I remember the day Missy was born. We were visiting my folks, Marian and Harold Milheiser, who lived across the street from Vicki and Hugo. Melissa brought so much joy to my Mom through her growing up years, and even staying in touch following Mom's move to Madison, with pictures and news about Jordan and Caleb. She was loved like a granddaughter. My sincere condolences to all of you on your loss of this beloved, gentle soul.

Jordan and Caleb, my thoughts and prayers are with you. You have many, many people in this community who care about you. That can never take the place of your mom, of course, but please remember that you are not alone. You are surrounded by people who are there for you and who will be there to help the minute you say the word.
