Todd, I just read about your loss in the St John's newsletter. I remember you so fondly from PH and although I didn't know Missy, I am sure she was a fabulous girl! As a mother, my heart goes out to your children. I pray that Jesus takes them into his arms and comforts them now & as the years go by. I echo another friend's message when I say that all of the guidance and support people have received from your parents will be showered back upon you and your family. I pray that you and the...

Dear Carole, I am so sorry about Missy. I remember the beautiful, sweet little girl and know from all reports that she grew up to be a beautiful, sweet young woman. How sad that she was taken so soon. May God's peace comfort you and all of her family in the days to come.

Todd, My husband and I had dinner with our wonderful friends, Jenny-Ellen and Reed Russell, last night and learned about Missy's passing. I haven't seen you in years but will always remember you and your family from Crystal Spring and St. John's in Roanoke. Please know how much you and your family are in our prayers.

The news of Missy's death has made such an impact on me. I met Missy at the Day School when we first started school. I have many fond memories of preschool through high school. It' hard to imagine that Missy is no longer sharing her physical beauty and love with those of us here on Earth.She fought a long and painful fight and I know now she no longer suffers.

To Jamie and your whole family,
We did not have the pleasure of knowing Missy, but we know from all we have heard what an amazing woman she was. What a strong and courageous person and what an inspiration to all of us, even those of us who did not know her.
We are so sorry for your family's loss. We know Missy's spirit will live on in your hearts forever. May God's peace comfort and surround each of you. You will always remain in our thoughts and prayers.
Our love and deepest...

Todd,

Karen Finch has kept me updated on you guys over the years. I am so sorry for your family loss. I got word of the Prayer Service so the girls (We have twins that will be 4 in January) and I prayed for Missy at 12:15 p.m. and they have prayed for her and your family ever since. Now they are praying that Missy is feeling great and having fun with Jesus. In the car the other day they were talking to Missy and Jesus. They said that Missy was now in their heart just like Jesus....

My dear Carole,
Ruth sent word to me of Missy's death. I am so very sorry. Please send my best to all of the family. This has prompted reflection on all the wonderful times we had when the kids were young and I cherish them. I'm sorry you have to experience this loss.
May God's peace be with you and your family,
Punky

Our heartfelt condolences to Todd, who so selflessly gave care and comfort; to Caroline and Rollins, who your mom spoke about with pride and love; and to all family and friends who had to painfully bid farewell to Missy. She has been released from earthly time, but she will exist in your hearts. May her memory be for a blessing.
