Missy,

For the past 10 years no one could put a smile on my face quite like the way you did. I love you, I miss you. You'll always be in my dreams and in my heart.

Love Always,

Missy,

You were the one I always wished would have been my daughter. I feel that I have lost one of my own. All of your imperfections made you exactly what you were, a daughter anyone would have been proud of. Whether you were late to everything we were going to, offering to check my oil, or showing your true feelings, (good or bad) you were always someone I wanted near. For me, every day was brighter with you in it. I will never forget your smile and the way you made everyone feel special. This world is a sadder place without you in it.

Your wanna be dad,

Ed

Missy,
As I struggle with the words to try to say goodbye, tears flow and memories take me back many years ago to when I first met that beautiful little girl who lived down the street. Over the years you grew to be a member of our family too. You, Kelly and Kory were always together and pretty much ran the neighborhood. So many memories - from the year you all got scooters for Christmas to ice cream and boogie-boarding on the beach. I always considered you the daughter I never had. You will always hold a very special place in my heart. I will never forget you. May you and Mya fly forever on the wings of angels and watch over us. We will miss you more than you could ever know. Love you, your "Mama Holly".

to my dear miss missy,
I have put off writing this til the last day. I dont know what I could possibly say. If I knew you were to read this, I would tell you how much I love you, and how much I will miss your smile. How I think of you all of the time, and sometimes I'll laugh, and lately I'll cry my eyes out. I would want you to know how much of an impact meeting you has been on my life, and my family. And like everyone else who knows you, I fell in love with you the second I met you. I hope I will never ever forget one bit of our great times, and all of the not so great are so insignificant now. I will love you forever, I will miss your oil checks and silly dances.I'll miss riding in your favorite big brown truck and just hoping to get it started! I want you to know that I will never forget how much you helped me over the years, and how no matter what, we always had each others backs. I will miss you holding me and kissing me on the head while reassuring me everything was going to be okay. I hope you watch over me, and let me know you're there. I can feel your presence often, and it keeps me going. I will promise to always cherish our bond, and the love and friendship we share. I will keep on truckin for the both of us. You were always so proud of me, and that makes me try harder when I want to hide away. I swear Melissa you are an angel. You lived every moment of your life, and Im so glad I had the chance to spend a lot of those moments with you! I will help watch over your mom and dilly, I know that you would want that. I will make sure jeremy and cooper always know how much you and Mya love them. I will enjoy the rest of my time here, missing you like crazy, thinking of you when it rains, and waiting for the day that I will see you again. There is no one like you Miss, you truly are one of a kind and the world lost out on a great woman and friend. I will always love you. Always always always and forever and ever and ever!!
Love you always,
jilly

Missy,

I met you in middle school and back then you always had the biggest smile. I see from all of your pictures your smile has gotten even bigger. I know I haven’t seen you in years but I see you have lived life to the fullest. Even though it’s been forever since I’ve seen you, I will still miss you.

Heaven is defiantly a brighter place now. Say hi to my brother for me.

My prayers are with your family. God Bless.

Missy,

I know that heaven just got a whole lot more interesting. I wish I would have been able to tell you thank you for always being a friend! During this tragic time we have to remember that "Life isn't measured by the breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away." I find comfort in knowing you always lived your life to the fullest. You will be greatly missed. I pray for peace for you and your family and friends. Until we meet again my friend!

XOXO,

Missy,

Writing to you is probably the toughest for me to do (that’s my excuse for procrastinating this time)… Everything still seems so surreal. I have to admit that I felt closer to you than my own sisters at certain points in my life, and I love your family as if they are my own. You always threw fun little obstacles my way that made the moment so memorable, and it never failed, we always looked back and laughed no matter how mad each of us were at the time… For instance, when you held my luggage captive and I missed my flight - - oddly so, I love you for that. You left so many memories with so many people; it’s absolutely amazing how your infectious personality touched so many lives.

“Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves a memory no one can steal.”

The people who are truly unfortunate are the ones who never knew you. All of us are very blessed to have loved you and your memory will live on.

I love you, Missy and can’t wait until we meet again.

Missy,
From the moment I met you I knew you were special. You were one of the very few people that I knew that I could count on to be there for me and my family. The children in our family loved you and looked up to you. I admire the way you always saw the positive in everything. I thank you for trying to keep my brothers in line - very hard task to do mind you. We will always remember you and smile when we do.

Since the day I met you Missy you always made me smile. You were always so thoughtful & sweet. I appreciated your honesty & sincerity. I miss your hugs, laughs & your smiles. Over the past 10 years you helped me in so many ways & I will never forget you. I am so proud of you & inspired by the things you accomplished in your life & how you took such good care of the people in your life. I hope you can look down on me & see how you have inspired me, even in your passing. You helped me to be a stronger & better person. Thank you. I will cherish every memory & thought I have of you & I look forward to seeing you in my next life. I miss you so much & love you dearly my friend.

