Melissa and her husband, Craig, lost their first baby, Cameron Joseph, when they were 39 weeks pregnant. Melissa experienced decreased fetal movement in an otherwise uneventful pregnancy. They discovered at St. Clair Hospital on November 7, 2010 that Cameron had passed away. After 20 hours of labor, he was born the next day. Although an autopsy was performed, no cause of death was determined.

Melissa and Craig were able to keep Cameron in their hospital room for 30 hours where he was baptized and had a photo session with Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. It was during that time they tried to build a lifetime of memories.

They have since been blessed with two beautiful and healthy daughters. Melissa is passionate about leading the Still Family project because it enables her to connect her living children with their brother. She graduated from Robert Morris University with a degree in Accounting. She has held positions at BNY Mellon, PNC Bank, KPMG, and PwC with a focus on operational and third party risk management and internal audit.
