Vern & Dollie: I was devastated to hear of Missie's passing and my heart goes out to you both, as well as to her other family members and to her host of friends. I will forever remember my friend and her wonderful laugh - she brightened my life these last several years and I will never forget her.
I talked with several other friends yesterday and today, some who knew about the accident and some who did not. I will share the information about services with all of them.
I'm sorry I will not be able to attend the services. My health keeps me from many things these days but my thoughts and prayers will be with you as we all say "goodbye" to our beloved friend, your wonderful daughter. May God bless and keep you. Love to you both - JC.

I am so sorry for the loss of Missie. I got to meet her last year at Ray & Dixie's. I liked her right off the bat! She was a wonderful kind & generous person. May God be with you at this difficult time. She will be missed.

Missy will be missed by many. She was an amazing woman who was there for me and the girls for so many things! The girls adored her and your family and always looked forward to seeing her.
Take care of each other, my thoughts and prayers are with you. We all have one more angel looking down upon us from above.
