Words cannot reflect what a caring person Lissa was. Nursing was a perfect profession back when she was able. The constant pain she endured after the car accident often took back seat by her focusing on trying to help others. She loved music and dancing & strived to be happy thru that pain. Ethan was the center of her Indiana life and I hope as he gets older, he will know just how much he meant to her.
Erma, we are very sorry for your loss. May peace of mind come your way when it can.
A number of Melissa’s relation mentioned that they would have requested Melissa’s obituary to have, at very least, listed her father by name so we hope it will be acceptable here. Larry A. Reinbold often referred to his first born daughter Melissa as “Sis”. His children all remained close to him as they became adults and even his step children held him in high regard. Its only been 2 years since Larry passed on but it is of some comfort to Melissa’s siblings to know that Sis is now reunited in Heaven with her Dad, her Grandpa “Tud” and her husband David.
