For those of you who know CAS-Iberia/Hanwei...besides Paul Chen and Barry Ross...Missy WAS CAS!!

Please click link to understand who she was and how she mattered.

She was beautiful inside and out, and there is nothing that can be said or done to ameliorate the loss that we experience as community...she was that strong and that committed.

She was a good and fine friend, and I'm real jacked up over this.

Best Regards,

Steven Garsson

so young, very sad day. please pass along all of our condolences to her family.
 
I'm so sorry to hear this. It says alot about the kind of person she was that she gave her life trying to rescue someone else. My prayers go out to her family.
 
I met Missy at BLADE a few years back. A good friend was unable to attend and told me to go buy the CAS booth, ask for Missy, and pick up some knives to review. She was as sweet as can be. Next BLADE I attended she remembered me & my boys, and stopped what she was doing to chat for a second. My condolences to her family & friends.
 
Sorry to hear about this, my sincerest sympathies and condolences, truly a shame and her presence in the community and industry will surely be missed. R.I.P. Missy.

I'm really sorry, that your dealing with yet another heartbreaking loss, Steven.

I sent you a link to a FB page, which was created in her memory, along with some amazing pictures of her. What a beautiful woman; she definitely lived life to the fullest.


Condolences and prayers to her family, friend's and loved ones. I added a couple of posts which were taken from her FB page. Seems very fitting from the looks of how she lived her life. <3

Lost trying to help someone else. She must have had a huge heart. Sincerest condolences to all of her family and loved ones.
 
Although I never knew her, or any
family or friends, I would like to
extend my condolences, as well.
One can clearly see that she was
someone very special to many people, and the kind of person that
will be truly missed.

Terribly sorry to hear this, and my condolences STeven...
We've lost far to many great BF members of late.
 
Sad day to hear she passed. Too young. She was out searching for a lost hiker (73 year old McDaniel who was found dead later).
