Michele will truly be missed. She loved Brooks more than anything and he is so much like her. He looks like her, especially his eyes. His personality is always cheerful and carefree. He can make friends with anyone he meets! Michele will continue to live through Brooks.

I have known Michelle from working at Labor Ready. I am a branch manager from Asheville NC. I am sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful person that I admired very much. I know she is in heaven looking down smiling at us hoping us the best.

Dear Candis, I am so sorry for your loss of Michele, but know she is no longer in pain and with Roger. She accepted me as her friend on Facebook, and I so enjoyed her wonderful spirit and attitude about life. My prayers are with you and your family at this time.

God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be
so he put his arms around you
and whispered,
“Come to Me”

With tearful eyes we watched you
and saw you pass away
and although we love you dearly
we could not make you stay.

A Golden heart stopped beating
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
he only takes the best..

Michele will be deeply missed. My God comfort you and guide you during this time of need.

Dear Candice and Darren,
I'm so very sorry to read about Michelle. Words can not express the sadness I feel for you. She was such a beautiful child and her eyes just sparkled when she smiled. It is hartbreaking to hear of her leaving this earth. She's with her daddy and I know they have a lot of catching up to do.
Both of you are in my prayers.

There aren't enough words in the world to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. To Candis, I know and understand the pain and agony that you have endured to this point, watching your beautiful daughter slowly leave this life. I, too, have lost an adult child and know that you have the years ahead to mourn her loss and deal with all that comes with it, however, you have one very bright Star to help you get through those times and that is Brooks. He looks so much like Michele and I am told that his personality is much like hers. Darren, my love and concern goes out to you because I know how close you and Michele are and how you will have to go on without her. Just remember all the great times and many laughs you two shared. I see her in sunsets, sunrises, butterflies and all of nature. I am here and would feel priviledged to do anything to help either of you. God Bless you both.

Candice and Darren,

I am so sorry that we have lost such a shining spirit. There was always a smile and a hug when she would see you. Just think about how happy she is now. No more pain. She is looking down and saying, Look at me I am so beautiful and am whole again. One day I was down at MB just shoping away for some new shoes. I looked up and low and behold there was little old Michele just smiling at me. It was so good to see someone from home who was just so happy. But then I don't think I ever saw her without a smile on her face. She will be greatly missed but never forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with you now and always.

I knew Michele almost my entire life (since we were 5 years old). We went to school together, played soccer together,and had many sleepovers where we stayed up half the night driving our parents crazy! Lots of special memories with a very special person. My prayers are with all of you. Tracey Marr Carlisle
