Michelle was my Dad's favorite cousin, He loved her so much that he named me after her and blessed me with the name Liliana Michelle Pecina. It's been 18 years since my Dad ( John Christopher Pecina) went home with the Lord and now his favorite cousin has joined him. Michelle you will be missed!!! We love you!
