I remember Missy so well. Her father and I were fellow Jersey City folk whose paths entwined again at Freehold Township HS where we both taught for several years. Donovan family parties and Belmar beach visits remain very memorable for me. Missy was a sweetheart, a true sweetheart, an adorable girl who loved life. 'Til we all meet again.
