuz it wasnt all day n now i work 9 1/2 hrs a day,i love the work i do hope fully i get used to it.i try and keep in touch with your mom,dad brothers n sister.i ask god to help them through all of your having to go home so early,but i no it will always be hard for them cuz i still think alot about the ones ive lost also missy i can imagine what a beautiful angel u r please keep watching down on every one god bless u missy love tia mary!

Melissa, its been a while and i still cant beleive it.I wish you were there at the 8th grade promotion. Everyone saw the beautiful pictures of you:) you're on my mind all the time<3 i hope your looking down on me:)

I miss you so much Melissa, I wish you were here by my side. Love Mom

Melissa, Congratulations! You graduated 8th Grade. IT was just so sad you weren't at the promotion with us. We miss you so much. Hope you'll be following with us to Higley High School. Wherever you are, we at San Tan wish you the best and hope that you are ok. We <3 u.

Melissa, not a day goes by, when im not thinking about you. I hope you are feeling better, and lemme just say, I MISS YOU SO MUCH. I'm so heartbroken that you had to leave us so early. We had our last week of school this week. Monday, was our 8th grade dance, and tuesday, we had our 8th grade promotion. I hope you were watching down on your 8th grade family last night. When we were looking through the slideshow, and when your pictures came up, I got the chills. I STILL can't believe you aren't coming back. I started shedding a few tears, but I was trying not to, because you were ALWAYS smiling. Melissa, you would have been sitting right next to me, at promotion. It was so hard to think that I could have been smiling and laughing with you. I didn't stop thinking about you, and I still haven't. When I was walking outside of the gym at promotion, I tried my best to smile at your family, because I know how hard this is for me, and I'm sure it's even harder for them. Your mom smiled and waved at me, and OH MY GOSH, it reminded me so much of you. Me, Aeriana, Danielle, and Lindsey all chipped in to buy you a yearbook. We were the first to sign it, and I did cry as I was writing my letter to you in your yearbook. I can't believe its been a little over two months, it feels like this just happened. PLEASE watch over me, and everyone else who misses you. Maybe send me a sign your here once in a while? I would appreciate it. As I go on to high school, I will NEVER EVER forget you. You were my best friend in 6th grade, and we would have been doing cheer together this year! Oh my, I can't believe you can't come back. I know everything happens for a reason, but it just doesn't seem fair. I want to give you the biggest hug I've ever given anyone, but I can't. I hope your feeling better, and know that I will always love you. I MISS YOU SO MUCH <3

Had to share our loving thoughts of you Missy. Lolly, Auntie Pat, Uncle Brandon and I think of you every day. It still grieves me that I did not get to see you for over 6 years because of people's self will. I wonder if they think of that now that you are gone? I have so many memories of when Grandpa David and I babysat you after school when we moved your parents to the house near ours. My heartache can not be put in to words, I was your Nana and your daddy's Mother no matter who didn't like it. Grandpa's and my love and devotion to all our grandchildren could not be terminated by we not being able to see any of you. I heard about your 8th grade graduation from Auntie Nannette last night, my heart ached, but we both try to console ourselves with our belief that you are with your Grandpa David, losing him has left me with half a life, but I live as he would want me to, with the belief that we will all be reunited again. I can't imagine the pain your parents must feel daily, losing a child is different from that of a spouse, to me not that much different because Gram pa and I were one person. So I close this comment with a heavy heart, I love and miss you so much Missy, maybe now you can see how much you Always meant to me. Hug my loving Husband, he knows how much I love and miss him and I feel him still taking care of me. Your Loving Nana Cathy

Missy,today we will attend your 8th grade promotion. I know you were very excited to be heading to high school and tonight will not be the same knowing you will not be able to enjoy this day with your friends and what we had planned will no longer be. I think about you everyday and miss you so much. I love you Melissa..Love Mom

We are all so sorry for your loss and know how sad this would have been. My grandpa passed away a day before Valentines so I can really relate to your situation. God bless your family and RIP Melissa Perez

Missy, we miss you everyday..Love MOM,DAD,ANDREW,G AND KAYLA..

