HI- Has anyone been able to reach her cousin Moss in NY?
I know she was out of touch with him but he was important to her. I do not know his full name but he goes by Moss.
He lived in SF around 1994-98.

I knew Missy from her life in San Francisco. She exuded creativity and empathy. A kind and good soul who will be missed.

My heart is heavy tonight with the shock of the news and feel so sad that you have left us. You live on in my heart forever. I miss my soul sister and send you love across the universe that holds those colors you love. I am posting one of your works that you sent to me 3/17/14.

I'm so sorry to hear of Missy's passing! We were in the 'Missy Club' together. We have all lost a good friend. So glad her dog has been taken in by her kind neighbor. This is so very sad.

Missy was always kind, caring, and helpful. We met her and Goose when my boys went to Hillcrest School. After the boys got older, Missy and Goose -- and then Luna -- would stop by our house occasionally to visit. Missy's death saddens me, but she did much to make the world a better place.

Missy was such a sweetheart. She also encouraged and supported her artist friends. Laurie Culling is right, her gilded paintings are elegant and beautiful. It was such a shock to read that she has left us. For those of you close to her, friends and family, my heart goes out to you. I surely hope Luna is in loving hands. May you all be well.

Missy was a wonderful neighbor and I enjoyed seeing her and Luna walking about. She cared a lot about her neighborhood and I'll miss her.

My deepest condolences for the loss of Missy. I wish I had known her much better, but the little I did know her showed me her warmth as a person and her love for art. May you find comfort in this time of grief.

Missy always said "You are loved." She was a superb artist, her gilded paintings are elegant and beautiful. She left us too soon. She will be dearly missed.
