R.I. P. My prays go out to the family. I met Michelle at CDTA we was in the same training class for 7 wks. We laughed all the time, every payday go to lunch and get our nails/ toes done. Michelle was head strong & focused and you could count on her to "Keep it real". I will miss her and I know she is in Heaven advocating her position as a leader & Angel. I use to witness how during conversation she would cough and be suffering too breath. I'm sad she left us so soon but God has a master plan. I know she is at peace now & she could exhale. With all my heart I wish the family all the prays they need during this time. She is still with us and will always be remembered.❤

To the children of Michelle,
I'm truly sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. We were neighbor on Spring street many years ago. She was always doing somebody hair which was a gift she had naturally. The last time I seen her she had two surprises for me, the first one we pulled into the same church parking lot (praise the Lord) the 2nd she was on a motorcycle. She will be greatly missed! Rest in peace my friend. No more pain!!!!!

To Michelle's family: It is said that it takes a village to raise a child. I am so God allowed me to be a part of Michelle's village. A former Metro Star, who willingly helped me secure transportation for the children in the Performing Arts Camp, just a few years ago. Michelle was a true advocate for life and I, as others will mourn her.

To my cousin Yvonne, and Dewey:

To be writting something about someone you watched since they were a baby, mentored when they were a teen, watched grow up to be a beautiful, beautiful, young lady who believed in a power greater than herself. Is hard. Real hard. I just want to hold you all. The Lord will guide all of those who care for her through this journey of sorrow. I can keep typing, for the words are tears. I love you all.

Michelle was my neighbor for 4 yrs. Her kids and my kids used to spend time and play. I moved and we lost touch...my husband and I bumped into her at the grocery store a few years ago-it had been a long time, but she was sweet as ever. My deepest condolences to her children, I will keep them in my prayers. May she rest in peace.
