Melissa Ann Dobiesz. We hear her name, and we are filled with so much love and beautiful memories. Melissa was called so many different nicknames by her friends and family she was known as Melis, Miss, Mel, Missy, Dobes. I called her Missy. My sister, my best Friend. She may have gone by many different nicknames, but we all knew her as the same. She was absolutely fearless. She was strong she was kindhearted, and she wanted to save everyone. She had the best laugh it was loud and obnoxious and perfect. When she was tired, she would giggle for hours at everything and anything. Missy would laugh so much that it made me laugh and drive me crazy at the same time.
Missy loved the color Pink. When she bought her first car, she decked out the interior with the pink fuzzy everything. She picked the brightest pink to paint her bedroom. She was born to be a Princess and everyone knew it! She even had princess tattooed on the back of her neck and she was so proud of it. Missy loved tattoos, piercings and being different. She never cared how anyone looked at her. She was so beautiful, had the Brightest green eyes, Dark hair and her smile made you smile. She was sassy, loud, kind, loving and adventurous.
Missy loved loud music and singing in the car. She loved food, family recipes Mom used to make her and going out to eat. Wherever the food was Missy was. She stood by my Dad while he carved the Thanksgiving turkey just to get the first bite of dark meat. She was the best Mom and gave her son Mason her whole heart. He was her world, and she was his. She was made to be a Mom. She devoted everything she could to make sure he was taken care of. She fought with everything she had to stay with us. She had so much life to live. She was the best Mom, Daughter, Cousin, Granddaughter, Friend, Niece, Aunt and the absolute best Sister. We Remember Melissa in that way, with happy memories as we fill Mason with the love she gave to us all. Melissa Ann Dobiesz, you should be here. We love you. We Miss you.
It was truly an honor to have Melissa part of our lives, even if it was only for a short while. The years that Missy was with us she filled our hearts with memories, love and laughs that will last us a lifetime. Melissa was an amazing mom, a caring daughter, a devoted sister, an adoring granddaughter, a silly cousin, a special niece, and a best friend to many! She meant the world to each and every one of us. She leaves behind a huge family and many friends who will miss her deeply until the day we will see her again. Here are some words from some of the people who miss her most.
My Mom is the sweetest lady ever that I miss so much and l miss that she was funny and love she had the sweetest stuff for me, and I just miss her a lot. (Melissa’s 10-year-old son, Mason)
It’s been seven years since you left us. Your pain and suffering ended, and I know you are finally at peace. Nothing has been the same. I can still hear your contagious laugh and your silly comments you used to say and that makes me smile. Having your beautiful, handsome, silly son here with us has been the biggest blessing. When he laughs and gets in his “silly moods” I have to look twice because he is so much like you. You will always be a part of our lives. Love you so, Mom (Melissa’s Mom, Nancy)
Melissa was funny and very smart. Melissa always knew what she wanted and didn't care what people thought of her and boy, did she love her son Mason!! I'll always be very proud of her! It will always make me sad, and I'll always wish she would have found someone to love her the way her family loved her. (Melissa's Dad, Bob)
Melissa, I miss you more than you will ever know!! I miss the private chats we shared, our laugh out loud moments, you being crazy and silly, and a whole lot more. I know you are flying high with the angels, eternally happy and you’ll never stop smiling and laughing and that makes me smile. Until we are together laughing again, sending you love in Heaven, Robin XOXOXO (Melissa’s Stepmom, Robin)
Since we are little girls I took pride in being Missy’s big sister. She was truly my best friend. I miss her deeply. Melissa was no doubt one of a kind. She loved to make people laugh and see them smile. She used her big bold laugh to grab the attention of all who were near her and it would be so contagious we would soon all be laughing. She loved the color pink and princess status fit her perfectly. She loved homemade meals and trying new foods. She was always making the best of each and every day, she was brave and spontaneous. She loved meeting new people, helping those in need and exploring new places. She loved deeply and cared for her family and friends with all she had. Being a Mom to her son Mason was her greatest joy. She is missed each and every day. (Melissa’s sister, Kristin)
Even though it is so incredibly hard to navigate life without Melissa by our sides, my favorite surprise is when her son, Mason, makes a face or smiles or laughs just like her. It brings me a little bit of joy to know that she is still living on through him! And the times where her presence is evident, is always when it is needed most! -Kelli, Melissa’s cousin
I am proud to call Melissa my best friend. We met in high school and instantly clicked. I was always very shy, but Melissa was very outgoing and broke me out of my shell. She showed me that it's ok to be yourself and was never judgmental. I will always miss her laugh, and how funny she was. She always lit up the room and would make you laugh on your worst days. I will cherish the memories we shared for the rest of my life. -Jessica, Melissa’s Best Friend
What can I say about Melissa other than my heart misses her so very much. Melissa was a daughter to me in so many ways. She is the one who makes the words, “Family doesn’t need to be blood” true. Her memory comes to us always through her son Mason as she left us a truly special young man and she will forever be with us through him. -Laurie, dear family friend
Mel and I grew up together and were best friends. We were inseparable. We instantly connected. Her smile was infectious. Sometimes when she would laugh, I would laugh, not because I knew what was funny but because every time Mel laughed, I couldn't help but to laugh with her! She was such a joy to be around. She was kind and loved hard! We miss her so much! -Krystal, Melissa’s Best Friend
