Mom,
I am thinking about you. My birthday is so close and yet it is another one without you. I miss you. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of you. You would love to see Jordyn right now. She is such a little me. Teagan is one of a kind. You would love her. I love you! Wish you were here.

LORETTA, MY HEART IS BROKEN. WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE THE TOTAL EMPTINESS IN ME. KNOW THAT I LOVED MICHELLE AS MY OWN DAUGHTER. SHE WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY THOUGHTS. WE KNOW GOD HAD A REASON FOR TAKING HER SO SOON.

OUR WORLD HAS CHANGED AS WE KNEW IT TO NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN. IF ONLY I COULD SEE HER ONE MORE TIME.

LOVE ANN

We sometimes think that we have all the time in the world to say " I love you" and all the time to make new memories. But sometimes something happens, and you hope and you pray, and you find comfort in the Lord, knowing that he will pass on the message just in case.

Chellie was on this earth for 38 years. And for her not having much time, she became some increadible things : A mother, a grandmother, a wife, a cousin, and aunt, and a friend to everyone. Michelle never met a stranger.

I can imagine her right now, she is up in heaven with Granny Lilly and Papa John talking ninty to nothing about everything under the sun. But that was our Chelly. She could make the saddest person feel so loved.. Make them feel warm with joy. She knew how to touch you in a way that made you never feel alone. And I think that even though her time on earth is threw, none of us will ever be alone because she is watching over every one of us in this room, and will be until we see her again.

Ive heard and been able to be apart of quite a few of the adventures and miss-adventures of my cousin, who I always called aunt chelly because it just felt right... And she had this spirit about her, and this need to always make people feel welcome and right at home.

My mom Brenda told me about the time she sprayed air freshener into the fan and blew it right in grandpa's face... And that was the thing about michelle... She could pester you, and bug you to no end, but you knew it was in good intentions...And no matter what was said, it was impossible not to love her. People like chelly are rare. Those people who walk into a room, and no one feels uncomfortable, and no one feels left out. I can remember her at the bilmar singing a judds song, then t,c and melody having to join in. Because life with chelly, you knew that every day was filled with something new in store.

I know that she loved her mom, sky sky, kevin, and baby Jordyn more than anything in this whole world. Everytime we would talk on the phone, she would brag and boast about how lucky she was to have them. She didnt know how lucky we were to have her as long as we did.

I know as she is watching over us today, she is getting frustraited that we are all crying and making such a big fuss over her.. But the truth is, that you could add up every tear cried, every hug given, every kiss, every " I love you" and it would be a drop in a very large bucket compaired to how much we love her. And deep down, I know she knows that. And I find comfort in the fact, that even in her darkest hour... she knew she would never be alone.

So on this day that we say goodbye, we can all rest assured that she is in a place where she doesnt hurt anymore, and in a place where she can do what she always wanted to : take care of all of us each and every day.

"You will not be forgotton, and no you will not be afraid"

We miss you so much aunt Chelly, And I know you are here with us. I love you forever and always
