    My sincere condolences to the family and friends of precious Michelle.
    We met in the 7th grade at Lipsey and remained friends for over 40 years! And tho we didn’t hang out often, if we ever ran up on each other in town or wherever, it was like a family reunion! She was the sweetest soul! Always smiling and always so happy and bubbly! Always brightened my day to see her and catch up!
    My thoughts and prayers go out to her family now, and in the days, weeks and years to come! She will be greatly missed!
    Rest in peace, my dear sister in Christ! And I will see you soon! Love ya!

    My heart is so broken at the loss of this wonderful, beautiful lady I’m praying for her family, her friends and every person who knew her because the void in their lives with her being gone is going to be big and hard to fill. Many prayers are being lifted.

    Words will never be able to express the gratitude and honor my family and I had to know Michelle. She knew my parents, as well as myself, years before I met her. She always recalled so many details of life. She cherished everyone and everything! My first thought when I heard the news was that I knew she was saved, therefore we would meet again! She was the most precious angel to my mother at Halo Havens, as well as her daughter Keely. Her grandkids are exceptional individuals and I know her entire family was blessed by her! It doesn’t seem real, but I know where Michelle is and I can’t wait to see her again!! Michelle thank you for everything you did for everyone!! I will forever have you near my heart ?
