Shelby, I miss your face in the morning, when I always told you "you looked the most beautiful". I miss talking to you and you needing me for something everyday. Sometimes it was to discuss a problem you were having or just that you needed something new. Shelby was the light of my life. When she entered a room, she demanded attention. I taught Shelby that she was a beautiful girl who could accomplish anything and in return I got a daughter that was confident, loving, and caring, not afraid to stand up for her beliefs no matter who approved or disapproved. I checked on Shelby every night since she was a baby to make sure she was alright. There she would be sucking her thumb, and I would smile and quietly close the door. I did this until the last time I saw her. At 17, Shelby would say "Mom you aren't checking to see if I'm breathing, your checking to make sure I'm in my room". Maybe both. She was a lovely person. She always said "I'm only going to have one child Mom, she's going to mind and act proper" I just laughed and said "ok Shelby". I wish I could of seen her find the love of her life and have her one child. I just wanted to share a few things about Shelby people might not have known. I miss you Shelby and with each passing day, time does not ease my sorrow. I long for us to be together again.

Michelle, I love you so much, and I will always think about you! I miss singing songs with you.

Michelle, each & every day you are in my heart and thoughts, nobody can take your place or fill your shoes, seems like every song I hear, I think of you, I go shopping I think of you, I go for walks at night and ask the stars why you're gone and I wait thinking one night somebody up there will respond. I just don't understand how such a special person could be gone. Till I see you again, know that I love you and miss you so very much.
All my love, Nani.

There are so many friends and family of mine that have had the blessing to go to heaven. But Michelle is the most precious angel out of them alI . It has been almost a year and a sad one but from me I feel her here all the time. She is watching over all of us and the world in my eyes is a whole lot better because we have her to help watch over us. We love her and miss her and will one day join her. Life is good we are all alive for a purpose don't never let it slip away. Michelle has got our back.
Love Uncle Dave
I never knew Shelby, but what a beautiful girl she was. This website to her is inspirational. Her grandmother and I are cousins and grew up together. We had our first children very close together and spent a lot of time together when we were younger. Janice told me what a special grandchild Shelby was and how much she loved her and missed her. I lost my grandson, when he was 16. I know how hard it will be at Thanksgiving and I pray with God's help and with your love for each other you will get past this.

Michee, Ryan and I miss you always. It was hard not having you at my wedding to say, "you look cute as hell!" I always think of you when I invite someone to church because you always put up a fight with me to come but, you would always end up coming anyway. I know that you are safe now and I will see you soon, because the Lord's will be returning soon. I'm kinda jealous that you were able to go before me. I love you and will miss you always.

I remember when I first met Michelle. It was the first day of middle school, she was in my class. This was definitely very hard for me to do, but it needed to be done. Every time
I close my eyes and think of her I smile as I picture her long free flowing brown
hair and her loud and contagious laugh. I want to thank Ms. Bonnie and Mr.
Michael for raising such a vivacious, energetic, beautiful, kind, and caring person. I
am truly blessed to know her. Michelle defiantly touched my life, heaven
was missing an angel when she was here on earth. I love you Michelle and you will
always be in my heart. I'm sorry that I didn't get to say goodbye but I have the satisfaction
of knowing that you can hear me when I talk to you now. I miss you so much.
Nancy Hegwood

Dearest Michelle, Aunt Becky misses you every day and I can't help but wish you were here today to be with us.

So I just look up to the sky when I think of you and I say Love you Michelle and I know you hear me. There is a missing spot where you have left and it's a big one! I'm looking forward to seeing you again in heaven.

Hey Mrs. Bonnie! I never got to tell you this, but I'm sorry about Michelle. We will all miss her especially Jenna! Well, God bless you and your family! Love, Carly
The first Thanksgiving without Michelle went OK, but I missed having her come in and say "Grandma, where's the ham?" Every time we had a family get-together, that was the first thing she did, before she took a taste of the ham. Today, her Grandfather asked why there was so much cranberry relish left. He and Michelle were the ones who loved it the most. We missed you very much today.
Love, Grandma

I remember Michelle as a vibrant and energetic young girl and also watched her mature into a young lady who when she was around you knew she was there. I want to thank her mom for allowing Michelle to be a part of our lives and being a part of our lives didn't happen by chance God placed her there and she will be always remembered as our little angel.

There's too much to say Shell. So much I want to tell you, but it all ends to mean the same thing. I miss you in my life, now you're in my dreams. I love you Shelby.
Today marks the day you disappeared and went somewhere that I cannot go right now. Maybe that place is better for you because you don't have to worry about me harassing you, but let it be known that I will see you in the future so enjoy your time looking down at me.

