Bergstein, Melissa, You Are The Sunshine Of My Life That's Why You'll Always Stay Around You Are The Apple Of My Eye Forever You'll Stay In My Heart. Our Angel, Melissa Chantal Natascha Bergstein was born on February 3, 1993 in Starnberg, Germany. Born Dutch Nationality, she spent her first three years in Germany and Holland. At age four, Melissa and her family moved to Boca Raton, FL. The Lord called his Angel back to heaven last Monday February 14, 2011. Melissa will be deeply missed by her family especially her parents, Nicole Van Den Bergh and Bernard Bergstein, and her best friend and brother Bryan Bergstein. Melissa's Aunts, Uncles and Cousins have traveled from Texas, Holland and Switzerland. Melissa was involved in a tragic car accident together with the love of her life, Mateo Londano. Although her injuries were so severe, she unselfishly allowed friends and family 34 hours to say their final goodbyes. The Delray Beach Hospital has never experienced such an outpouring of love, support and tears. Hundreds of people filled the waiting rooms, hallways and lobby praying for Melissa. Many were refused entry. Melissa's passing has brought together so many friends and loved ones. Only through her strength are we able to cope with our loss, hour by hour. On Valentine's Day Melissa blessed us all with her love and was called back to the Lord, after spending 18 years here on Earth. From the day she was born Melissa touched people's hearts with her smile, her beauty, and her special "Melissa Laugh" that everyone knew. From the day her little brother Bryan was born, she was his guardian Angel. Only 17 months apart, Melissa and Bryan grew up as best friends. Melissa and Bryan were inseparable from day one, attending the same schools, always hugging each other in the hallways, always taking care of each other. They were always each other's strength, and Melissa's strength and spirit continues to live in Bryan. Melissa was an All American soccer player, playing club soccer for Team Boca since the age of 8, Valedictorian, member of the National Honor Society, and voted as the "prettiest face" in her senior year book. Accepted at numerous colleges Melissa was elated to be accepted to her number one choice, The University of Colorado, in Boulder. Melissa was an angel, tomboy, scholar-athlete, who loved 4 wheeling, wakeboarding, attending services at Victory Church, fishing, spending time at the beach, country music, skiing, and all sports including manager of the Varsity Wrestling team at American Heritage High School. Melissa comforted and inspired everyone that knew her to achieve their personal goals. A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Friday February 18th 2011 at 2 p.m. at Spanish River Church, 2400 NW 51st Street (Yamato Road) Boca Raton, FL.

Matt is loved as high as the sky
and deep as the ocean.
Matt was a senior at Florida State University, studying to be a Marine Biologist. Matt loved to live life. He studied hard and played hard. Matt made a significant research discovery while interning with NOAA that scientists believe will help save the coral reefs in our oceans. Matt was a handsome, bright, kind young man who had just begun to touch the world!
On December 21, 2006, someone made a choice to get into his car after spending the evening drinking. Twenty-one-year-old Matt was traveling to West Palm Beach with friends to do something he loved to do, SCUBA dive. They were stuck in traffic on I-95 when the drunk driver, going 70 MPH, crashed into the back of their car. Matt was riding in the backseat, wearing his seatbelt. He suffered extensive brain injuries and was in a coma on life support for a week. On December 29, 2006, Matthew Beard tragically died from his injuries. This bright young man had so much more to give and this world has certainly lost because someone made a conscious choice to drink and drive. Matt's life was taken from him and his mother was left with only memories of her son, her only child, because of a senseless, preventable and violent crime.

LIFE IS A SONG. LOVE IS THE MUSIC.
CAMERON IS FOREVER THE MUSIC.
Cameron was an extremely loving, compassionate and high spirited young man. Music was his passion and he played four instruments – the guitar, piano, drums and trumpet. His family and friends always came first in Cameron's life.
On March 8th, 2008, Cameron had been with his family at a Foreigner concert, his family not knowing it would be the last time they would see him alive. He left to go hang out with friends. They were at an apartment complex where some shopping carts had been left out. Cameron made a choice to get inside a shopping cart and hold onto the side of the car. This is one form of car surfing. The driver took him approximately 30 mph over a speed bump. Cameron was thrown 27 feet and died instantly from massive head injuries. Those who love him are devastated.
Car surfing is defined as riding on the outside of a moving vehicle. This happens more than people realize! YouTube is inundated with videos of teens car surfing in various ways. It is deadly, even at slow speeds. It is a growing and disturbing trend with the CDC first releasing statistics in October 2008.

Matt's message
The light will guide you. . . .
Matt was a beacon of light in many people lives.
He will always shine brightly in our eyes.
Matt was 15 years old and a sophomore at Wellington Community High School. He was an extremely bright yet witty teen. Matt was secretary of his class and a Member of The Key Club. He had a love for life and a love for people. His smile could lighten up any room and brighten anyone's day. No one was a stranger to Matt. A hand shake was a proper gesture but Matt preferred hugs. He played various sports through the many phases of his life. His favorites being kite surfing and golf. However, his first love was fishing. It was his love for the sport that led him to become an avid Guy Harvey fan. He admired Guy's love of the ocean and his artist ability. His wardrobe consisted simply of Guy Harvey tees.
On November 7th, 2009 Matt was involved in a rollover accident. He, unfortunately, was not wearing his seat belt and was ejected from the vehicle. Matt died at the scene. Matt will forever be in our hearts. Accidents such as this are preventable. Think of safety first whenever your behind the wheel of any vehicle.
Wear your seat belt !!
It could simply be the hug of your life !!
