I am so sorry to learn of Missy’s passing.
I met Missy in Mrs. Redabough’s six grade class. During a class presentation, I mentioned I enjoy fixing things. After the presentation Missy handed me a note, asking do you know how to fixed stereos. That weekend while our fathers drank beer, we began a lifelong friendship. Good by bear, you will be missed.

I worked with Melissa at Novartis for several years. She was the kindest person, a lover of all animals and a loyal friend. She is home and safe now, her struggles are over. She will be missed. Peace to you Missy.
