To the Family: 2 Corinthians 5:8; We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. My heartfelt sympathy, prayers, precious memories and love to each of you.

Dear Michelle,
It's been one day since we celebrated your homegoing and what a beautiful homegoing it was. I pray the angels smile on you as they welcome you with open arms. Tears cannot express the love we have for you but God will wipe each tear, he promised. Memories are like petals of each rose on that day,your smile imprinted in our hearts. The trips we took all over, the van parties, the celebrations in the country, the water balloon fights, the paper fights as children with the neighborhood kids and many many more memories are ways we remember you. The times we all gather and go to church and then go eat everything while you harassed the people in the restaurants. I will miss your being here, but you live in spirit each day with me. I will forever love you, my sister.
