Memorial Tree Plantings

Melissa Wilson, a radiant light with a heart full of laughter and love, passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of strength, style, and deep devotion to her family. Born during a snowstorm in Far Rockaway, NY, she lived with the same bold spirit that welcomed her into the world.

From her joyful life in Stockbridge to her days at Coca-Cola, Melissa was known for her warmth, laughter, and unmistakable flair. She had a gift for turning the ordinary into something beautiful—whether through fashion, food, or her heartfelt hugs. Even after her cancer diagnosis, she met life with grace, courage, and a smile that made others feel deeply loved.

Melissa’s greatest joy was her family, especially her beloved son Mekhi. Her love lives on in all who knew her.

She was, and always will be, a force of nature and a source of light.

  6. CandleImageI met Amy through my godbrother, Stanley, and we instantly became family. Amy introduced me and my family (mom and sis) to her family, and they all were so welcoming. My heart breaks for all of you. Hold Melissa’s infectious smile in your hearts, cherish every memory and embrace every hug that you’ve shared.

    “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.”

    I love you all! Rest well, Melissa! ❤️🕊️

  7. CandleImageMelissa had a laugh that was contagious. That is one thing I’ll miss most about her. She would have you laughing, and you don’t even know what’s funny. And don’t even get me started on her hugs. She was just an amazing person. I’ve found peace in knowing she is at peace. I will miss her deeply, but I will carry her warmth and laughter with me always.