Miss, I post here because i feel like I am talking to you..but since you went to heaven I'm always talking to you..Like Nana said I know you can hear us all now all the time (I'm not sure if thats a good thing). I remember the day you were born. It was funny because your dad was supposed to be at the hospital w/your mom and they called looking for him and I said "He's at the hospital" then your dad walked through the front door at Mapleton..I'm pretty sure he was gagging..you know how he does it when he gets nervous. We were like "What are you doing here?!" He eventually went back to the hospital and you were born! The California girl! You are so loved Miss...Kiss and hug grandpa for me I miss him so much too.

Missy, 40 years ago today, your Grandpa David drove me as fast as he could to Downey Community Hosp so I could give birth to our third baby Steven James Perez, your daddy. I don't know why I have woken up (at 4 am) thinking of you first and then of your daddy Steven James and the memory of his birth. Grandpa David and I were so young, we had Uncle David 28 months old and Auntie Nannette 10 months old waiting for us at our new house. I remember Grandpa, always steady and in control especially that day cause your Daddy was not going to give us too much time before he would be born. Your Daddy was the best baby,you looked so much like him when you were born. He was always so intelligent, loving, respectful and patient. He never gave us a moment's grief or disrespect while he was growing up. He was the best student like his older brother and sister. He played basketball for a local league, I know he was embarrassed cause I was his loudest fan, cheering and yelling out his name. After all he was "my" baby, a superstar. Strange that I am crying, missing you, missing my beloved husband and feeling emotional the minute I woke up, remembering every minute of your Daddy's birth. It was your daddy that used the excuse "the kids are afraid of you" for not allowing us to see you, G, Andrew & Kayla because he said something about you all seeing me reprimand him (which was very much warranted believe me) shortly after Grandpa died. As your Daddy must know by now (hopefully), offspring should not disrespect their parents no matter what age they or we (the parents) are. It doesn't matter now Missy, whatever the reason we didn't get to see you, we can not turn back time. Auntie Pat & Lolly are so devastated by your passing, they also miss you so much. We all find comfort that your are with our Loving Lord and Savior and of course Grandpa and his endless love for us all. I am sad Missy, I am filled with unspeakable grief and sadness. I am a Mother who always becomes emotional on the birthday's of her babies, though they are not babies now, but adult's with their own life choices and behavior. I remember the day you were born Missy while your parents were visiting us in Riverside. I was at the hospital when you were born, when you were brought back to our house, your parents and you stayed a few days before heading back to Arizona, I remember crying as they drove away because I had already become so attached to you. I knew I was going to miss you and miss my own baby Steven James Perez, as I always had since he had left home at age 18 to join the Marine Corps like his Daddy, who he looked up to all his life and always wanted to follow in his footsteps, which he did to the joy of Grandpa David and I. I will shed tears today Missy, for you and for the loss of the relationship I once had with my own baby. No matter what, Grandpa and I knew we did he best we could, we retired here to Arizona in order to help your Daddy with his then health issues and to enjoy the four of you, our grandchildren. We did have fun didn't we? I have those memories Missy, nothing can take them away from me. I just had to speak to you again, I believe I can now and that you hear me as Grandpa does. God bless you my beautiful baby girl, I bet you and Grandpa are probably visiting with Marilyn Monroe (if he has his way haha) I love you, I miss you Missy and I am taking this opportunity to wish "my own baby" Steven James Perez a Happy and Blessed "40th" Birthday. I think I will go today to visit the Memorial Cross that your Daddy built for Grandpa at the Salt River. Love You Forever, Nana Cathy Perez

Missy, I miss you everyday and still can not believe you will not be walking in the door after school. I am glad you gave Dad and I the best two days with you. I see how much people loved you and that gives me some comfort. We watched your team play..They WON!! They did a great job I just wish I could have been watching you on the field. I LOVE and MISS YOU MISSY! Love Mom...

