Michelle, I still cant believe your not here. You have given me and my family everlasting memories. Especially to my boys keyandre and to " my moo~moo" as you would call him! As I sat and listened to them talk about the times you took them to the lake or all the times you came to pick them up because you said you liked to have them around made you the special person youwanted everyone to see! Each and ervery flower and plant you planted for me means all the more! My very special memory though michelle... When I came home and you had my yard and porch full of flowers and hanging plants for my birthday!!! I knew it was you right away! Only you would do something so special for a friend. we love you michelle kaeka. The Hoods.
