"Michelle - I don't have any thing I can truly say right now that would make this an easier, but I wanted to share this with you. Melissa was my true soul-mate. I've never felt so connected to another soul like the angel that she still is to this day. Those two angels are going to be in good hands and you have my word on that. I really hope you two are going to be with me tomorrow as I find today so hard because tomorrow I... I have to do something I shouldn't be doing - not like this. Please tell Mel that I love her so much and am going to miss her for the rest of my life. I've felt her presence around me these past few days and the sky has been shinning like no tomorrow with the addition of someone as special as Mel. May you both rest in peace and please save a place for me at the table when my turn comes. I am waiting for the day I get to give her a big hug and kiss like I did before we left that morning. If only we had more time together. I love you Michelle. RIP"
