As Melissa's daughter Jocelyn posted in Facebook on December 17 in what she described as the "...hardest post I have ever made", I can also say:
-- Because I knew Melissa Emerson, I loved her;
-- The beautiful song of Melissa Emerson's life will always sing in my heart.
Peace to the extended Emerson family.
Thank you, Melissa for your friendship and ministry.
May her soul and the soul of all the faithful departed Rest In Peace and rise in glory. Roy, you and your whole family are in Elizabeth and my prayers.
Dear Roy, Jocelyn, Cassie, Jeremy, Amanda, and all your family,
I am so sorry to hear of Melissa's passing. On Christmas Eve, I thought about the beautiful music she was making before the Throne, finally glorified and perfected. I love you all. You are in my prayers and will be in the months ahead. May God give you the peace that only He can.
