"In Memorium..."

Melissa Greer Polsky

(from WBTV's website)


Last Friday we had to let go of a valiant weather comrade, meteorologist Melissa Greer. At the un-ripe age of 27 she lost her battle with an extremely rare form of cancer, but not before giving birth to her son Conner, leaving him and her newlywed husband Roger behind.

She had been the weekend meteorologist at WBTV 3, and even after her cancer diagnosis and subsequent radiation treatments, returned briefly to on-air work with her proud new 'do'. She made the Energizer Bunny feel second-rate...

At times like this we mourn and are saddened at such an untimely loss...but we must remember that each of us has their own particuluar Journey in this Life and that all happens as it needs to, in perfection. We must respect and honor that process.

Melissa, we warmly smile up to you, wiping away tears. I bet your weather is FAR more predictable in heaven!

My heart breaks for her husband and son. But God is good and her pain in this life is over. They will all be reunited in heaven one day. Her family is in our prayers.

Bob, I am saddened to hear of the loss of your colleague.
She had a purpose in her short life, that had somehow been fulfilled to perfection --- and we human beings don't quite grasp that in mourning her loss. God has a plan for her husband and infant son as well --- they and all her family are in my prayers.
