I am the mother of Jami Tolman, a friend to Melissa. I only met Melissa once last year while she was taking her children into the school. Jami told me that day of her cancer and how much she loved Melissa. This last month as Jami watched her friend leave this world she shared with me how hard it was to watch her and her family suffer. She said she didn’t know why Melissa had come into her life but she knows there is a reason for their friendship and if for nothing else, her example. She said she wants to be just like her, and coming from an already incredible woman, that is quite a compliment and tells me, a stranger, how wonderful Melissa is. I hope I am privileged enough to be their friend in the next life. Thank you Melissa for all you gave, especially to my daughter. HUGS!
