Dear Jimmy and Family:
There isn't much to say, in light of the tragedies we've both experienced this year. But we can only live on for them as they live on in our hearts.
Love you all dearly.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

I am so sorry to hear that Missy passed. We went to elementry school together and then met back up for junior high and high school. She always knew how to light up a room and she never met a stranger. She found me again on Classmates and I have been keeping up with her page and sending messages. I really hate that she has gone, but know, she is in a much better place without pain. My heart goes out to Jimmy, the kids and family. God Bless

Dearest Jean and Hubert,
You and your dear family have been in our thoughts and prayers during Melissa's illness, and especially since hearing of her death on Friday. It is always so hard to lose a loved one, and we can only imagine how difficult it must be to lose a beloved daughter. You were always such loving parents, and we know she was nothing but a joy to you. We are sure you have many special memories to cherish and comfort you. We are sorry we will not be able to attend the funeral, but do know we will be there with you in spirit.
You have our deepest sympathy.
Much love, Betty Ann and Bill Shaner

My darling Carper family. To Jimmy, Andrew (my other baby boy) and Alayna (my sweetheart) I don't even know what to say. I know the hurt I feel and can not imagine how heavy your hearts are. Missy was someone you can't even find the perfect word for. She has been such a role model for so many, she touched the hearts of people she never knew. But our promise to you is you will live on and we will all continue your work to remind others to have their check ups and to live EVERY day as if it is your last. Live your life to the fullest, let your friends and family know just how much you love them because you can never say "I LOVE YOU" to many times. Missy I had the honor to be right by your side when God said "Missy, come home, my good and perfect servant. Your work on earth is done." Come rest high on MY mountain, for your work on earth is done. Come to HEAVEN ah shouting love for the Father and His Son." I know you are waking by the beach, with no worries and no pain, I pray you know the love you gave and that this earth has lost one of the most beautiful souls there ever lived. Don't worry we will all take care of your family and each other. But most important we will see you again. Save us all a seat next to that beautiful beach because we can only Imagine, YOU have seen and touched the face of our FATHER and His mercy will bring us through. We love you Missy Girl!! And we will carry what you tought us in our hearts and lives forever. I LOVE YOU!

Dear Jimmy and children, When you read this it won't help with your loss of Missy. No matter who signs this, we all know she "fought the good fight" and now her battle is over. Just keep the memories of the "good times" and soon all the bad will be past.
Love to all of you..Mary Anne, Mary Neva, and Jamie Huff--Juddy and Stephanie will want to sign themselves.
