Personally, Melissa is the mother of two talented and outgoing boys – Ryan and Aiden. Ryan is 16 and attending Peachtree Ridge High School, with plans to attend college and, ultimately, law school. Aiden is 12 and attends Hull Middle School. He has a diverse set of interests and has taught himself crochet, sewing, and even guitar. They are both a joy to know and love.
