Author: Melissa Skeens
I met Melissa in 1982 at the Kappa Sig house in Columbia. I was dating David and she of course, Jeff. From the minute I met her, I knew I wanted to be around her. She was such a strong woman; nice but sassy, life of the party, and so easy to be around. Obviously, this never changed. Even in the throes of her sickness, when she could have crawled in bed and felt sorry for herself, she was out working for others(both humans and animals), working hard at the gym fighting to live, and doing things with friends and family (I would imagine mostly to make us feel better). Melissa is an inspiration to both David and me.
When I sat down to write this, I started by writing words that described Melissa. As I looked at them, I realized I had almost spelled her name. All I had to do was add the “A”
