Misty and I were friends in middle school and high school. She was a sincere, gracious and a very attractive person who was extremely talented in acting and singing. I remember that she performed in many of the school plays. Not so long ago, we emailed each other through Facebook. I am very saddened to hear this news; my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

I went to middle school, high school and church with Misty. We were good school friends. We lost touch over the years, but I remember her sweet personality, wonderful singing, and her bright smiles. She was a special person.
My thoughts and prayers go out for you and your family.

I am so sorry for your loss. I went to high school with Misty, and had the honor and pleasure of singing with her in Occidentals. She was a sincerely sweet, beautiful person whose voice reflected her sweetness. She sang like an angel and now sings as an angel. Rest in peace, Misty.

I went to high school with Misty and she was always sweet and kind to me. I hooked up with her through emails back in 2000-2001 when I was in Colorado. I am amazed and very saddened. I will keep her family in my prayers as they go through this sad event this holiday.

I went to High School with Misty and not so long ago found her on facebook. She was still a sweet, compassionate soul and I was so glad I had found her. I am so very sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace and sing with the angles.

So sorry for your loss. I remember Misty from high school. She was blessed with a beautiful voice and we were all so lucky to have known her.

Misty was an awsome person and had a great talent in singing. I always looked up to her when I was a kid. She was a great Aunt. I loved trying to make her laugh-when she was down she would have me tell her jokes and be sarcastic to lift her up. I miss her much and will always keep her in my heart.

You are all in our thoughts and prayers. I pray that you will all get through this and know you will be back with her in a better place. My love to you all. Sue and Ernie.

Misty had a wonderful spirit, and was a very good friend. We were not very close but I treasured her friendship and always looked forward to seeing her and speaking with her. She was a very good listener, and much more generous of spirit than she may have realized. I can only hope that she learned from knowing me, half of the number of things I learned from knowing her.
I have a message from her on my voice mail, and I am going to treasure my memory of her smile and the sound of her laughter always.
Fred, I hope you know that there are many of us who knew Misty who are hoping that you'll find solace in that we also love you, even if we have not met you yet, because she loved you and we know that you love her.
May she rise to her heaven and find peace and joy and understanding too.