Hey missy...miss you a lot wish my dad would've taken me to Arizona when he went over there so I can see you one last time but now your in a better place and watching over us I remember when you went to aunties for new years and you answered the door with your beautiful smile and said lets get drunk with apple cider...l always have your smile and voice in my head...you and gramps are up there having fun and playing soccer one day we will all join that game of soccer...see you in heaven missy love you

Steve ,Jessica and kids, we are so sorry for your loss... Melissa is in a much better and peaceful place... Brianna sends her love... I remember Brianna used to text Melissa... Even though they were far from each other they still texted... She will be missed by each and everyone of us... You must be strong for each other.... She is in good hands with the Angeles... may God bless and take care of all of you for us... Meme, Julie & family....

Perez Family, our condolences to you with the loss of your precious daughter. Please know that your family will remain in our thoughts and prayers each day. We are here for you always and forever.

Words cannot express our sincerest condolences to your family! We cannot fathom the emotions your family has endured. We will keep praying for you all. Take care and God Bless!

Melissa... If my memory serves me correct the last time I saw you, was several years ago... You and your family came to visit Aunty Cindy and Uncle Ernie when they lived in Riverside on Avon St... And before that, I hadn't seen you for a few more years, because when you guys came, Kayla was about 5 years old and I didn't even know that your folks had another baby... I love your Father so much... I remember when him and your mom first got together and we met Andrew... then YAY! Melissa was going to greet us as a new addition... I was very happy for your dad. Your uncles and aunt and their children all hold a special place in my heart... I have a little girl named Jaylyn Marie... she will be three in May... It breaks my heart you never got to meet her... My mom (aunty cindy) always told me of your beautiful spirit and smile... I look at your picture and cry because I could see the love of God in your eyes... When i found what happened, I locked myself in my office and cried and prayed and thought "LORD DO NOT TAKE MELISSA! Do not use this example to bring all of us family back together..." After a while I saw Jesus the Christ raise you up from your bed... I thought I was going to get a call that everything was fine, but a few hours passed and I found out that at that moment I was crying out, God the Father took you home... My selfish heart does not want you to be gone... But my spirit praises the Most High because you are in His loving arms and I know that we will see you on that Day He comes back for us. Melissa I promise you that I will make sure that I never waste any moments with the Family... I am sorry I never got to spend more time with you, or that you didn't get to meet Jaylyn and Isaiah... I hope you got to see their pictures at least... It's funny how all our kids from the Sambrano sisters resemble eachother a tiny bit... It is the love that we all have... Until we meet again dear Cousin Melissa. Tell the Father blessed is His name and we thank Him for His Son Jesus, that Gives us the Eternal Hope that we will see eachother again. Love always your Cousin James "Jimmy" Jedidiah.

Steve, Jessicica, Andrew, G, and Kayls, our deepest sympathy is with all of you. During this time of healing please know we are here for you. Melissa was such a big contributor to the Rams family. She was at most the practices,the games, the fundraisers, and always by her mothers sidemaking banners, and signs. Melissa also always seemed to be so respectful, and always had a beautiful smile for anyone that passed by her. We will all miss you, you beautiful girl. The Kilgore's.

Melissa, even though we don't know each other, I grew up with your grandmother Cathy so I'm sure you're a little angle. May God watch over you and your family.

melissa, I miss u verry much .i will never forget the time we went to nana's. We play egg toss and the egg landed all down ur leg! Then we went to the park .

