We were barely eighteen when we met in upstate New York, you taught me what an unconditional, loving friendship looked like and I will always be grateful for that. You always lit up the room with your smile and your humor. I pray that you knew how much you are, were, and always will be adored. Our dreams on this earth were cut short, but always know that I will carry you with me, my little ball of sunshine! Thunder Road!
Forever yours,
Carol Jean
Sending love and prayers to Dave, Beth, Brian, and those adorable boys, I mean men! Love you!

Dear Brian, Max and Family,
We are so very sorry about Michelle. When I think of her, I immediately think about how she made me laugh every single time I talked to her. The kind of quick wit she had was rare, and a true testament to how incredibly smart she was. I always told her that her brain processed thoughts a million miles a minute, and because of that, she was lightning quick with her humor. She was a bright spot for me and could make the most solemn moments bearable with a laugh. I will always think of her this way. May God wrap you all in His love and peace and help you turn to Him and each other during this time and always.
Our Deepest Sympathy and Love,
Judi, Bill, Jake and Abby
