Brenda, our thoughts are with you at this time.
Brenda, Nate, Kamryn, Kaylah, and Extended Family: We are so sorry to hear of Missy’s passing. Missy was beautiful, her smile like sunshine. Though we may not be there physically, our hearts are with you. We pray for God’s comfort and His peace.
I am terribly heart broken at the loss of Missy. It’s been many years since we have seen each other but I still love her like a sister just as much as when we were in high school. The world just won’t be the same without her sweet smile and laugh to brighten it up.
Brenda and family. You have our deepest sympathies for your loss. Prayers and hugs. May God help you thru this time.