I woke to look for you today, but you were still gone. I sit here early like always just thinking of you, I miss you so very much. I still ask everyday to take your place. I know God will not trade a angel for me though. I always try to be good person. So I know I will to dwell in the house of our Lord with you someday. I wish you were here with us. You are in my every thought. This will be a hard day for us all. I promise I will always be the best Father and Husband I can be. Oh you were so full of life you must have make even heaven a brighter place.
Your DADDY forever my sweet angel oh how I miss you XXOOXX
It has been one year today since Michelle left us to be one of God's angels in Heaven. We know she is watching over all of us. We love her and miss her very much and hold on to the thought that one day we will see her again.

I still am :( Man I feel like I could type to you for hours because I just have so much stuff to fill you in on.... like I'm in college now, yeah only HCC in PC, that's the only place that would accept me!! lol j/k. Me and you were gonna go there together :) remember? Oh and another thing I hope your mom and everyone read this too but guess what? I'm engaged to Shad now, were getting married probably next year!!! I remember you always telling me that Shad and I better stay together forever and get married, well now we are :) I just wish you would be there for help and moral support, but I know you will be in mind and spirit baby girl!!

Soon it will Christmas, the 2nd without Michelle. We will be thinking of her. She is always on my mind. We lit candles at the Bereaved Parents Memorial service Sunday night in memory of Michelle. It was sad, but beautiful at the same time.
Love, Grandma
You will be missed dearly!! I love you girl...
Hey girl, I can't tell you how much we miss you coming over to the house.Your smile your laugh made us laugh!!! and WOW your bedroom shoes too they were different. I miss you always calling me mom, I can't get Leslie's birthday party off my mind, how you hung with me so much.Billy says hi too. We just miss you so much. Your leaving that day was the saddest day of our lives. See ya soon, some day. Love Mama Sharon & Billy
Sweet baby, every time I look at this site, I cry. I cry for me, not you, even though I know it is selfish. Jo Jo asks me, "is it Shelby? Is her your friend mommy?". I say, "yes baby, she's my friend". Whenever I was alone you came to keep me company, I am alone now, but you've gone to be where no one will ever be alone again. Oh how I envy you that. So lucky you are to be with our Lord now. I hope soon he will come to take us all home. We miss you Shell and the light you brought to our dull lives as grown ups. There was nothing like your smile and your relentless teasing to brighten our days . I wish one more time I could listen to you tell me just exactly how many people sing better than I do. I use to want to ring your neck when you said that! How very honest you were. So rare that is (except in our family of course). What I wouldn't do to hear that honesty again and then the laugh that would follow to say, "get over it!". We miss you Shelby, we love you, we think of you every single day we breath. Remember to watch over us always, we need you.
hey girl, i miss you so much it is unreal. i think every time leslie and i talk you always get brought up in conversation. i miss talking to you and you telling me point blank what you think weather i liked it or not. i would just have to get over it but its all good because that's what you were suppose to do. you always did man. girl i miss you so bad. i would give anything to see you. but the longer i wait the better it will be when i do get to see you. your web page is very pretty they did a fantastic job. i feel when i am down and don't want to go to plant city i can just come see you here. well girl i will talk to u later. everyday i will be missin' you!!!!love ya forever and always
Merry Christmas Shelby. We miss you so much. We can't wait to spend Christmas with you again. We love you Shelby.
Mom & Dad
Well, we managed to get through another Christams without Michelle. It was the second year with rain at Christmas both days. We joked and said the rain was Michelle reminding us of her. I missed having her there with everyone else. There is a big void in our lives without her bright smile.
From Grandma
Today is New Year's Eve Shelby. To me it is just another day without you. I would love to say something inspirational for people to read, but to tell the truth; life just sucks sometimes. I miss your face, your smile, even your temper. I miss the feel of your hair and how hard you used to hug me. No one hugs me like you did. I just want you back. I can't help but wish it and pray for it even though I know you can't come back. I pray for you to visit me even if its only in my dreams. Maybe then I can have one true moment of happiness even if its when I'm asleep.
Love you so much Shelby.
Love Always, Mom.
Love Always, Mom.
Love, Grandma
Miss you...I know you're still with us everyday laughing at the silly things we do. God Bless and Keep you.

