Melissa Lee Carlson, Nov. 10 1959 - May 27 2009, Loved Always

Just got back from Melissa's memorial service. It was very beautiful and touching. She was a true mentor and friend and I already miss her dearly. =*(












She was 5'2" but had a thing for big horses. =) Here's her first horse, a Percheron named Titan:



I only met her a few years ago when she began working as my protege/soon-to-be-replacement at the stable in the summer of 2006, but I will treasure our time together always. She was a truly amazing and wonderful woman.

It's so tragic that she was still so young when she passed away. I'm sorry you had to lose your friend. :(
