    Missy was always quite and shy. She and her whole family were kind and loving. My love and prayers go out to her family. May God console them in this time of their sorrow.

    Aunt Missie was an inspiration to many and a great role model. She was always loving, caring, and took the time to listen to others. She has always been there for me not only as a child and an adult but also for my children and grandchildren. Aunt Missie seemed to always make the simple things in life special and show others how to appreciate everything. She will be greatly missed as she was loved very much. I’m sure as the Gates of Heaven opened to let her in there that was a joyful family reunion.
