I had a very hard time with the month of May..not only is it is a special month due to our loss, but it is also Mothers Day and I miss hearing from you and I also miss saying to Nana...and then of course May 12 was what would have been my 16th anniversary with Ray....I wanted to reach out and I did ....this time I did it through prayer and the BEAUTIFUL memories. There are so many of us here that miss you and will always miss you, but as hard as it is to believe that you entered eternal life 7 years ago, I know I have to accept it. Now you not only have all the other members with you, now you have your Joanie and BILLY...give them ALL butterfly kisses for me and you are in my heart always my sweet baby girl.....love mommy mo!
With love, Gregg McClean Mace

Thanks to you, cuz Gregg and thank you Len for never forgetting Michelle, it is greatly appreciated and I am sure it pleases her.......I just wished you would talk to me, through this Legacy is fine.....but would be nice.."she was my one and only and your family was most prominent in her life which could help a grieving mother some peace......you know Len, you are now a Daddy, think of how I feel as a Mother.......thanks

Hi Len, and Hi Trish: I would say/guess it is "How I Met Your Mother" which had its last show in March of 2014. given Michelle's taste and Lens email was written Michelle's first birthday after the final show of "How I Met Your Mother." Am I right Len? Len are you still managing the furniture shop? Hope all is well with you Len and we all miss Michelle. Love, Uncle Gregg [email protected]

Trish (mom) Volk
January 17, 2015
Dear Len......I couldn't help but notice your entry into my darling Michelle's legacy. I was wondering if the show that you both enjoyed and was the end of it was ER? I know she loved that show with all her heart if you could just answer me here I know it is hard and you've never wanted to speak to me but it would be wonderful if you could let me know if I guessed the right TV show as I knew she loved that show as well as football she was a big fan I miss her so much but I only wish I knew what happened to her as I just don't believe she did this to her so I don't know what happened to her, as I knew she had future plans......Len thank you for continuing to knowledge that you miss her it means a lot I spoke to your mom and to your aunt and sent them some self fees of myself to see if they thought I looked like Michelle and of course they both went nuts saying I did LOL.please feel free to continue to write anytime you'd like I just want to know if I guessed the right show LOL take care of yourself and that beautiful little baby I hear that you have your mother brags on her every time I speak to her I hear she's very smart and beautiful congratulations and God bless you and your family and you were blessed with the most wonderful gift you will ever know just take care of her Len love mama Trish

My Dear precious sweetheart Michelle, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON YOUR NANA MCCLEAN's BIRTHDAY. I am so sorry baby girl that I didn't write to you on your actual birthday, but unfortunately we were coming home from your Ray's cancer treatment. I am writing now to let you know that I thought of you r birthday on the night before and all day long......there isn't a day that doesn't go by that I don't think of my baby that grew into such a GORGEOUS young lady and very RESPECTED E.R. NURSE that proudly served her community with excellence and compassion, only thinking of her patients......I AM AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN SO PROUD OF YOU FROM THE MOMENT YOU WERE CONCEIVED, BORN,AND GREW INTO THAT MOST BEAUTIFUL, IN AND OUTSIDE YOUNG WOMAN! Now you have been joined by your PawPaw Reynen and I know you were waiting at the gates for him and most recently your Nana. I got your
Precious gift sent to let me know that they both made it into heaven with all of you, yes shortly after receiving your Nana I received an adorable cat on the top of the garden wall on the dog pen side! Lol. The dogs were going crazy, needless to say I took him in, he was gray and very skinny. Thank you for that wonderful gift as I know I teas from you. Unfortunately little Gray passed away at the vet as even though he went to the vet for check up, shots, and rabies, he started to down hill when we left for Rays treatment. I lost him, and I am so sad I am thinking of going to get another one as I know how much you love kitties my Kitty! The weathered is horrible here right now, but as soon as it dries up I will be by to visit you with fresh flowers and to talk to you and mama Dottie, who is right across the street from your resting place......Happy One Day Belated Birthday, I miss and love you every second of the day.........we will see you and all of our loved ones when we are called home my love, until the next time much love from Mama & Ray , I know you will continue to watch over us love you my little Kitty!

My sweet baby girl.....I have not forgotten you. There is so much illness going on in the family that I haven't been able to bring myself to write and I ask you to forgive me for this. Your Ray is very sick sweetie as I am sure you already know as I have been praying to all of our angels in Heaven for the Lord to please give him a few more years with me as I have barely snapped out of the fog I have been in since you departed for Eternal Life. I do know that you are finally happy my sweet baby with now your Grandpa Reynen, Aunt Lisa, Papa Clarke, Hot Rod Granny, your Uncle Henry and Mom Dottie and Aunt Cindy and if I have forgotten any all of our family members keeping each other company in Heaven......much love to my baby girl just four years after your tender departure.
with the deepest love your mother

Dear Michelle I realize it has been a long time since we were in contact with you, however, we have tried many times to contact you and now after all this time we find out that you have been called home. Please know that we have thought of you many times and only wish we could have been more involved in your life. I wish we would have known about your passing so we could have attended the service. You will always be in our thoughts and prayers. We still have the many letters we shared and we want you to know that you will always be remembered in our prayers.

