Yolanda, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. While I have never had the pleasure of meeting Michelle, I do believe that if she is anything like you, that was a missed opportunity for me to meet an angel. God bless you and your family. RIP Michelle.

A Prayer for Michelle...
Lord God, source and destiny of our lives, in Your loving providence You gave us Michelle to grow in wisdom, age, and grace. Now You have called her to Yourself. We grieve over the loss of one so young and struggle to understand Your purpose. Draw her to Yourself and give her full stature in Christ. May she stand with all the angels and saints, who know Your love and praise Your saving will. Amen
Love You, Uncle Noe, Aunt Mickey, and Calista -
