    Melissa was not just my cousin but my uplifting angel that kept me going. Her kind words through hard times and the loss of my Daddy and hers gave us a bond. I will never forget you. Fly high angel. Say hi to Uncle Mike, Daddy and Grandma for me. Until we meet again!

    Dear Family,
    Saying goodbye to a loved one is never easy, especially our Missy. She made special memories with each of us that will continue to shine bright in our days ahead. I pray that God’s grace, love, peace, and joy will fill the void and replace the pain that our hearts feel.

    I’ve know Melissa throughout our baseball adventure and it continued when i moved down to Cape. We became closer and i loved running into her everywhere. She was my go to when i needed someone to talk to or just vent. We had so much similar situations. This hit me so hard. I am so thankful for the time i got to spend with her but i am selfish and as many of us i wish we had more time. I will NEVER forget her and i will cherish all the memories and the time We had together. Everyone LOVED that amazing woman! We need more people like Her in this world. Please love one another! 💕

    I pray for the Holy Spirit to comfort and hold the entire family through this most unbearable time of loss! It was a honor for me to help Melissa when she had Meningitis around 10 years ago. I visited her in the hospital and put healing Essential oils along her spine with prayer to help her body fight, repair, and be restored. It was an intense time but she fought her way through to victory – so it grieves my heart that her destiny was shorten through such a tragic event as this! Though I celebrate that she is in her forever home with her Dad Mike Kelly who I had the pleasure of knowing and called a friend! My deepest condolences goes out to my sweet sister Kathryn whose love knew no bounds for Melissa and her children and great granddaughter!

    I was in complete shock when I hear the news of Melissas’ passing and still can not comprehend that she is gone. Sending condolences to the entire Kelly and West family on their loss of this amazing soul. Melissa, knowing your dad was there to greet you has given me some comfort in all this. RIP

    Coming to the end of a crazy 2020 I began reflecting. Melissa leaving us to be with her dad and her father struck me as one of the year’s great tragedies. You truly are unforgettable Missy. Love to the whole family – never forget what a blessing each of you/we are to each other – and how precious every moment is.