I am so sorry for your loss. I too lost my 14 yr old, so I understand the pain. If you feel the need to be with other parent who share your grief, look at the Compassionate Friends, TCFPhoenix.org.

me and Miss were so close to each other we were like two-peas-in-a-pod but i still feel like this is still a bad dream, but shes in a better place now. I remember when i used to go to her house me and her would go to the park i really miss those days but we will continue that in heaven <3

Steven, Jessica & family. We want to send our deepest condolences for the loss of Melissa, we cannot even grasp at the pain you are feeling at this time. Our hearts go out to you all! I wish we would have been able to spend more time with you all & gotten to know Melissa more. At the services I saw that she was so loved by so many. We know she is in heaven with family and they will all be waiting for us.. Steven and Jessica if there is anything we can do please call us. We love you very much, Auntie Lupe & Uncle Dan

I have known Melissa for a while. We were best friends in 6th grade, and stayed great friends. I will remember her going to cheer tryouts with me, and having P.E. with her and, on my birthday this year she wished to make me a card but didn't have time and wished me the best one yet and much more! She would always greet me with a smile, and a "Hi Shana" that I can still hear her say <3 I really just can't believe she is gone. She will always be in my heart and on my mind. You were nice, gorgeous, caring, sweet, funny, and so easy for me to relate to. You really were a blessing to everyone. I wish I would have been able to say goodbye just at least one more time. I hope she wasn't in pain in her last moments here on Earth. I know she is now an angel watching over us in Heaven; whom is there to comfort us and make sure we make good choices and make an impact on others lives as she did to so many people including me. Everyday I am going to strive to be as good of a person as she was and still is. It's a shame she had to leave us so early, but I know God has his ways and it is always for a reason. I know you are watching over us Melissa and I hope you know that on Tuesday almost everyone wore pink and purple in honor of you. And on Thursday we let balloons fly up to you in Heaven with special messages, and we made little purple and pink ribbons for us to wear or put on our backpacks in memory of you and to always have you with us. Today at your funeral there was about 250+ people there. All of us care about you so much. School is gonna be very hard without you now that I have seen you not alive. I could always count on you to make sure I was okay. I miss you so much and love you so much. You did not look like yourself today and I will always remember you with one of your pink shirts you always wore and your flawless complexion... As for your family Melissa, I wish nothing but the best and hope our Lord doesn't leave any more sorrow for them... Perez family, I will be giving you something very shortly. We are all here to help you through this tough time and can only imagine what a blessing Melissa was to your family. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Perez for bringing Melissa into this world I love her SO MUCH. <3

Please accept our dearest condolences. I know that Melissa is with her Grampy in Heaven. She will be a beautiful angel that will watch over you and your family from now on. When you get to Heaven, she will be there waiting for you!! Much Love and Prayers

There is no words for some moments in life, death leaves a heartache no one can heal but love leaves a memory no one can steal & when someone we love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. Our prayers are with all the Perez family. From Noee Gonzalez, Patty, Joel and Julius.

We are so very sorry for your loss. Please let me know if there is anything we can do. Your family is in our prayers.

To Steven, Jessica, Kayla, Andrew & G, as well as the entire Perez Family, I'd like to say sorry for your loss, and my heart goes out to you all. I can't imagine what you all must be going through right now, and words can't express my condolences. I'm sorry Baby Joshy and myself couldn't be there today, but we send our love and support. Only a phone call away if you ever need anything. Rest In Peace Missy.. I regret not saying more than a few words to you in the few times I've seen you, but it wasn't hard to see what a sweet and genuine person you were. See you again someday :)

Our family has lost an ANGEL. Forgive me for not being present today. My HEART is weeping. My PRAYERS and LOVE go out to my cousin Steve and his family.

Our family has lost an ANGEL. Forgive me

Today we celebrate Melissa's life, words can not express how we feel. Melissa, you will forever be in our hearts. Have fun in paradise, we will see you when we get there. Love Dad, Mom, Andrew, G and Kayla...

hey tweedy bird this is uncle arnold i miss you

Words can not express how sorry we are for your loss. If there is anything we can do to help you through this incredibly hard time, please do not hesitate to ask

