Happy New Years Misha / Kim Singleton (Sister-in-law) A million times we needed you, A million times we cried, If love alone would have saved you, You would of never died.
In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a place, No one can ever fill.
A light from our household is gone, A voice from our love is stilled, A place in our vacant home, Which never can be filled.
Some may think you are forgotten, Though on earth you are no more, But in our memory you are with us, As you always were before.
It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, A part of us went with you, The day God called you home.
Your precious memories are for keepsakes, with which we never part, God has you safely in his keeping, But we have you forever in our hearts

Misha, Happy New Years. Another year has passed without you, but the pain remain as raw as if it were just yesterday. I found this poem and though the author is unknown it is as if it was written only for you. You truly are forever in our hearts, which now forever broken since you said "good bye", I also know my heart is bigger and so much greater because of the time I did have you in my life. Your love and memories are a part of me and part of what made me the person I am today. I love and miss you. Kim
Happy Holidays / Kim Singleton (Sister-in-law)
Misha, yesterday was filled with such a dark cloud from your absence during this holiday season as every holiday has been since you left. Jason, me, and the kids picked out our Christmas tree last night. I picked something for you, it has your favorite color purple in it, after picking out our tree. For me I can't bare not getting you something for Christmas. I wish so much I could see your face once more after opening a Christmas gift and see it light up. Your mom, me, and your children placed the arrangement in front of your stone last night. I hope you like it. My heart feels more broken this morning thinking about taking your children to give you a Christmas gift at the cemetery. It feels so wrong and the pain and worry I feel for your precious babies can not be put into words. It is so difficult to not think the "what ifs" like what if I had said this or done that differently. Or what if your babies had you here to hold them and celebrate Christmas like so many children do and take for granted. I wonder and worry so what goes through Kayson and Kessa's mind and heart when they have to visit a cemetery to wish their mother Merry Christmas. I know they are hurting so right now. Please keep them close as I know you always do. Help your family guide and help your children as they are approaching a very difficult time much too soon. Please be with your mother. Her pain is so great and she trys to be strong for your kids sake, but her pain is wearing on her. May she feel you love and guidance through this difficult time. I desire to shower Kayson and Kessa with all the love I have to give, I only pray it is enough or even makes a difference. I miss your smile Misha. I miss your excitement during Christmas. You know your bother, Jason, is exactly like you during Christmas. He wants our entire house decorated with every Christmas decoration we have, he start playing Christmas music around the house right after Thanksgiving, and the joy I see in his face on Christmas morning while he watches Tyler and Samantha open gifts. Yes, he is so much like you were and I just now realized that. Knowing this with help me feel in some sense I am getting a glimpse of you through him and will defiantly appreciate his love for the holidays much more this year and the years to follow and see his excitement as much more precious than before. Your bother, both of them, love and miss you so. They keep their pain locked inside, but those of us that love them see it clearly. How I wish you were here to celebrate with Jason. Watching you both would be such a sight. I love you and miss you Misha and the joy you brought to our family. I pray you are at peace and believe with all my heart you are. I can only image what a beautiful angel in heaven you must be. Know that though you no longer are physically present, your presence is always felt in our hearts, in our family. With all my love, Kimberly
Missing you! / Michele Brandenburg (cousin)
Misha I miss you so much. I think of you often but probably not often enough. I wish I would have been there for you when you were having your troubles. Maybe things would have turned out differently. Noone knows for sure. I wish you were still here so we could hang out. I know we wouldn't sneak out any windows or anything. My memory isnt the greatest but I do know that we were good friends and I miss that. Time passes and things change so fast. I love your mom and dad. Wish I could see them more. We work at the same place still and I don't see her there either. Well till I see you again one day. Love, Michele
Dear Misha, you are miss and need so / Kim Singleton (sister-in-law) Misha, your daughter had a good day today. Time away with her grandma, me, and Samantha; a girls day out. She painted pre-made pottery with Samantha and her face beamed with joy from the project, the one-on-one time with your mother, me, and of course Samantha. Afterwards, we went to where I went to nursing school. It was hard and painful going there to show your daughter and mother the brick I bought to be placed as part of the walk-way and campus forever that said, "In memory of Misha Singleton" It felt wrong inside. It is so very hard to ask your daughter to look at a brick stating such a thing about her mother; in memory of. My heart breaks because your not here to make memories with your daughter and have girls days out with her. All evening at your mothers house she brought out photo album after photo album and was almost bouncing in her chair when she found pictures of you. She can't remember you but she misses and longs to have what use to be in those photos...her and her mother....her family. We all long to have you back making memories with our family. I know you always do watch over your children. But, Kessa is reaching teenage years so very quickly. A time when a daughter needs a female may be more than ever to help her through all those changes. So, I suppose right now I am praying for God to give your family the strength and courage to help her and be there for her emotionally even when what she asks of us is painful and heartbreaking. She is searching to know you in any way she can....through photos, vidios, our stories and memories of you. Your baby girl doesn't understand the deep pain we experience by reliving the past of the time before you left us. She needs and wants to have memories of you through our memories. I pray for your mother that she may have the strength to do what seems impossible at this moment. I pray all your family may have strength and be granted some form of peace as we assist your