To put two souls to rest

Nationwide

For Melissa and Alexis …

Melissa was a talented and creative young woman. Loved by her friends and family, this caring, gentle, and loyal person . She is survived by her beautiful artworks and by the memories of her friends. They described her as a free spirit who helped them challenge their own boundaries and showed them how to live spontaneously and with authenticity.

Melissa was very close to her uncle, Alexis, who had died just three days before her.

Alexis had a wide circle of friends who cared about him deeply. They recognised his gentleness and commitment, his unshakeable sense of loyalty, and his exceptional skill for humour - the impressions of his workmates left people in tears of laughter.

Both profoundly missed, both gone far too soon. This page is to cover their funeral costs as the family cope with two bereavements at once.

Use of funds

All funds raised will go toward funeral costs, an event that lifted both Melissa and Alexis on their final journeys and helped salve those mourning them.
