My deepest condolences to the family. I first met Melisa at Valdosta High School. I remember her as always a pleasure to be around and have good conversations with. She was a beautiful soul. I will truly miss her laughter and kindness.
I met Melisa in 2009 at SGMC on the Wild Wild West aka 5 West. Melisa and I became the best of friends. I can remember our Manager at the time, Chrissy, would always come out of her office and make me go down the hallway because when I was at the front desk talking to Melisa, we would always be laughing about something. We started taking breaks together and everybody knew it was she and I coming, going, or sitting down if we were laughing. Melisa loved to dress up and would keep herself together looking nice. I will really miss you my friend. This one hit hard, but I wanted to show my love for you. To her family, I am so sorry for your loss!! Your daughter, sister, mother, wife, and friend will be truly missed! I love you Melisa and you will not be forgotten.
Sorry about your lost God is still control my prayers go out to the family
Praying for peace and comfort to the family
I am deeply saddened by the sudden passing of my dear first cousin, Melissa Edwards Battle. We shared countless memories, laughter, and heartfelt conversations over the years. Her kindness, warmth, and beautiful spirit touched everyone who knew her. I will forever cherish the bond we had and the love we shared. My heart aches knowing she is gone so soon, but I take comfort in knowing she is at peace. Melissa will always hold a special place in my heart, and her memory will live on in all of us who loved her so deeply.
One of the Nicest Ladies I've ever Known! Rest Well ! You will never be forgotten 🙏 ❤️
Melisa and I were good friends and worked together at SGMC for about 10 years. She was a sweet lady and I enjoyed her company so much. She taught me so much. She was always calm and kept her cool even when it was complete chaos on 5 West where we worked together. Even though she's resting now, I know we will see her in the earth made new. I love you my friend, I'll see you on that glorious morning when Jesus comes back.
It is with our deepest sympathy, that we write this message of , peace, comfort and love for the Battle and Edward's family. May God's peace always abide in this difficult time.
MAY GOD COMFORT YOU. During This Time Of Loss. There's very little anyone can or do to ease the loss of one who meant so much to you. But may you find comfort in the sadness that you bear, just knowing there are many hearts that sympathize and care.
With Deepest Sympathy Ms. Freddie M Copeland and Family
May the grace of God cover always...Love you 🙏 ♥️
