I cannot imagine how much you are hurting but I wanted to leave a few words. I will always admire how Missy overcame her paralyzing fear of Public Speaking to become such an inspiring advocate for those who could not speak for themselves. She touched so many when she shared of her personal struggles, triumphs and love her for family - especially her son. I will always remember her smile and infectious laughter. She brought joy to all those who were around her.
