Sending you my all my best and gratitude for your kindness long ago.

But I will always have fond memories and admiration, you were a good friend, stood by with integrity and loyalty to those you cared for and your convictions. Much light and blessings wherever you are. Regards from Santiago, Chile. - Posted by: Kylene (Classmate and high school friend) on: Oct 19, 2012

Missy and I grew up together going to Churchill. She was my best friend and also my first bandmate. She was an amazing person and an amazing friend. We went through lots of journeys and different life phases together, and although had lost touch throughout the years, I always remember seeing her with a big smile. She was a proud aunty and momma to her 'babies' and magically last year in Edmonton when we ran into each other it was like we had not missed a beat. It is with great sadness that I will not have another run in with my dear friend! She will truly be missed! I love you Missy! Thank you for being a part of my life and blessing me with your friendship! - Posted by: Karyn Broadfoot-Walters (Friend/Band Mate) on: Aug 16, 2012
