Just wanted to say that we miss you so very much and asking that you ask the Lord to keep us safe till we meet again. We have your nephew, Tyson Steel, to keep your memory alive now as he looks so much like you when you were a baby.
We Love you!

Michelle,
I just recieved word from your grandma Terri that this journal will soon be closed, so this will be my farewell.
It has been such a sad year and this Christmas season will still not be the same for everyone. I have enjoyed so very much reading all the new posts. I enjoyed getting to know you through the eyes of those who knew and loved your closest.
I am sorry I never got to know you before. Sometimes life has a way of isolating you from all those you love so much, and I'm afaid I have allowed that to happen. So busy keeping my own head above water, that I missed so much around me.
I can still remember the time as a little girl, I swam in Lake Michigan with your daddy and he got caught by the undertow and was going under. I put him on my shoulders to keep his head above water, and I think it was Uncle Phil, who got to us just before I couldn't hold my breathe any longer.
I remember sitting on the shore and watching the look on Uncle Phil's face as he realized how he almost lost us both. It still brings tears to my eyes.
My heart goes out to everyone, especially your mom, dad and brother. We are never fully prepared to lose anyone, especially a child...I remember Grandma Felix, while she lived with me, always saying, "The worst thing in the world is to have a child precede us in death."
I love you Michelle and ALL your family.
Jesus will be back anyday now and those of us who know Him, will all be reunited and tears and pain will be no more!
"May God Bless Us Every One!"

Micky,

That's what we used to call you when we lived in Phoenix with you - then we moved to Michigan and you moved to Montana and I still think of you as that same little girl. I was amazed to see the beautiful young lady you had become, and saddened that your life was cut so short. I know your Grandparents and Mom and Dad and Kevin miss you terribly - I can only imagine how much... I have a new granddaughter and I know how much I already love her and my heart would break if anything happened to her. I pray that you are with our loving God, in his arms, safe, and happy....

With our love,
Aunt Viv and Uncle Brad

Michelle-
We are thankful for the times we were able to share with you as a young child, but are deeply saddened that we did not have the opportunity for the same as you grew into such a beautiful young lady. Laughter and smiles are brought to anyone that shares a story or memory of you! Our prayers continue to go out to everyone whose life was touched by you for the tremendous loss we all feel! Your life will always be carried on in memory until one day we shall meet again! You are loved now and forever! Aunt Bun & Uncle Joe Benton

Mic, I think of you a lot and I don't know how many times I've seen someone walking along a road, in a store, or somewhere else who reminds me in some way of you and how much I miss you. Steve and I were just talking about you the other day. I know you are around us all and watching over us (thanks for the email!) and I hope your family finds some comfort in that. You are truly missed and loved by many. Love, Sue

Michelle, I am your 3rd cousin in Carlsbad Ca, and although I have never met you, I see you are a very lovely young woman. I can see that you made your family very proud, and you very loved. I am disappointed that time and miles got in the way of me getting to know you, as i have not seen your mom since I was 7 or 8, and I am now 41. News of your accident came as I was pregnant with my first little girl, Rylee. As a mother now, I can only imagine how much your family must miss you.
I am confident that the Lord has you in His loving arms, and one day I will see you in Heaven.
I will continue to pray that your family finds peace in knowing that you are safe with the Lord.

Michelle, it's been almost a year now, and you are still dearly missed! I know you are looking down on us from heaven and bless us every day! Continue to rest in peace baby girl.

November 9, 2009

Today is November the 9th, 2009. We are fast approaching the one year anniversary of your death. At times we smile and laugh at the things we remember when thinking of you and at times we cry when you are not with us. We do so miss you. I am sure your life is beautiful and fullfilling now. And I hope you are keeping a close watch over all of us. Kevin and Annie seem to be doing good and Kevin's job cooking at Benji's is going really good for him and he is really liking it. Your little nephew Tyson is doing a good job of keeping your memory alive. He is 8 months old now and he reminds us all so much of you when you were a baby. Your mom says she thinks you are whispering to Tyson and helping him think of things to do when he shows us his little temper fits or when he is smiling at us. He has that wonderful spark in his eyes that we would always see in yours. Jon and Mel are also doing well. Jon is making homemade pizzas and other stuff at a small to-go BBQ shop and that is going great for him too. And your little cousin Jonathan - you would be amazed at what a wonderful little boy he is. He spends a lot of time with Papa Steve and I. He enjoys it at our house so much, just as you did for lots of years. He loves to swing and ride his trike. Kolby and Jason and Kerri are coming to visit this week. Kolby wants to go hunting with Papa Steve this year. They could not get time off work over Thanksgiving so we will be having our turkey dinner on the 15th while they are visiting. We finally got our ridgeback puppies. Kevin (Chico), Jonathan (Jukuda), Kolby (Canyon) and Papa Steve (the only girl-Yetta)all got one out of the same litter from Texas. They are really pretty pups. Not going to be little for long though, they are 15 weeks old and they all weigh between 38 & 40 pounds. Jason is going to help your dad and Jon put my Christmas decorations up again this year. The house really looked pretty last year and I am looking forward to the pretty lights again. I have been playing a new instrument called a dulcimer. Your Grandma Melhorn had one and she loved the music but I never heard her play it - not sure if she ever learned or not but we all got her a dulcimer one year because she liked it so much. Well now I am playing one. We had a fellow that lives in Paradise make it for us. He is a wonderful guitar maker and he did a beautiful job and the music is beautiful. I will be playing a couple of songs at a Christmas Show Room the first week in December at the University in Missoula with Rick, the fellow that made the dulcimer for me. He asked me the other night if I would play there at the exhibit with him and let the people hear the wonderful sound this instrument has. I must say I am a bit nervous and have been really practicing a lot. But I will do my best. I will probably play lots of hymns and lots of Christmas music since it is a Christmas Show.
Well I guess that is all I have to share with you for now. Please know that we all miss you so much.
Love,
Grandma Teresa and Papa Steve.

