My your Family have peace.Our Creator will undue death forever.Rev.21:3,4.
Michelle was a character! So full of life and joy! She always had a smile to offer. She would always say that she wasn't perfect and didn't live a perfect life but she had made peace with herself and with God. My 11 yr old son would pester her everyday on her patio and my dog still goes to her door looking for leftovers. I know she's not there but sometimes I still catch myself look for her on the patio when I walk home. We loved her and miss her very much. She was taken from us all without warning but I know that her children were her most proud accomplishment and that she was genuinely happy in the end.
From the time I met Michelle as her Step Mother, she always called me "Mom." Over the 25 years I knew Michelle, she consistently demonstrated an Open Heart. Michelle had a heart for everyone she came into contact with. Michelle gave freely from her Open Heart to all, whether in need or not. She had compassion without judgment for all she met. If someone had a need, she would open her cupboards and give without holding back. She trusted that if she gave, only then would she have for herself. Michelle had a smile in her eyes and on her face for everyone that passed her way. This world is a better place because she came to give Hope. Her last hopes were realized when she had her four children gathered together for a family dinner on April 20th. She was Joy Filled watching Michael, Johnathan and Kimberly remembering childhood antics they played on one another, laughing and holding her first grandchild, Emory. I shall see that her last Hope is fulfilled...she wanted to make it onto our annual Christmas photo collage. Michelle, you are the star and will be duly featured. Heaven Bless You Richly, my Dear Daughter, Michelle! LOVE, Mom/Elizabeth Winter
