Michelle was a great woman, who has been more like family than a neighbor for as long as I can remember! She and her family have alway been great friends to my family! My fondest memories of Michelle was her love of bringing the beauty out in people, when I was younger she loved to do hair and make up and she done beautiful with it! And she was always beautiful herself inside and out! Later when her kids and I grew up her pride and joy was her grandbabies! Hank, Sabrina, Justin, and Jeremy We are praying for you guys! I pray for strength and comfort for you all!She was a great lady and I am so blessed to have known her!
