"I have been praying for you all that no matter the outcome, that you will not be bitter about this and blame God for any of this. That you will rely on him instead of asking "why me." If I'm not bitter about it, than you shouldn't be either. I have also been praying that my experience brings as many people to Jesus as possible or for you to grow in the faith you already have. None of this is in my control, the only thing I can control is how I pray and how I respond. God is still working in our lives even in times of struggle." Melissa Noack
Memorial Page
This page is meant for family and friends to post comments that you would like to share about Melissa.
When Melissa and Kristin were born, they were so little and my dad, Grandpa Hunter, was so worried about them. They struggled and survived and flourished. We were all so happy and I bought them both christening gowns. Their christening was a wonderful time. As time went on Robert, Kristin and Melissa were so cute together. I remember going to their house to babysit. All 3 had towels on to be superheroes. The noise as they played and screamed was deafening. It seems impossible that Melissa is gone. She was a vibrant beautiful, sweet woman. I know that she walked with God and lives with Him but I still miss her. - (Aunt)Jane Lea
My heart is so heavy today for you all. I love you girls and I loved your sweet sister. I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers. Melissa was such a beautiful person. I am so thankful to the Lord that you all were able to come to the reunion. I will treasure that visit with you all and Mel so much. May the Lord flood you with His peace and comfort. Please tell your entire family and Jacob that I am so sorry and that I am praying for you all. - Love, Marci
I am so, so sorry for your loss. Melissa was a beautiful soul, who I know is looking over your family. Kristin, the picture you posted of her playing the harp from the hospital, truly did show her becoming the angel in heaven she is now. My childhood would not have been the same without the two cute red headed twins down the street. I have so many amazing memories of slumber parties, school functions and growing up with the Hunters. I know Melissa's spirit and memory will always be kept alive, as she is loved and cherished by so many. - Abbey
Man. I can't even describe how shocked and sad I am at this news. When my family moved back from TX and I began 6th grade, Melissa Noack was one of the first to extend herself and befriend me. From that point on she was and continued to be ...a great friend. I always admired her quick wit, warm smile and good company in all those years of trombone practice, classes and any other random times we kicked it growing up. You will surely be missed old friend. Much love and respect for a person that lived life to the fullest and left a legacy we should all continue to strive for as being better human beings... -Raymond Stoney
I'm so thankful that God ordained I would meet you & Mel in Maple Hall in 1999. You are both precious and even if life & miles have separated us, you two have always been in my heart. A piece of my heart is broken right now with the loss of her, but she lives on and my comfort comes in knowing He makes all things new and she is basking in God's glory as we speak. May your heart find comfort in knowing that as much as we love her, He loves her infinitely more. -Bianca O'Brian
“You will lose someone you can’t live without,and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.” Anne Lamott - Laura Ford
