She had lived in Georgia since 2007 where she was a very dedicated, loving teacher to children with special needs in Clayton County and DeKalb County schools. Melissa was a great mother to Christopher. He was the “joy of her life” and Bill was her anchor in life. Bill supported her every decision and is dedicated to “Jenn” and Christopher.
