Misti, there are more memories than I can count...you were my friend from the time we were 8 years old and both refused to eat that disgusting tuna dish with the funny name! From there..watch out world. I will be reminded of you each time I watch softball, see a Nissan Sentra or an Eclipse, smell a skunk, watch the planes take off, see dolphins, hear Chicago or Peter Cetera, watch The Shining...and so so much more. You will never die Misti because you lived so much and were loved by so many people. I love you Misti Dawn...always have and always will. Through our good and not so good times...you were always always my Misti Dawn. Skaters Smile Sexy so Smile Skater Style. Sorry so Sloppy. Audi....5000 girlfriend. (say hi to Tupac for me)
