Todd: When I saw you at Rockahock this past weekend, my heart just broke. I had no idea that Michelle was taken away from this nasty disease. I know she loved you and Selena so much and you were her life. May you and Selina always have each other and remember the good times that Michele brought into your lives. If you ever need anything, please let me and Randy know. I remember the first time I met you, Michelle and Selena. My granddaughter was visiting from Texas. Haley and Selena became friends and you and Michelle invited Haley into your camper to watch movies. I will always treasure that friendship. The girls were about 5 years old.

I have not seen Michelle in years, about a month ago she came into where I work she told me she has been fighting cancer, but her smile remain the same. My heart goes out to the family. I lost my dad last year to blood cancer, it ripped y heart out. So I can only imagine how the family feels.
I went to Highland Springs High School with her, she was a fun person to be with.
Wendy if you need to talk, I'm here!

To Michelle's Family,
I went to school with both Todd and Michelle and have had the pleasure to run into them and their family from time to time mostly at the cheering competitions. I will greatly miss seeing her and talking about old times from high school. She was a really great person and I wish I could have stayed in touch with her even more. I will think of her and the family are in my thoughts and prays. Sorry I couldn't make it to the funeral.

Perrin Family,
Please accept my most heart felt condolence. Michelle was such a beautiful soul. I will, as well as, the VA Premier Family will truly miss her dedication, smile and laughter. The beauty of Michelle is what you see is what you get. Michelle was as real as they come, no guessing about her position or take on any situation. Truly a class act and definitely one of a kind. May God Bless each and everyone of you and may peace find its way to your hearts.
Sincerely,
David

To the Perrin Family,
I had the pleasure of having Michelle in my life for nearly six years. Working under her direct supervision for 4+. Michelle's spirit was like no other as well as her compassion. I will always cherish the relationship I had with her especially outside of work. I keep with me the many talks of solace I received from her always presenting things in a different light :)
Todd and Selena, Michelle fought a good fight and has gone home. I will continue to keep you and your family uplifted in prayer always.
Many blessings to you and my sincerest condolences.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Michelle entered my life more than 15 years ago. I was finally able to meet her when I started working with her sister Wendy.
She always went out of her way to help when a problem came about.
Her smiles and laughter will always be remembered. She will be dearly missed.
I was very blessed to have had her in my life.

Michelle has touched alot of peoples lives over the years and she will dearly be missed. If we can do anything for anyone please contact us. When our father passed away in May, Michelle was there to help us with our grief and so we offer the same. We share with you our saying:
Your family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same,

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time..God Bless Michelle for her love and courage in life, She is now home...safe in the Lords arms....
. . GOD'S GENTLE TOUCH . . .
We all have our dreams,
We all have our prayers;
But God has the answers,
If we trust that He’s there.
In the grand scheme of life,
In the wondering why;
There isn’t a thing,
That God won’t supply.
When heartache is constant,
And tears fall like rain;
Our Father knows always,
The depth of our pain.
Reach out to Him,
When all seems too much;
Be healed by the love,
Of God’s gentle touch.

There are no words that I can say that will make it any better. Michelle was a great friend and Brooke and I are going to miss her so much.

Todd & Selena:
I met Michelle when Selena started school in the same (K) class with my son. Michelle seemed to be super Mom she was ALWAYS there for Selena and loving every second of it. As the years have passed and our kids have grown Michelle has always been by Selena's side loving and supporting her. I will remember Michelle as a wonderful Mom that adored her daughter and loved her husband. May God bless you and help you at this difficult time.

Warm summer sun,

Good night, dear heart,

To the family,
You have my deepest sympathy. Michelle was a very good friend to so many people and was so easy to get along with. She was always willing to help others. She loved Selena and Todd with all of her heart. Now she is up in heaven, but she will always be here with you. Always remember the good times you shared with her. She really fought as hard as she could to stay strong! Please let me know if there is anything you need. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. You took excellent care of her over the past year as she went through way too much suffering...she was definitely too youg to go, but she is in a better place with no more pain! Michelle was surrounded by so many family members and people that loved her here on earth. Now, she will be your guardian angel shining down on you from heaven! May God be with you in the difficult days ahead. Love,
