Always in our hearts

This memorial site was created in memory of, Melissa Viall, who was born on April 17, 1983 and died on October 8, 2006.

A young woman "with so much to give" died tragically in the early hours of Sunday Ocober 8 as she helped a friend who had been hurt.

Twenty three-year-old, Melissa Viall, who loved life and treasured her friends was the victim of a hit and run incident on Pakuranga Highway.

Melissa had the warmest of hearts and died as she was administering first aid to a friend who had been injured following an altercation outside a bar.

It is a testimony to her that the skills she used at that moment had been learned in a first aid course she completed the previous day.

Melissa was a person who put her hand out to help others and in a statement to Remembering her mother Colleen said, "she just didn't deserve to go that way."

This permanent memorial has been established to Melissa so family members, friends and the general community may express their condolences and support to the Viall family at this time.

I only knew you for a short time when we studied together, yet it was enough to last me a life time, what can I say..  you were INFECTIOUS...

three weeks ago a parent at my school was trying to get her daughters attention and she called out “come on Missy Moo” Ihave thought about you and spoken of throughout the years, but when I heard that, I looked at her as if I had seen a ghost.. she asked me what was wrong I told her nothing, I just haven’t heard that for quite sometime.. tears rolled down my eyes and I quickly exited the room...

Now I’m here infront of the computer surfing the net, I typed in your name and this page came up, I had no idea it even existed, I have never cried like this for so long...

Melissa my time with you was brief but affective, you were so open and full of life, showing me your latest  bargains on clothes, shoes and bags, offering to look out for what’s on special, you would talk about what looks good or what your plans were for the weekend, ask what would be a good birthday present for someone your going to see in the weekend, you’d even say it loud enough for the class to hear because everyone’s opinion mattered ...

You were such a welcoming and caring person that at times wouldn’t take no for an answer when you would tell me to sit with you and Bridget at lunchtime, knowing that the girls I usually sit with, weren’t in class that day...

You broke down barriers,  your love for life, children and people reflected in the room, you had a radiant quality like a luminous  gem, that was rare and absolutely priceless, no millionaire could experience...

But you gave that memory to me and all those who love you, I am blessed to have known you Melissa, I’m sure without a doubt your making yourself well known where you are, just don’t go taking all the stars up there, save some for your sidekicks JJJJ

Madison hadn't talked about you for awhile then out of nowhere last Thursday night she mentioned you while we were looking through some old house photos.  So we have decided that every 8th October we will pull out the photos and enjoy one of your favourite pastimes.

Always in our hearts Miss Moo xoxoxoxo

Love also to Colleen, Gary and family.  Thank you soo much for sharing all of Moo's little goodies.  Madison, Bella and I treasure them all right down to the pens in her pencil case!

Moo,

Last night we raised a glass of your fav lindaur for..

Last  night we remembered all the good times..

Last night we each had a small tear in our eyes as we tried to be strong...

Bust most of all, last night we gathered together not only as friends but as a group that will always have that one connection. A friendship that was shared with you that brings us all together as one. And you will live on through us.

You are in our thoughts and our hearts every day.
