Missi was always full of life, and had an unforgettable presence. I am confident that she made an impact with everything she did, and everyone she met. Although I have not seen Missi for many, many years, she has never been – nor will she ever be – forgotten. I cannot even begin to comprehend the unimaginable loss for those closest to her. My sincerest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to Missy’s family and friends, and all those who knew her and have suffered this untimely loss.

Dear Donald, Jeannette, Stacie, Amy, Dylan and Bob,
There are no words to express how saddened I am to know Melissa is no longer with us. She was a beautiful child with a loving heart who enriched our lives as she grew into an adult with a most loving and generous heart and spirit. All of us who knew her were blessed for we watched her grow into the person she was meant to be through her struggles and triumphs. And although her life was short, it was complete; for the love she gave and received was real and helped her to fulfill her life's purpose and helps us now to remember what is truly important in life. I hope all of you as her family will find some comfort in knowing your daughter, your sister, your mother and your wife was truly loved. With much love,
Amy
