What a great loss for the families and children of our community. What a great loss for those who work in the children services field in our community. Misty brought comfort and cheer to a circumstance that involved challenge, and we were always improved by her involvement. I will miss that big smile!

Misty was a co-worker of mine. Always pleasant with a wonderful smile. The kids loved her. What a tragedy that she was taken so young and full of life. It was wonderful that John and Misty found each other.
