Today, we laid Melissa to rest beside her sister in the peaceful Horn Hill Cemetery. Surrounded by loved ones, we bid her farewell with heartfelt words, knowing that our paths will cross again someday.
As we made our way to the cemetery, I decided to give Melissa one last ride in the Corvette, a tribute to her love for speed and thrill. I can only hope that she enjoyed it, especially the three burnouts and the dark, lasting imprints they left on the pavement. These memories will forever remind me of this bittersweet day.
Following the cemetery service, we returned to the acreage for a heartfelt family supper. Initially, we attempted to dine outdoors, but Mother Nature had other plans, sending us scurrying indoors as the weather turned unruly. Despite the change of scenery, we gathered around the table and shared a wonderful meal together, cherishing each other’s company and creating cherished memories.
