I am shocked and saddened to hear of the loss of such a profound woman in our community. I met "Shelly" as a bridal model and left the shop as a friend. She helped me find the self-confidence that had eluded me for so long. My prayers are with you all in this difficult time.

Words in a guest book cannot convey how much Michelle has impacted my life! It is because of her life that my relationship with God has strength, definition and passion. It was during my years of knowing Michelle that have defined my callings in life and for that I will always hold close my memories with her.
Praying for each of you and asking for her joy, grace, peace and courage go with you as you take each step.
Love,
Nancy
