Now in Heaven
It's with a heavy heart to say, Missy (kaayborg) passed away at 11:10pm on Friday, May 11, 2018.
She did not suffer at all and it was quick. She was surrounded by me, the girls, her mom, and our pastor. We were singing hymns over her when she took her final breath. Hospice took care of her from there. We have been surrounded by family this whole time.
Missy donated her body for research. I will get her remains back in 3-5 weeks. We will have a memorial service at Vineyard Columbus in Westerviille, OH at that time. I will post more info when I have a better idea of the date and time.
She was my Wonder Woman and I miss her dearly,

Bryan, saying I am so sorry for your loss is obviously much too little to fill the hole left by Missy's passing in your heart and in your life. She was a ray of light and kindness until the very end, and we will miss her voice here.
Hugs, and tears and hope for healing for you and your family.

Bryan,
Thank you for telling us this very sad news. Missy was a special presence on these boards. Her warmth, strength, kindness, sense of humor, supportive nature, and love for family came through loud and clear in her posts. To say she will be missed is an understatement. I am glad she went peacefully surrounded by her loved ones. Her spirit will live on within us.
I know that nothing can take away the loss and emptiness you are feeling right now. I hope you find strength from those who surround you with love right now. I wish peace and comfort to you and your family.
Rest in peace Missy
Hugs and prayers from, Lynne

I just logged in (was off for quite a long time) and first thing looked for Kaayborg. I'm so so sorry, Bryan, for your family's loss. She was an incredibly special person and was of great comfort to me last year; so kind. Loved her spirit. So sorry.