Missy, I wanted to share with you that I had another sleepless night, trying to remember every memory we had together from the moment I first saw you born. I was sobbing as I walked in to Grandpa David's home office because I had decided that I wanted to send you something from his beloved collection's that you knew so well. I was blinded by tears, I asked Grandpa, "please help me daddy, please help me find something with meaning for Missy" There were so many places to look, I scanned his vast collection of action figures on the walls, remember he had girl action figures for his granddaughters? I could not see through these tears, suddenly I was guided to one of his glass curio's where he has delicate pieces he wanted to keep safe. I opened one curio and one of his Betty Boop globes, dressed in a teal color swim suit as she is underwater sitting on a rock near a colorful treasure chest, caught my eye. I immediately took her out and proceeded to wind her up to listen the song that was on her globe. To my surprise, though I believe it is Grandpa sending us a message that it is going to be okay, you are with our loving God and Grandpa. The song is "Everyone is beautiful in their own way" I can see Grandpa listening to this beautiful song, he so loved everyone he knew, his family were his life, I was so blessed to have been his wife, his children so blessed to have him as their daddy and his grandchildren so blessed to have his love and devotion for eternity. Many days I get sad realizing that so many of the youngest grandchildren will never know him like you and the others did, But my faith in God reminds me that Grandpa was waiting for you with the same love and devotion he had when he was with us. I am sending this Betty Boop Globe to your mother as a keepsake, she loved Grandpa and knows that it has special meaning and he would want her to have it as a token of our love for you Missy. I was also going through one of Grandpa's keepsake drawers and my eye was immediately drawn to an unopened Hallmark Keepsake Ornament box titled "Super Friends". It is a tiny lunch box with the figures of Superman (that's who the kids say Grandpa was)and the other is Wonder Woman, the front of the little lunchbox shows Superman and Wonder Woman flying away together. I am sending this Grandpa keepsake to your daddy, I know, he too, will keep this as a beloved keepsake of you and Grandpa. Well my loving Missy, I have been typing away here in Grandpa's office, my tears are dry, I feel like you have heard me. I am sorry if you were ever afraid of me, there was never any reason. Ask John John, Toony or whomever, I am the same Nana Cathy who lived and loved along the side of my beloved husband, your Grandpa David. This is my final goodbye, my love, I am so proud that you looked so much like me, that is a special joy for a grandparent, at least it always for me. I will love and miss you forever, I pray you always knew how much you were loved and missed by me. Until we are together again, please watch over your Grandpa for me and continue to be the sweet Angel I always knew you to be. Rest in Eternal Peace.

We are so sorry to hear if your loss. God must have needed a sweet angel to be by his side. Our prayers are with you as you struggle to make sense if this earthly tragedy.

May God's love and peace be with you in this very difficult time. I'm sure Melissa is at peace, wrapped in God's loving arms.

Dear Perez Family, I am deeply saddened of Melissa' death. She ha been a great friend to me and I couldn't ask for a more loving, caring, smiling, and funny girl. Although I am not going to be able to go to the funeral, please accept my sincere condolences. Wherever Melissa is, I am praying that she is in a safe place and that I will always remember her in my heart. :'(

Please accept our most heartfelt condolences for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time. Peace, prayers and love to you all.

She was a BEAUTIFUL loving girl and it sucks she has left us so soon. I am sorry for your loss and I love you all <3 My first and all Touchdowns i get this Football season is for her!!! (: R.I.P Melissa we all love and miss you!! <3

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you who are mourning the loss of Melissa. I can relate to the loss of a niece. My family lost an angel too soon too, my niece passed away almost 11 years ago, she had just turned 3. I can tell you that healing seems impossible in the moment, but healing is possible, it does happen in time. I will continue to pray God's presence with you through this.

Melissa was a sweet girl, always helping you guys with everything. The one thing I remember is her always helping with the rams football games, especially with the championship games. I remember Haley's last party and she was there. She's gone, but always in our hearts. Rip Melissa.

Dear Perez family, We are all so sorry about Melissa, Molly and Melissa were such good friends. Your daughter was an amazing, smart, funny, and beautiful young girl. We're so sorry about everything.