daughter though these tough years, years without you, courage to face the past with her so we can help her in the best way possible. There is no one that can ever fill your shoes as Kessa's mother. But, she must face life and connect with the other important women in her life because that is her reality. She is so angry, at what or who, we do not know. But, she is in need of guidance. Watch over your family and guild us in how best to help your precious baby girl Misha. Your mother hurts so. So many questions unanswered. So much pain when asked to face your past, when you were still with us, and how your left us. All of which Kessa is asking of her more and more as she approaches teenage years. All of which she needs to know, longs to know. A lot of this falls onto your mother and it ripping at her heart to face some painful memories she has locked away for a long time, yet knowing it is what her granddaughter, the daughter of her only daughter, you, which she has lost needs from her. Please, give your mother some peace. She needs all the peace, love, and strength in the world. I missed you more today and felt greater pain because you were not there with your daughter making memories. I know the closeness Samantha and I have and I wish with all my soul Kessa could have the same. I can spend time with her, love her as my own, help guild her, but I can not nor can any other replace you and the bond between a mother and daughter. I just pray I am there for her however and whenever she needs me. That if she is feeling a void that some how I am able to help fill it. I remember the pride and joy you had at being a mother and how excited you would get when you took them out someplace special or spent money on them for cute outfits. So, when I take Kessa out like today for a special day my heart aches because I know, I truly believe you want to be right there with her and sad, so very sad for Kessa because your not. I hope none of this has come off as mean or seemed filled with anger. Its not anger. Just sadness as I watch your daughter growing up without you, her mother beside her. Your daughter longs for a mother, her mother, and I know, I remember you becoming a mother. You loved being a mother and I kept thinking today how much you would have loved to be there with Kessa. It was as if I felt your presence yet was aware of the lack of your physical presence. I felt as if something was missing, it was you, and I know no matter how hard I try to bond with your daughter, I can never give here what you could have, what I wish so very much you were here to give her. Know you are forever loved, missed, and nobody will ever come close to replacing you or filling the hole created in your family the second you left us. I pray you were watching your daughter tonight looking through your photos and truly felt the dept of her love for you. With all my love, Kim (your sister-in-law)
Always in my thoughts / HEATHER OSMUN(Ashcraft) (FRIEND) You are always in my thoughts. I know I moved away and we didn't see each other very often but I missed you everyday. You were the first one to introduce your self to me at my new school. You made me feel so welcome and I will never forget that. You were always there when I needed a friend. I wish that I could have been there for you the way you were there for me. You were the sweetest person I know. I wish you were still here. I miss you and think of you often.
To Susan-I truely didn't know or I would have been there. I found out when it was too late. I was going through some pictures I had and found some pictures of Misha and I when were getting ready to go over to Becky Iseton's. We were standing in your living room. All I could do was laugh and cry at the same time.
You and your family are always in my thoughts and prayers.
Clara Belle, Your Belly / Mom (Her Mother ) Misha it is with a lot of tears and a broken Heart that I tell you about 40 minutes ago we sent Clara belle to be with you. I can't seem to stop crying. The only comfort I feel is the fact that I know I sent her to you. Samamantha said the other day that she asked God to get a room ready for Clara Belle. I told her that I was sure you already had a place for her with you. Love her Misha and let her know everyday how much we love and miss her. And if you would please, give her a kiss on top of her head everyday for me as I have done this for years......... Mom
Dear sweet mother / Kimberly Singleton (Sister-in-law) Though my mother-in-law, I truly hope you know deep inside your heart how much I consider you simply mother. I don't know why, but you are strongly in my thoughts today. I worry if today is one we often talk about; a struggle to get out of bed and face another day? If it is remember I am here for you, any time, and in any way you need my help and encouragement. You were a wonderful mother to you daughter, Misha, and still are to your sons. You have been and continue to be such a loving, caring, and involved mother for your children. You are in my thoughts and prayers today. I love you so very much and feel blessed and honored to call you mom! Kim
Still a forever unseen presence in your family's lives / Kimberly Singleton (Sister-in-law)
Misha, this is one of the most difficult times of the year for all your loved ones. I have been remembering and reflecting on all the good times you brought to my life to ease the pain of your absence. The pain and sadness of your absence has not faded over the years as I image it never will. I never had the chance to tell you how much of a wonderful and caring person I always thought you were. I admired how you defended your family in what ever way needed. I loved the way you showed excitement over the small joys in life...showing you appreciated every moment of lifes blessing no matter how great or small. I use to feel silly doing that and after getting to know you and see how you expressed such joy from lifes blessings (especially during Christmas) I have strived to be more like you and see the joy even in the small blessings. Thank you for teaching me such an important life lesson. I remember when Jason gave me my promise ring in high school you brought your friends over to show it off. You probably didn't know it, but that made me feel accepted and loved by you, which was important to me. I also remember when Jason broke up with me and you came over to my apartment to check on me, tell me you wanted Jason and I back together, and that if I ever needed anything to call you. You were always there for others, I only wish I could have been there for you or seen the pain you were in. I feel I failed you somehow by not noticing and for that I am sorry.You are so very much missed. But, you are still a forever unseen presence in our family's live's, watching, protecting, loving, and never ever forgotten. To my angel sister in heaven, I love you and miss having you here with us. Kimberly
