Melissa lived in a group home in Dracut where she enjoyed listening to music, playing her small piano and shovel. She looked forward to daily involvement in the Lifelinks/Incompass Day Program. Melissa loved visits from her parents, especially on her birthday when her father brought her a birthday cake and Christmas when he brought a thank you cake an shrimp cocktail for all.
