Shed those tears as we know we must at times like these, but remember GOD is in control. He makes no mistakes. Michelle's season has come. Precious memories how they linger. Michelle's taken her flight. It's all good now, she's in GOD's house.
Smiling, Loving, Laughing, at peace.

PRAYING FOR YOU

August 27, 2008

I don't know the victim,and surviving victims, but you don't have to know them to have a heart and pray for them, so I will do that for you all, PRAY, because we may not quite understand GOD'S timing, but he doesn't make mistakes, so please TRUST HIM! !

Heaven has received yet another angel.....when I heard the news, I absolutely could not believe that Michelle was taken from us.....while I deeply mourn her passing, I know that her life was one well lived and while we will miss her here on earth, she has joined her beloved heavenly father for peace and happiness forever, Miss Mi-Mi I will miss you always and will always smile when I think of you.... Robert and children, you are all in my prayers. felicia

TO THE FAMILY OF MICHELLE
TRAYLOR
Michelle and Robert were coworkers
of my husband and I here in Little ROCK AR., before they moved to OHIO , as well as friends. To the family I would like to express my deepest sympathy as well as my prayers. May God give you strength in your time of breavment. Look unto the hill whence cometh your heip, for all your help comes from THE ALMIGHTY GOD, and when it's all said and done
Remember Michelle
Remember Michelle when flowers bloom,early in the spring
Remember Michelle on sunny days
In the fun that summer brings
Remember Michelle in the fall, as you walk through the leaves of gold.
And in the winter time remember Michelle in the stories that are told.
BUT MOST OF ALL REMEMBER
EACH DAY RIGHT FROM THE START
MICHELLE WILL BE FOREVER NEAR
FOR SHE LIVES WITHIN YOU HEART.

To my loving aunt Michelle, I wish I could have told you how much I love you, and appreciated you more, because I really do. I wish I could huge and kiss your big cheeks, 1 last time. Now my chance is gone. I can only pray, and hope that you can hear me when I do. When I say, your missed by many, I truly mean that. I cant express in words how much you meant to me auntie, But Im trying, I love you, and you will always be in my heart, you'll never be forgotten thats my promise.

From one stanger to another. It is always bad to lose a family member to begin with. But to a tragic like this,we don't always have answers to. Sounds like she was a wonderful lady and may god make her a bright angel to light your path as we all know how hard it is but I think she would want her family to go on with life and she will meet you at the pearly gates when her family arrives. May god bless you and hold you tight in his arms of healing. You and your family our in my prayes.

Just a stranger with a big heart!

To my cousin Michelle "Peaches" Smith-Traylor. News like this hurt especially when it happens as tragically as this. I will always remember the times we shared growing up in Flint, like many I wish we could share one more talk, one more laugh, one more tear.... I really don't know how to say to you rest in peace; however I do know how to say keep smiling down at your cousin because your are forever my blood and I am going to miss you dearly. Love your dear cousin from Germany Larry.
