So so sad to read this news! We met steve and missy when we bought their home in Bluff Park.  We instantly loved her, and kept in touch over the years.  Our thoughts, and prayers with Steve, Steven, her mom, and friends.

I worked for Missy for 26 years and I loved her very
 much. She  was a special person and will be missed terribly. My thoughts and prayers are with Steven and her family.  God Bless

My condolences to the family. A loved one loss can grieve the heart, therefore treasure the special times spent with Missy-draw strength from the love of family and friends-and may God loving-kindness comfort you through this difficult time.
-Psalm 119:50,76

We love you Missy we well miss you Missy - We will always remember  your love of the gulf house may it always be yours!!!!!!

It's so hard to find the right words to say.... but we are truly sorry for your loss. We know that she is no longer hurting and completely healed by our Father in heaven. Your family is in out thoughts and prayers.  The Oncology unit

We were young and had some fun. I will always remember you as the sweet girl who lived up the hill. May God rest your sweet Soul! david...

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

 Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
 Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
 That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
 God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

 It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

 God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not  be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Missy and I shared some wonderful times, I have great memories of her and her family! I was not aware of her illness and found myself shocked however we know the Lord has better things for her now. God Bless....

May the family find strength and comfort that the scriptures provide

Missy will be surely missed - we have such wonderful memories of her over the years.  May God bless all her family during this time.

we only met missy a couple of times, but she left an impression we will always remember.  she seemed to enjoy life to the fullest at the beach house or with her family. she will be a wonderful addition to God's family in Heaven, back home again..

May your family draw close to God and see how He lovingly cares for you during this time of mourning. (James 4:8)
