DIAMOND, Mo. — Kelsey Parrish recalls boarding Christy Miksell’s bus to head home from Diamond Public Schools more than 20 years ago. Those bus rides home were often accompanied by a toddler — Miksell’s daughter, Jacee.
In January 2016, that toddler was a sophomore in high school playing on Parrish’s softball team. On the fourth of that month, Jacee Miksell died in a car accident.