Happy Birthday Michelle -
Today you would have been 21. We had dinner yesterday with your mom and dad, Uncle Jon and Mel, Kevin, and David. Annie and Tyson were in Seattle visiting her family so they could not be there. We had BBQ ribs, potato salad, cole slaw, baked beans, and green stuff for your dad. Then we had coconut cream and chocolate pie and a box cheese cake - your favorite. Dinner went well but everyone was very quiet. I think we were all thinking about you and how much we all miss you. Mom and Dad and Uncle and Kevin went fishing in the morning but didn't catch much, just one squaw fish. Mel and I stayed home and worked on the yard and I think I finally finished planting all my flowers. Your dad came out and helped me plant some last week and Kevin mowed the lawn, it is sure looking pretty. Papa Steve had to miss dinner with everyone, he was out of town working but he was thinking about you. Your Mom and Sue went to the VFW at midnight to celebrate your birthday for you, pinnapple Mai Tai. I haven't heard from them yet, don't know how they are this morning. Bet they have a headache! Well, that is all the news I have to share with you for now. We miss you so much. Please help keep us safe and strong and happy till we meet again.
Love,
Grandma Teresa and Papa Steve

Michelle
We think of you so much and especially this month as this is your birthday month, 6/29, you would have been 21 - a birthday most young adults look forward to. Let me tell you, it isn't as special as most make it out to be. Just another year older. Believe me, you had 20 great years and did more in those 20 years than most can do in 50-60-70 or more years. You can have birthday cake or coconut cream pie with your great-grandparents and all the family and friends that you have joined in everlasting life and your Grandpa Felix as he didn't get to spend much time with you before he left our world. So you keep all our friends and family happy till we join you in life everlasting.
Love,
Grandma Teresa and Grandpa Steve

Michelle, I still have a hard time picturing my life here on earth without you. There aren't many people that I allow into my heart, but you were one of them. I thought of you as a surrogate daughter and will miss talking to you, emailing you, and lunch with you when you were in town. You have left a huge void in your family and friend's lives and we all miss you greatly. There is comfort in knowing that you are in a better place and are watching over us all. I have a lot of wonderful memories of you and I smile when I think of you, even if it is through tears right now. My heart goes out to your family--no words can express the sadness we all feel. You and your bubbly personality were easy to love and hard to live without. I will miss you.

Michelle,
Words can’t even begin to express the pain that is in my heart.
Most of my memories of you are when you were a little girl.. you were so sweet.. you and Brandon always together….
Mickey and Brandon… what a pair…
These last few years, getting to know you as an adult.. has been very special to me… we were able to talk just like there were no years lost between the two of us..
I wish so much that you would have been able to come out here and stay with me.. I was so looking forward to it.
Michelle, your presence … your ability to touch each person you came into contact with.. . This is something that will last a lifetime.. a memory, a feeling that you gave each one of us, that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives..
I will always hold you close to my heart and will miss you each and every day…
I love you Mickey..

Sam, Bobbi and Kevin,
Finding words to say at a time like this, when our hearts are so heavy with sadness… is impossible..
What I do know is that Michelle had 20 years full of love and happiness, surrounded by her family and friends..
She loved you all so much.. she talked about you both like you were the closest of friends…and of course.. daddy’s little girl. Kevin.. the best brother ever? We’ll that is what she said..
She was so proud of her family…
Now she will be looking down and watching over each of you, living in your hearts and thoughts forever..
I love you all very much.. If there is anything that I can do for you , to help in any way…. I am always here for you.
Love, Mary

Dear Michelle,
It has been several years since we have seen you in Pa., but you and your family have always been in our thoughts. From what we read about you in our local newspaper, it sounds like you loved life! Our hearts are breaking for those you left behind and how they will deal with such a loss. You on the other hand are in a much better place and we can only imagine how beautiful and peaceful that place is. Please give Grandma (Arlene) and Grandpa (Claude) Felix a big hug and kiss from all of us. Please keep them company until we all meet again!

Dear Sammy, Bobbi Jo, and Kevin we cannot even imagine the pain you are in. How can you ever find the answer to the question "why my child?" Just try to cherish the twenty wonderful years you were lucky enough to share with her and everytime you think of you her, smile! She will be there always to protect you and watch over all of you. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. We miss and love all of you very much!

Love, your cousin Kim (Smith) Wolf and husband Doug, son's Shaun and Steven, Shaun's wife Jess and grandchildren Maura, Alexandra and Keanu.

I am so glad that I was able to have you in my life again this past couple of years. You were my sweet sweet baby since the day you were born and although time passes and families part you were always so dear to me.

You will be missed my sweet sweet baby girl. May you rest in peace.

Michelle you have given us happiness and laughter along with trials and tribulations for 20 years. We now will have many days of sadness and tears. We are going to miss you in our lives so much. That is something that we cannot even put into words. You did not make a choice to leave us as we cannot control that and we are so thankful that you did not suffer and you were truly having fun with your friends. We will be back to share more later. We love you.
