Editor’s Note: We were informed that Melissa is now in the hospital and unlikely to be blogging again.
Everyone is welcome to share their thoughts with the family at the Caring Bridge site that has been set up at: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/melissapeterson
Our thoughts and prayers are with Melissa, her husband, daughter, and all her friends and family. Her friend Denise has asked us all to raise a glass of wine in her honor, preferably red!
Melissa passed tonight at 9:30pm, Matt held her, she passed peacefully after 2 weeks of fighting – with her husband, mom and dad at her side. They are an unequaled amazing family who have done nothing but set examples of grace and caring.
We will forever love her.
Inspirational blog. I hope I am as strong as she remained (although afraid) right up till the end. Sorry for your loss — to her husband, parents & daughter, family and friends.
She’s truly phenomenal.
