Although I never met Missy, I feel a special connection to her. I have been told by many people who knew her that I remind them of Missy. I am a freshman oboe player at Biola just like she was. Oboe has been my instrument since age 10, and now it is my major in college. Like Missy, I am also the middle child in a three-girl family. I cannot imagine the pain of losing one of my sisters. I see how precious life is, and how I should never take the gift for granted. God bless you, Beltons. I wish Missy was still here.
