Memory from Hala Swearingen

I Met Melissa When She And I Worked At Waterford Institute In The Year 2000. I Was A Bit Intimidated By Her At First . . . She Was Such A Beautiful Person. She Was Always So Graceful And Had Such Amazing Dark Eyes. Over Time, I Was Privileged To Become Her Friend. There Was Always A Strength And Peace About Melissa. I Had Recently Become Divorced And Was Very Sad During This Time. I Was Surprised To Find Out That She Was Recently Divorced As Well. I Was Blessed To Have Her Become My Roommate. While I Tended To Wallow In Self Pity And Depression, She Brought Peace And Comfort. She Was There For Me During Very Low Times. Even Though She Was Also Suffering, I Don’t Remember Comforting Her—i Only Remember Her Comforting Me. What An Amazing Woman. Compassionate, Loving And Full Of Faith. The Lord Must Have Known I Needed Her. We Often Went Out Country Dancing On The Weekends. That Is Where She Met Her Husband Sam. She Didn’t Remain My Roommate Very Long Once She Met Him, But She Was An Angel In My Life.