Missy, I'm posting again because I love and miss you too much. I read all the things people wrote about you and its all true. You were too sweet and too nice to everyone and now what are we supposed to do without you?!?! I love you Miss...I hope you knew how much.

"When you love some like we loved her, she'll always be a part of you. It?s like you?re attached by this invisible tether, and no matter how far away you are you can always feel them. And now every time I reach for that tether, I know there?s no one on the other end and I feel like I?m falling into nothingness. Then I remember Melissa Perez. I remember a life led with no enemies, no resentments, no regrets and I?m inspired to get up out of bed and go on. We will always miss her so much. It feels like piece of us was ripped off. Just one more time I want to be with her. Ten more seconds - is that too much to ask? For ten more seconds to be with her? But I can?t, and I won?t, and the only thing keeping me from being swallowed whole by sadness is that Melissa would kill me if I did. So for now I?m just going to miss her." I love you, Melissa. Rest in Peace beautiful girl.

Steve and Jessica, we are profoundly saddened by the loss of your beautiful little girl, Melissa. Words fall short in situations like this. I never met Melissa, but looking at her pictures I can see the beauty of her soul through her eyes. Steve, you know I'm always here for you and your family. Heaven is a little brighter now,and "Missy" will live on in your hearts and minds through beautiful memories.

Sweet Melissa with the pretty smile, I will always remember the charades and the s'mores and muffins you made. Love always Great Auntie Cindy

Miss, I still cant believe you are gone. It wasnt even 2 weeks ago that we came to visit and had an amazing weekend together. I thank God for allowing us those last few moments together with you before he took you home. The memories all of your cousins and I have of you will last a lifetime. We all know that you are in a better place, walking hand in hand with Grampy. You'll always be My California Girl and I'll love and miss you forever...

"Remembrance is a golden chain Death tries to break, but all in vain. To have, to love, and then to part Is the greatest sorrow of one's heart. The years may wipe out many things But some they wipe out never. Like memories of those happy times When we were all together." Unknown

My heart is deeply saddened by the loss of such a sweet & caring soul. Melissa's bright & shinning smile will be greatly missed at San Tan. My condolences & prayers go out to the Perez family.

Missy, I just wanted you to know that Auntie Pat will love and miss you for eternity. I will always remember how you knew I would keep candy in my purse for you, Andrew, Gio & Kayla. You are with Grandpa David now and our sweet Angel. Rest in Peace Missy, our hearts are broken.

Steven and Jessica, our family has been greatly affected by the loss of your Baby girl Melissa. There is no other way to put into words how deeply sorry we are for your loss. We only hope that you find some comfort knowing that you have the support and prayers of our entire family.

Jessica, Steve and Family! My heart goes out to. Know that you are in my prayers. Please Jessica let me know if you need anything! I pray God craddles you in His tender loving arms.

Melissa left behind many people who loved and thought of her as a great person and friend. Every story is about her laughing and having fun. Her passing has shaken our family deeply and we continue praying for every person touched by Melissa's life. There are no words to express to your family how very saddened we are for your loss. My children will forever miss their friend. Please accept our sincere condolences.

From the little i ever talked to you, you were a great, and nice person. Your were such a nice person, annd i wish you didnt pass away, but you will never die in the memories of every single person who ever spoke to you, thank you for being who you were.

Missy, you looked so much like me, I always boasted about my girl "Missy". Somehow I believe you knew that Nana and Grandpa loved you dearly. My heart is broken, I believe you are in the arms of Grandpa David, until we meet again, you are always in my heart. Rest in Eternal Peace my Sweet Angel.

Cousin Steven and Family, this is your cousin Ernest and family: wife Trisha and son Dillon, wanting to say we are extremely saddened and heartbroken over the loss of your daughter Melissa. You are all in our prayers and our hearts are with you during this difficult time. We love you all!!! Sincerely, Cousin Ernest

No words can take away the pain that your family is going through with the loss of such a beautiful child!! I am so sorry your family is going through this. Please know that prayers are continually being poured out for your Family and for strength through these times...

