Sad Loss

Share on:

I am deeply saddened by the sudden death of our sweet friend Melissa Gallant, a remarkable being and powerhouse of a woman.

Her husband,  singer songwriter and author Tom Gallant, wrote (among others) the book A Hard Chance, about the terrible 1992 car accident that changed their lives forever. I met Melissa much later through Sam, who had tirelessly worked to rehabilitate her after the accident. Oh my goodness, what a quirky, powerful being!

I can just hear Lissa laugh when I look at this photo from a 2011 visit

I had talked about a wonderful day we had with Tom an Lissa in a previous post.

Sam and Lissa

As our friend Ed put it – ” She was an inspiration to everyone that had the priviledge to know her. She perservered regardless of the challenges that life threw her way and always kept her sense of humour. She will be greatly missed.”

That she will, that she will!  It feels like there is a big gap now, where Melissa used to be.

Wishing you a smooth passage, Melissa!