For all of those who knew Missy know what an amazing person she was. There was never a dull moment when Missy was around. She always put a smile on my face, whether I seen her from afar or talked to her on the phone. There was nothing like being in her presence though. Missy knew how to love and for that so many people loved her! Missy, you will be missed so very much. And to the family and Mya's, my heart goes out to you all so dearly. Know that they are in a better place now and they can't hurt anymore. They are now our angels working for God, watching over us.

Love you girl!

Well well well as I sit here thinking of words to say and scrolling through previous entries this website has locked up 3 times now from all the out-pouring of love put on these pages. I have to say this is the largest guest book I have seen yet!! It shows how much of a wonderful life you lived and how many peoples hearts you touched. To me that is the ultimate definition of LIFE. Your spirit on earth was as great as I'm sure your afterlife will be. You impressed me the moment I met you with your spark for life. Here I would like to tell you to rest in peace but restful and peaceful were never words I would use to describe you! So my dear friend may you do all the things in your afterlife that you couldnt do here on earth and may your soul carry on its true self and infect all those angels and other souls with your vivacity for LIFE!! Love you and until we meet again....

Melissa I will miss calling you with Gennifer late nights to sing you crazy songs we would here on the radio late at night. Even after I moved to Illinois I managed to call you while I was down to sing to you with Gennifer. I am so glad for the times we got to spend we always had so much fun. I will say you had this way about you that just sucked everyone im sure it was that big smile. I know that your in heaven driving everyone crazy because that's just who you. You will be missed and I know many missing you. Thanks for all the good times. My prayers are with you and your family.

Missy, your smile is like no other, and a heart as big as the sky. You conquered where others would simply bow their heads and retreat. You are an inspiration to the old and young. I am truly saddened that I only had brief moments here on earth with you. Everyone that ever spoke of you, was truly in ah' by you. I'm not sure what exactly it was about you, but I'm sure your blowing the halo's around up there. To everyone, friends and family alike, I am so sad for your loss of a such a wonderful being. But thank you Lord for the time you shared her with us. GOD BLESS

July 16, 2009

Mimi,

I will miss you more than I could ever put into words. You had me at hello and you never stopped making me laugh :) I will forever cherish all of the good times we had and miss the moments that will no longer be. I promise that your god son Tyler will always be reminded how much you loved him. Your memories will never be forgotten and I truly hope you are at peace driving all of the angels crazy up there.

Love you always,

I miss you so much.

The memories of Missy are countless. It didn't matter if she had known you forever or if you were someone she had just met, she always made you feel special. She was a friend to everyone. She could lighten the mood of any room with her amazing sense of humor and her beautiful smile. She has touched so many peoples life and this is a huge loss for this earth. She will be missed horribly but remembered wonderfully. We love you Missy!

Their life was cut too short as they still had many more lives to touch with their spirits. These two wonderful people could always brightened up the room and put a smile on your face. They loved to laugh and laughed at life. The is no one who could ever replace them in our lives. I feel blessed to have known them. Rest in peace girls, I love ya!

Missy,

To die completely, a person must not only forget but be forgotten, and he who is not forgotten is not dead. ~ Samuel Butler

You are an amazing person, an amazing friend. You could light up a room with your smile and charisma; that is how I will always think of you. You made me laugh, you were always there when I needed you, your last words to me were "Thank you" and I just wanted to say the same in return, Thank You, Melissa, for being in my life. I will miss you. My love goes to your entire family, God Bless.

July 16, 2009

Missy I miss you more than words can describe. You were not only my cousin, you were my best friend. You were always by my side as long as I can remember, now I have to stand without you. My boys will have to grow without their "Aunt Missy" and it breaks my heart. We had an unmentioned bond that will never be broken & I love you...

Mike Truscott

July 16, 2009

Missy, I can honestly say that you were a true friend. You were always there for people when they needed you the most, probably late, but you were there. I will miss you more then you will ever know. Never good bye, but see ya later!

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Leanne

The past 12 years have filled my life with memories of your laughter, your smile, your wild ideas, and especially your love. You stole my heart from the moment we met and will always hold your place there. Time is a very precious gift, and as I reflect back over the last decade, I know how very lucky I am to have shared the precious moments I had with you. You have touched my soul and I will forever love you.

Laurie & family - my deepest sympathies go out to you; loss, especially such a sudden one, can seem unbearable. Just know that you are surrounded by people who loved your daughter and who are here to support you.

I am very sad for your lose. Melissa was a great person! When she was only 20 she was coaching my daughter's little league and she had NO children! I will always remember her upbeat personality and how she always had a smile for everyone.

My heart goes out to the family. My memories of Missy are from the Little League days of Lehigh . She was a heck of a ball player , and quite an energetic and fun little girl. Keep her memory alive, and she will always be with you. God Bless you.