My precious butterfly angel, my most blessed gift from our Lord Jesus, the absolute best thing I ever did in my life was to become your mother.....I hope you know that you were truly born out of true love and the day you were born was the most ultimate blessed gift from Our Lord that any mother could receive....I sit here today on this the 3rd anniversary May,20,2013 still in denial and disbelief that you entered into ETERNAL LIFE, called up by our Lord Jesus Christ....you were the best baby, child, young pre-teen, teenager, and finally a most beautiful young RN, servant of the community than any mother could be so EXTREMELY PROUD of and I am still as proud of you the day your precious Nana and I watched you dedicating your life to the community as a most caring, sympathetic, empathetic nurse that one could wish for. Darling, I do not know why you were called upon by our Savior at such a young tender age, but it is not for me to ask, but that is one of the hardest things I can do....you are on my mind every moment of every day of my life....I know you didn't want to bother me once you knew I finally found Fay, however he loved you more than I think you will ever know, even though Ray never got to see you much as neither did I once you devoted your life to nursing and moved away to New Jersey, but he tried to do everything he could do to help you make your dreams of becoming an excellent nurse come true....." IF ONLY", Ray and my favorite sayings, we had known you were suffering so, honey we would have done anything possible to bring you home to Missouri to be close to us where could help you more than we were able being so many agonizing miles away from us. I still cannot believe that you are no longer here on earth with us and my loss of my precious baby girl has left a huge hole in my heart and soul, especially since I had not seen my gorgeous daughter in a year and a half before you were called up by our Lord Savior, Jesus Christ....I can remember how everything played out on my mind once I received that call from your charge nurse....my life will forever more have a sadness that I will never get over. I know my precious sweet that you want us to be happy and carry on, but that is just something that I try to work on every day, bit seems impossible since I lost you.....my only comfort is knowing that you are no longer suffering from the torment you went through.., I only wished He had taken me instead of my sweet, most kind hearted baby girl...you never caused me any problems, you accepted the lice we were dealt and always occupied yourself from a very young baby, content and as happy as one could ever expect. You left a lot of broken hearts when we heard of our loss, I could not even bring myself to speak to anyone for at least a year after you were called up to heaven! I am so very happy that you got to spend time with your Nana and helped your aunt Joan plan her best birthday ever, her 80th.....I am also so sorry that I wasn't able to be there as it was only 3 short months after that wonderful time that you were taken from us. I also know that you were not expecting to be called up to heaven as you were making plans to go back and visit Sequim, Washington again and that you were also planning to spend your birthday with your darling Godchild, Lindsey to celebrate your birthdays together and to also spend time with your precious Grandma Lena as you loved them so.....I know that I cannot continue to be selfish in wanting you back here on earth with us, but we know that you are here with us daily and will live on in our hearts and souls forever. I guess the lowest blow to me other than my deep loss was when I was told I would not even get to view my sweet angel, but I can never forget those beautiful big rose bud lips, gorgeous big blue eyes and mostly that angelic porcelain skin as soft as the day you were born, these my baby girl are memories that NOBODY can ever take away from me. I feel I will never truly know what happened to you my baby until the Lord calls upon me and then once I reach our beautiful Heaven I pray you will be waiting at the gates for me to throw my arms around you and have that fantastic mother/daughter kind of love that eluded us for so many years due to life's events....please just know how very very deeply you are loved and missed by all of those that knew the real sweetheart that we all knew...I was so proud of you on so many ways and I could not believe until after speaking to your true real friends how very much you took after me and I didn't even know it......I don't think you knew how very special you truly were and I was told by the last nurse you worked with and shared a locker with, who had much more experience as a nurse than you did that "she wished she could only one day be HALF THE NURSE YOU WERE", a fantastic compliment and I want you to know baby that she adopted all of your kitties and although they miss you greatly, they are being well taken care of, what a comfort to me and I know that you are looking down upon us and helping us to keep your little Nana, whose mind stopped the year of 2010....and I also know you are blessing Grandma Lena, Lindsey, Joanie, Lance, Billy, your step daddy Ray, Aunt Dookie, your Daddy and all of your family and friends...most of all sweetheart, I know you are the only reason that I have made it through these last very long three years.....you love and blessings have brought me back from many illnesses since you entered into eternal life with our Lord Savior.....I will always love you and I pray and know that you are our little butterfly angel watching over all of us and we so appreciate your love and blessings....give Papa, aunt Lisa, your hot rod Great Granny, your uncle Henry, Mama Dottie, aunt Cindy, aunt Liz and uncle Ted, PawPaw Marion and so many I can not even mention all of them all of our love from here on earth. When I get back kto Missouri I will be coming out to Place a very special spray over your head stone and also I will be filling your two vases with gorgeous flowers and we will also be visiting and placing flowers on Mama Dottie's resting Place also....of we don't get to do your balloon release today, Ray and I will do it when I arrive home,,,, I MISS YOU WITH MY ENTIRE BEING, all of my love to my baby girl......Mama XXXOOOXXXOOO