Our sincerest condolences. Melissa was a very kind, mature, astute little lady. She was very considerate of my daughter and I trusted her. Melissa was very well loved by Steve and Jessica and her siblings. Everything they do is for thier kids. They embody the word "family" and my hope is that they feel the sense of love and commitment from the entire community. It takes a village to raise a child and a village to honor her memory. She will be honored.

Please accept our sincere condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family through this heartbreaking time.

Please accept my condolences. May God continue to give you strength, unity, and comfort to get through this very difficult time. Your family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you.

Our prayers go out to your entire family. Life is so fragile, and Melissa's was way too short.

Jessica,Steve & the whole Perez family... Please know that you & the whole family are I our thoughts and in our prayers... may God be with you in this most difficult time...hugs and love The Burkharts.. Neil, Sylvia and Kennedy <3

Steve and Jessica, please accept our deepest sympathy and condolences for the loss of your daughter. We have known each other for so long and have each seen our children be born. All those years watching our children grow up and touch our lives makes this all so difficult. Melissa was a very special and wonderful girl who was full of smiles and happiness, and she has provided us with so many fond memories. It was by the grace of God that we crossed paths over 20 years ago in the Marine Corps, and as your brother I am here for you standing by your side as I did back then. We are so deeply saddened by this tragedy, but I know with the support of your family and friends you can celebrate the life of Melissa and please know that my family and I are here for you every step of the way. We love you Steve and Jessica, and Linda and I are so honored to be Melissa's God Parents, may she rest in peace and be remember forever.

Jessica and family, our hearts and prayers go to each of you. Please if we can be of any help do not hesitate to let us know. Hugs.

Steve and Jessica,... we are so sorry for your loss. Your family has always been a example of love, faith, and support. Please know that Missy is with our Heavenly Father, and taking "care" of her family.....Leon, Shala, Jessica, and Tannner

Missy, My heart is broken in a billion pieces..I love you so much and can't believe you won't be coming over to spend your vacations with me. Just know that I love you sooooo much and I will miss you forever and even longer than that. Look after us ok...you know we'll need it. Love you...Love You...Love you...

May peace come to you all..Our heartfelt sympathies to your family.. May God bless you and Missy.. So sorry .. Rich, Tommy, lib, Bella and KD

I don't know what to say or do, I'm almost at the point of tears. I send my prayers out for the Perez family and "Missy". I am posting the info on my "Facebook" in hopes of having many people show for the car wash and maybe even help out some other way. /salute

My son attended San Tan El 6 years ago, but have always considered this school to be a part of our "family", so when something like this happens it affects us deeply. Our prayers go out to the Perez family at this time of need. No words can be said to take away the pain but just knowing that Missy is in all of our hearts is one of the best ways to help get through this time. R.I.P. with lots of hugs...:O)

Steve and Jessica, the loss of Melissa has deeply touched and saddened our entire family. Melissa was such a beautiful soul, we hope to help you in celebrating her life and the memories she created in the short time she was blessed to be in our lives. Know that we love you all and are there for you, in anything you need.

Steve and Jessica, please accept my sincerest condolences on behalf of the Villanueva family. I can't put into words how saddened we are for your tragic loss. However, Melissa still lives in your hearts and memories and that can never be taken away. There is no way to easily cope or feel completely whole again, but know that she was beautiful person and no one can explain why the world works this way. Please don't hesitate to call if we can help with anything in this difficult time.

Melissa, we love & miss you so much. You were such a great & wonderful daughter, sister, granddaughter, babysitter, & best friend. We can't believe your gone. We will help you look after your family. So for now we will part and keep you in our hearts and memories. Farewell our babysitter & best friend we will see you again in heaven someday. Rest In Peace now child.

We are all deeply saddened by your loss. Please accept our condolences. Melissa was such a wonderful person and will be greatly missed. Don't hesitate to get in touch if there is anything we can do for you during this difficult time.
