The world has lost a beautiful, fun, kind and caring person. Heaven will be blessed. I am sorry for your loss. Missy always made me laugh. I remember she always had a smile on her face. And I loved her laugh. (I worked with her years ago at Principal Mortgage.)

I went to high school at Tech with Missy. She was always nice and funny when around me. I appreciated that. May God grant her and her family peace and strength while celebrating her ascension into God's Mansion. Peace be with you.

I worked with Missie at Wells Fargo Financial at the time that I was just out of college and starting my career. Missie was a great mentor who was instrumental in shaping my "adult" view of the working world. I was saddened to hear of this tragedy and my condolences go out to her family.

Dear Aunt Dolly, & Uncle Vern,
We both want you to know how saddened by this tragedy we are. God has truly received an angel this time. Why does he test us in such a manner. I myself have never been in such shock, with the death of Aunt Phyl, now Missy Sue. How much more can we alltake. She has so many friends & loving family members people you do not even know. Wayne & I have not only lost a dear cousin But, a dear friend. She allway's asked about Wayne, which she refused to call him Wayne. it was allway's Wayne Alan, & she let people know that too. Let's just remember her gracious heart & mighty strength. How she loved her family, put others before her. Now it is her turn to sit & hold the right hand of God. I can speak for myselfhere I have lost someone who was not a cousin but a sister! God bless us all for having known a great woman as Missy.
Honey you go & rest & keep looking down on all of us.
Love your cousins, Jakey & Wayne Alan
