    I was so shocked and saddened to hear that Melissa had passed away unexpectedly and certainly too young. We used to work together at IEC. She was in the optical lab and I was in the insurance dept next door. Missy was so efficient and good at her job of processing the orders and getting them sent out to all of the locations. I would often need to go over with questions and she always had the answers. She and Roy and Rick worked hard filling orders every day but I also remember hearing a lot of laughter from the room with their good-natured teasing! She is certainly gone too soon. Lucas and Hunter and all of her family, you are in my prayers in the days ahead.
