All Condolences -

Missy, everytime I open my front door, or go outside, I always look up @ the sky to heaven. It''s been almost 2 months now since you left us. I miss you, your beautiful smile, your happiness, your positive outlook on life, & most of all your love, worry, & concern for others. This hurts tremendously! I will never forget the times we had @ Camp Penuel, or the activities, trips, & fun we had with McKean County C.A.R.E. For Children. I love you & miss you always!

My best friend for almost 25 years. We have been threw so much together. From high to getting into a little trouble at the park in Bradford to the skating rink to just hanging out. You shared your dad with me when I couldn’t see my own. You drove to Florida to bring me and my kids home. You were my true ride or die. All these years of friendship and we only bumped head 1. I messaged 2 nights before losing you and told you I’m here if you needed me. I’m not a pusher but I wish I would have you might still be here. I love and miss you so much my in biological sister/ best friend. Save my place with you. Remember friends are friends forever sis.
