I worked with Missy at Union Butterfield for several years. She was a good friend and I will truly miss her.
Hard to believe Missy passed. Doesn’t seem real. I, too, will think of her every snowflake I see. Or even a winter storm warning.. we always went back and forth about the forecast. I will keep your family in my prayers. Just know Heaven got an Angel yesterday and she will be looking down on those she loved and held so dear.