My dear sweetheart Michelle, I miss you as if it were yesterday that you went to Heaven..I can't seem to go on...I try each day and somes days are good and most days are bad...I give so much thanks to Ray as he has held so much in my life together since we lost you, I want to move on, but my life is so sad knowing I no longer have you here with me....I too have dreams and sometimes just want to sleep all day as long as I feel I am sleeping and dreaming about you I feel as though you are visiting me....with all our love, Mom, Ray, Joan, Nana, Billy, Lance and many many more, we wil continue to glorify your life here on earth and miss you until the day we see you again and meet you on the other side...we did our balloon release for your birthday in Washington last year and so many friends that knew about it were sitting outside it was dusk and all of a sudden they said what is that and then they felt a warm glow and knew it was our celebration of your life my darling...so many people enjoyed your pink special balloons....love you much and I will say it over and over again, you were the best thing I ever did in my life and my heart and soul have a huge piece missing until we meet again my sweet angel, mothers love forever...

I am trying to get through the rest of this day...I wrote a long message to you from my heart..I was editing it and probably have misspelled so much as I can hardly see through my tears, but it disappeared from me before I could edit it...so I will just say my darling angel that it has now been two years since you have left us and I am still just as sick over our loss as I was the day I found out....I don't know exactly what happened to you my precious angel, but I visited you today and it was raining the most light beautiful rain, tears from Heaven and I wanted to let you know that what people say about "it gets better with time" simply is not true...the only thing that would make things all better is if you were here in my arms again..I would give anything to have you here in my arms....just to kiss those precious little rosebud soft luscious lips of yours one more time that was the most cruel twist of fate I have ever experienced when I wasn't even allowed to view my precious angel...just to touch that gorgeous ivory skin of yours one more time, just to see that beautiful gorgeous little face with those huge big blue eyes one more time...my life is totally changed forever and there is a huge part of me that will always be missing until the day I meet up with you in Heaven...I pray all the time, that you are sitting on God's shoulders and Papa, Lisa, Nana (that you never met), Great Granny, Auntie Liz, Uncle Ted and all of those that have passed before you have their wings wrapped around you my precious one...just to know that nobody will ever hurt my baby again is one thing that helps but not quite enough...I don't know why or how anyone could have been cruel to you, but Jesus is protecting you now my precious angel and no one will ever hurt you again. No one will ever make you feel bad again, you were the most precious, wonderful Daughter that a mother could ask for. You never caused me reason to worry or be angry, you were a blessing, the biggest and best blessing of my life and you will live on forever in my heart my sweet...I miss you more now than ever and just want you to know that I carry you with me were ever my mind may be as my body hardly carries me any more...I spent Mother's Day with your Nana and your Joannie and it was a precious but very sad day as we just grieved and grieved over you...I promise you that I will never ever stop until I find out exactly what happened to you my baby girl..because I know that you didn't want to leave this world and I know that you had a heart of gold, but no longer my love, you have all the love and happiness that we left here on earth only think about...love your Mommy forever....until I meet you precious baby girl...please don't forget to come to visit me when you can...all my love with what heart and soul I have left baby girl...
Two years since you have entered into eternal rest and I am as distraught as if it was May 20th, 2010...love and miss you forever darling....

My sweet, precious angel, your birthday has just passed us and I was not home to go and visit you. Ray and I will be visiting to set off your traditional pink balloons for your sweet birthday, I will never forget the day you were born, when I came around, I was told I had this precious angel of a daughter and then in the same breath that Elvis had just died....you were a very special child, one that never gave reason to worry while growing up and one so strong, however, I guess I never knew that inside you were unfortunately very much like your mom, I was praying you had become strong like your aunt Lisa, but instead you seemed to have followed in my foot steps in some aspects in your life. I am and always will be SO PROUD OF YOU, YOU WERE SUCH A SPECIAL GIFT FROM GOD AND YOU ARE OUR SPECIAL "BUTTERFLY ANGEL" WATCHING OVER ALL THOSE YOU LOVE AND WHO LOVE YOU, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN ONE DAY DARLING, ALL MY LOVE, MOTHER.....
