Midge, Charlie, Rick, and Chip,
So sorry to hear of your loss. I can only imagine what you must feel like.
My memories of Missy are of long ago when the kids were small and played together living right behind each other was great, we had great times with our camping expeditions, and of course all the things that go with growing up.
It has been 30 years next year since we moved from Hidalgo but the fond memories are there along with the bad times.
I will remember you all in my...

Midge, Rick and Chip,
Was so sorry to here about Missy. I can't imagine the loss. I am sorry I was not able to attend. We have been back in Texas just over a year now. Take care.

DEAR MIDGE,
I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT MISSY. MY MOM CALLED TODAY AND HAD TALKED TO HER FRIEND LUCILLE.I MET MISSY WHWN I WAS ABOUT 4 YEARS OLD AND WE LOST CONTACT WHEN WE MOVED TO TEXAS IN 1978. WE WERE CHILDHOOD FRIENDS. I HAVE PHOTOS OF US ON THE BEACH AT NAGS HEAD WHEN WE WERE KIDS AND PHOTOS AT MY BIRTHDAY PARTY IN 1966 AND 1967. I WILL TRY TO DOWNLOAD THEM.WE HAD FUN AS KIDS AND OUR BACK GATE JOINED YOURS. I REMEMBER THE PET RACOON, THE THE BASSET HOUND THAT GOT THE FISH HOOK STUCK...

Dear Midge , Rick & Chip ,
So very sorry to hear about Missy .
It was a real shock for me .
Lesley called and told me from Texas - -her mother had told her .
A friend had called Joyce and told her -- so in a round about way - -I found out .
Living here - -I missed it .
Again , my heart goes out to all of you .

Midge,
I was so sorry to read of Missy's death. I remember all the fun we had with she and your boys during our many sorority events-especially the seafood cookouts- at your home. Lana and I just spoke and she sends her condolescences.

So sorry about your loss. I knew Missy from many years ago but lost touch when she moved away. I remember all the good times and trips to Nags Head. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this diffult time.

Dear Midge, Charley,

I can't even imagine! Please accept our deepest sympathy for your tremendeous loss. The death of a child has to be the worst! Please know, that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
Monica and Family (Jana's friend)

Melissa made a large number of new friends in recent years at one of the Slip's favorite restaurants, and she was a great friend to all that had the opportunity to meet her. She was very quick witted, very personable and funny and could put anyone in their place, should that be necessary. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family in this time of grieving. Melissa will truly be missed by her friends from the "regulars corner."

Dear Midge, Charley, Rick and Chip,
My memories go back to Melissa's skiing with us as a child, her graduation and being on the Dean's list, and helpng with a web site even during her illness.
You are all in our thoughts,
Jana and Tony
