I was also comforted knowing you knew the same of me. I miss you and love you, my Chickaweena Pimento Head Sister, XOXOXO! I cherish every memory and will never forget all the years we were BFFs!

I'm thinking of you all the time, but with an extra heavy heart this week. Tomorrow is your birthday. Dad will be in chemo. Scott and I are taking David and the kids up to the beach (your favorite place) to send some wishes up to heaven. I wish we could celebrate the way we did last year instead. I miss you.

It's your birthday month, I remember when our birthday months meant the world to us and if we were lucky enough to have our day fall on a Friday or Saturday so we could spend it at the mall it was the best ever. I think of you often and can't believe you are not here. I miss you! XOXOXO

I am watching the Boston Strong Concert and Extreme just performed More Than Words. I remember belting those lyrics out with you so many times. I miss you! I remember during the part that says close your eyes and just reach out your hand, we would close our eyes and touch hands. We were quite dorky. I wish you were here b/c I know if you were watching you would have this same memory!

I have been thinking about you a lot. I am sitting and eating Jelly Belly Jelly Beans and am remembering the time you got a huge box for Easter. We sat there for hours biting them in 1/2 and making combinations and having each other try them. Then we were on such a sugar high we went walking circles around your dining room table for hrs singing silly songs. Miss Ya! XOXOXO

Missy, I was driving through Derry the other day and drove past where the coffee house was. I was flooded with memories and as tears streamed down my face I was smiling at all the memories. How many days/nights did we spend there? I remember coffee, poetry, music, boyfriends, and just being ourselves without a worry about what others thought! I miss you!

I was thinking of you today as I was driving to work. Extreme's More Than Words, came on the radio and I remembered our dance and how we would belt those lyrics out then touch our hands together. Then the Jesus statue you got me the day I got my first car (yes I still keep it in my car, I have since the day you gave me it) fell. I knew that was your way of saying, I am here with you!

I was thinking about you yesterday afternoon and Addie came up to me and showed me a shell (we have a million in this house), and she said, "Momma, I remember at the beach house I was sitting with Aunty Missy on the deck and I found this shell and I showed her and she thought it was beautiful." Miss you. xo

All this ski talk makes me think of the time you and I went skiing and we followed some boys we thought were cute. We were on the chair lift 2 or 3 chairs behind them. When it was time to get off we were so busy paying attention to the boys we forgot. The man had to stop it and we had to jump a bit. He then yelled at us b/c he knew why we were not paying attention. Too funny.

Missy, thinking about the time i took you and Colleen skiing at Bradford Ski hill. Colleen and I were frantic because we could't find you anywhere. Finally found out you were at the first aid house. I was so scared. You were laying on a cot with a facecloth accross your forehead. Thank God you were okay. I know your son David will be as good a skier as his Mom. Love you and miss you.Aunt

I miss you Missy. This past weekend David slept over and he and Addie dressed up for a tea party. I was telling him about how I used to dress you up, when we lives on Hickory Lane. We would get dressed up in our Easter shawls and run up and down and dance in the hallway. So many good, happy memories of our childhood. I love you.

I'm thinking of you as always Missy. Today I can't help feeling like this was all a bad dream, and I want to wake up now. I know it's been almost two months, but I still can't believe you are gone. I hope you know that you are loved and missed so much. You will *never* be forgotten. Emma talks about you every day. This morning she asked if you'll be "watching" her dance this summer. <3

You know, as I think about it, sending you to St. Mary' s High School was truly worth the tuition and driving both ways each day. Sending Ali there was decided by how wonderfully the Sisters and faculty treated you. They were the ones who submitted your portfolio to The Museum for application to the G+T program. Acceptance was quite an honor!

You guys are such a strong family! I didn't know Missy well but I do have memories of her and when David was a baby. I know she meant a lot to my mother and she is truly missed. I think about you all often and I love seeing all the fun things you guys are doing with David. My heart goes out to all of you! Always in my prayers!

Hope I am doing this correctly ;-).
Anyway, you had been selected for the Boston Museum Of Fine Arts Gifted And Talented Program. (a Saturday 3hour class). I was so proud of you! Didn't mind driving you in each week, and was so happy to surprise you with the drafting table to use for your sketches.
Miss you. Love you.

Was straightening out the basement, and my tools. I use your old drafting table as a workbench . I remember buying that for you. Actually saw a sign for a used "professional" drafting table at a house, ironically , next to The Fairways!
Table was huge. Had to disassemble it to move it! This was when you were a senior in High School. To be cont.

"Indian"

November 18, 2013
by Patricia Christofferson

On one occasion Paul and I were sitting with the girls and our Heidi and Eric, while Dave and Linda took a much needed weekend away.  We were all having fun in the pool and out, when Missy took my hand and asked me quietly to come with her.  She told me she had made up a song and a dance she wanted to show me. We went around the front of the house wherre she had laid out a blanket, and she put on a feathered headdress and wrapped a large towel around her shoulders.  She proceded to dance gracefully on the blanket  as she sung a song about the beauty of Indians and their loss of their lands.  It was quite lovely, and I was so delighted that she shared it with me.  I love you, Missy.  Auntie Patty

I remember when you were born Missy. You needed breast milk  to help you survive. i had just finished breastfeeding Colleen. You Mom rented a pump and I tried soo hard to retain my milk supply.  But no success. I felt so so bad. I only lived two minutes from the hospital and could have helped so much.  But your Mon and Dad , through hard work, accomplished supplying you with the breast milk. You were so tiny when you were born but you were a survivor and we got to spent 37 years with you.  I have so many memories of you and Colleen spending so much time together. Either you both sleeping over

at your house or mine. I always enjoyed having you. You were always well behaved and considerate of everyones feelings. You were very precious to me and I will never forget what happiness and joy that you brought into our lives.  Your son David reminds me of you with his loving and caring ways. Love and miss you my dear niece. Auntie Maureen

I am not sure what story to tell. Your dad asked me to share a few so I guess I will just pick one.

I think David will find this one funny.

I remember one time you and I decided for some strange reason that we would talk double talk and say everything twice, word by word.  We were at your house for dinner and we were at the kitchen table.  Your dad was getting annoyed because we were talking double and as always I was talking fast. He kept asking us to knock it off and what ended up throwing him over the edge was when he wanted you to pass him something, I believe ketchup and you said something like this "No no, you you need need to to ask ask in in double double talk talk." I was laughing, you were laughing and your dad not so much.  Maybe he will get a chuckle from this story now. It is funny how many times I have been remembering and they all put a smile on my face.

You and I did so many silly things together. I will post another sometime soon.
