Eric talks about Melissa

“Melissa is outgoing and makes friends easily. She is generous and supportive and a very good friend to have in hard times. Melissa treats everyone graciously and with the utmost respect. With children she is nurturing and caring and it amazes me how she instinctively knows how to relate to children of all ages.”
