There´s no effort in keeping her memory alive, she´s completely unforgettable. She loved her family and when she found John her life was complete. Gone too soon-so unfair.

I haven't seen my aunt for many years until recently. She arrived in Denver refreshed by the site of her past home. I hadn't seen her for quite a while. She was fifty and I was shocked. She looked so much younger. She had better hair than me! It made me realize how much happier she was sense the last time I saw her. It made me realize how much I actually missed her. How much I'm going to miss her Loosing someone like missy is almost surreal. I didn't even believe she was gone. I have been told that I am very strong. Her death made me realize how strong I really am. I thank her for that.
When Missy arrived at my house my boyfriend, Charlie, just so happened to be over. I was prepared for the embarrassing stories of when we use to take bubble baths with head bands. It wasn't quite what I was expecting, but she proved her point. Charlie and I were walking across the living room she I introduced them. Her immediate response to his Hello was Charlie, you're very hot. He laughed and I blushed red. Im thankful to have left her with such a content memory of her laugh. Im glad she met Charlie. Im sad she never made it home.
Iv never felt a loss like this before. I am guilt because I am not sad enough, but also guilty because I'm too sad. I feel as though my heart is torn. I feel selfish when I'm happy but when I'm sad I keep thinking she would want me o be happy. I keep telling myself this is all part of life, death is life. I will never understand why she was taken so early. When she was so happy and pleased with where she was. But all I know is it was inevitable. It was faith. No matter what we do it is impossible to change our faith.
When someone you love passes away, there is a strong temptation to remember them perhaps a little too well. Misdeeds are forgotten. Offenses are forgiven. Only the most shining characteristics of our loved ones make it into the version of them that we keep with us when they depart.
Missy didn't just light up a room she lit the entire world. Her smile could be seen from every inch of the world. But even with all of her challenges, she faced the world with unparalleled hope and optimism. She was a stupendous Aunt to me, sister to my mother, daughter to my grandmother, and inspiration to everyone she met.
Michelle Lampkin will be forever missed and remembered. She will be remembered for her elated personality. Just hearing her name could make you grin. Her funeral was not to say goodbye, but to say good luck on an amazing new adventure. We have much to learn about living, she had much to teach us. I will miss her, more than I can comprehend. Michelle Lampkin was and still is, simply Marvelous.

I was just informed of this this morning... I am so sorry for your loss. She was always full of sunshine and smiles. Though I haven't seen many of you in years, I have loved each and every one of you as much as I did when I met you after Nikki and I became friends when we were 12 years old. I'm at a complete loss of what to say except...Heaven just got one AMAZING soul!!!! My love to you all xoxo Tiffany

Missy was a treasure. Cannot believe she has gone on so soon. We had so many experiences together from childhood until we were supposed to be adults. I love you Missy, and I hope your family can find peace in the fact that you touched so many lives. Rest well.

When she spoke to Benny she used the highest pitch. Every dog came running to her voice. I only wish she had more time with her family, John, Benny and the rest of us.

Missy was the most kind, loving and thoughtful girl I ever knew and I will miss her. I received many texts from her over the last few years. She always asked about my sister Nancy who had many hard times after the loss of our father, mother and Freddy. The Lampkin family "Toni" you were all there for us. She is now doing well and happy for the last 2 years. I only wish I was able to be with you at this sad time. Missy will be sorely missed. She left a legacy of love. Toni, Julee, Katie, Nikki and all. Please know she is a shining light and with her father. Take care and give my love to All??

Missy is someone who imprinted on all she met with her positive energy and sense if humor. Her appetite for life and love for animals was undeniable. My thoughts and prayers are with the Lampkin family and especially Holly and Toni. May all the joy and laughter you shared give you peace. In her honor I will "charge it to the room".

Missy was more than a light. She was a sparkler on the 4th of July! Missy was more than a ripple of laughter in a room, she was tsunami in the ocean! And if Missy were a candy, she'd be as sweet as Godiva Chocolate! I remember hanging with her and Rootarge, and between the two of them and their antics, the last thing anyone could say would be that it wasn't a good time had by all. I'll miss ya, Missy!

Missy Lampkin will always be one of the coolest people I have ever met or will meet. My life would absolutely not have been the same without her and she will always feature in so many of my most treasured and outrageous memories. But above all Missy had a heart of gold, I loved her and will miss her so much. All my love to her family on this tremendous loss.
