Anyway:



Missy’s mom had occasion to visit Spencer and Missy in New York and shared the following:

"I have three tattoos... The newest one is a hummingbird on my shoulder. It's for my Aunt who died of cancer a few years ago, who has done nothing but support  my creative side. She was the reason my life has changed for the better."
