I am deeply saddened by the sudden demise of Melissa Long. I had the pleasure of working with her at Pillars for a number of years. She was a great worker with a beautiful smile and a caring attitude. She made my job easier and my patients felt good with her. I pray for her soul to be restful and at peace. My heartfelt condolences to the family
