“We Have Danced
“We've lived through exciting times,
We have danced upon all the World hast cast beneath our feet -
We have traveled through the valley ‘men and women’ have called pursuit.
And we have bent the knee to a stronger than we -
Know you are loved, know you are sustained, know you are healed, know you are gained - in Him - Who is Christ Jesus.”
“And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto Him ...”
Luke 7:3
When sadness, and brokenness, begins another space in your heart, and you once again embrace, as did Melissa, to bring normal as close as you can in your love, I would like to commend you to study a little reading in Jeremiah 25:29-38 and should you like to communicate contact by removing the spaces will create a talk to: fer dyjo 3@tut anota .com
Again, I am so sorry for your great loss and grief May God comfort you very soon With His peace that passes all understanding.
In Christ Jesus.

I want to continue to update memories here through the upcoming months but one of my favorite memories was when she drove herself to Beaufort, South Carolina where I was living and was pregnant with my first born. My husband was deployed and I was still working full time and very unprepared for a newborn. She took the time to drive down, help me finish decorating his nursery, and wash all of his clothes in Dreft. Moments like this were very common for Melissa as she loved helping others and being there for her loved ones. To say I will miss her is an understatement.
I love you Melissa Lynn Logan. (Aka Big Bird, Elmo, Melon and countless other nicknames we called her in highschool.)
