Oh dear Michelle! I'm so sad that you're gone before I made the chance to talk with you again. I was so glad that I did talk with you last year and reconnect after many many years and hear your beautiful bass voice! There were so many people that loved you and had such fun memories of you, and missed you. I loved coming to your house after school in high school and eating your grandma's chicken and dumplings! I always felt so at home there! I hope your last days were not terrible. I look forward to seeing you in heaven! Rest in peace dear sister

I will miss you my best friend and sister in law. God surely greeted you with arms open when you passed on to heaven. Our marathon Monday talks will be with me forever. Dave, thank you for making her final wishes your greatest love and concern and love and condolence to you. Jeremy and Rhi, I will help make sure Henry, Harry, and Maggie remember the grandmother that so loved them.