Hey Shell,Just wanted to say Hi and that I was thinking about you. I look at your pictures here and think "My Gosh, Could you be more beautiful?!!!" Everyone sends their love and kisses. Lonnie and Jesse are doing pretty good. Lonnie will finish taking his GED next week. If you help him out a little, I won't tell anyone. LOL!!! Sarah just went through a bad accidents on a friends horse on Sunday. She's going to be alright, but it sure was scary for her and me. The horse must have bucked 8 times. She blacked out just as she went face first into the arena board. Thank God!! She must of had you looking out for her. That's the one thing that's good about you being up there. We sure do miss you honey. Uncle Jr. sends lots of love...even though he says that he don't even like kids..LOL!!! He still misses his dad a lot. So give him a big hug from us. I'll write again soon, honey. Aunt Robin, Love, Uncle Jr., and Family

May The Dove Of Peace Fly Into Your Heart...
May The Dove Of Peace Fly Into Your Heart...
Shelby your birthday is almost here you'll be 19! WOW it's amazing how time flies. It seems like only yesterday you and I were making those memories that I'll cherish forever. Remember those funny videos we would make, the times we would play dress up, and all those times we would pig out on food. I miss you so much! I remeber times when I would wait hours for you to get home just so I could talk and tell you what went on that day. Now I carry you in my heart where ever I go and you are always there when I need to talk. I know how we use to call each other cousins, but cousins could never be as close as we were. You were more like my big sister, I was always looking up to you and I still am today. I'll miss you and I'll love you forver! Love ya! Jenna
Shelby.
Today you are 19 years old. Oh the dreams I had for you as I know you did for yourself. Now I daydream of what heaven is like for you. Of what you do and of how happy you are. I know you can't miss me, cause there is no sadness there, but I feel you with me sometimes in a breeze or just behind me; there, but just out of reach and sight. In my night dreams, when I'm lucky enough to dream about you; you are happy and loving to be with me as I am you. You don't know that you're gone though or you don't acknowledge it. You wonder why I'm saying how much I miss you and love you, when it seems to you that we have only been apart a short time. But in my dreams you are always beautiful and laughing and having a great time; just like when you were here. Happy to be with your friends and looking forward to whatever plans you had for the days ahead. Your true friends remember you Shelby. Not just on your special days when they take something to the cemetary, but also on their special days when they wish they could share it with you. They visit, they wave to me from across the street. I can see the people whom you truly touched and I love them too as I know that you still do. So many days I would love to be able to talk to you and tell you all the things I'm thinking and feeling. There are no words Shelby. I miss you is so not enough and time does not ease the emptiness in my heart. That space is and will always be yours. When I finally get to hug you, I don't think I'm ever gonna want to let you go. You're my sweet baby and you always will be. LOVE MOM!

Oh Shelby, There is so much to say and yet, no words. Your 19th birthday has come and gone. One day after my sons. It is always going to be bitter sweet from now on. I want to be so happy for him and know I should by happy for you, but in all. I am to busy being sad for myself. Losing you was truly the worst thing ever to happen. You would be so proud of me now, finally, I have left that son of a gun (that you hated so much) for nearly eight months. I know you can see me now but I try to feel your pride and somehow, it isn't the same. Boy, you sure would have loved to use me as an excuse to get out of the state and escape. I'm in West Virginia now. And I haven't turned into a hillbilly! I miss you so much shell. Nothing I do makes that feeling subside. I look at your pictures every day and it seems like they make me miss you more, but I still stare and pray. I pray that soon I will see you again. I love you Shell
All my Love, B

Dear Family of Michelle~ "Shelby" My prayers are with you during this time of your Michelle's 19th Birthday~ You daughter is so beautiful! Thankyou for sharing her with the world! I also have an Angel Michelle Marie who was born in 1984 and went to Heaven in 1993. My Michelle also had the nickname of "Shelby"! Please email me as I had a HS friend named Bev Hurley and wondered if this is the same lady from your TCF Chapter that I used to know! Here is one of my websites for my Michelle ~ geocities.com/michellemaries ~ Sincerely, CindyJo ~ John 10:28-29
You know it is really strange, when I am working in the yard I see many butterflies and feel your presence when they are around. They remind me of you blossoming into a beautiful young lady from a small child. You were always special and loved very much. I miss you every day. Love, Grandma 5/6/2006

Hey Shell I found out about 3-4 weeks ago that I am pregnant. I am really excited. If its a girl, I am going to name her Heidi Michelle (hope you don't mind). I really wish you could be here, but I know you can't. When I find out what it is I will let you know. Love always and forever. Valrie

Hi Shelby: These last few days have been hard for me. Nothing special about the dates, I just miss you I guess. I think about what you would be doing with your life and wondering what you are doing now. I love you shelby. I miss talking to you. I always hope to be seeing you soon. I know some people think thats morbid, but you know what I mean. Please visit me in my dreams where even there you are my loving shelby. Love Mom.

HI SHELL LOVE YOU SO MUCH!! NANI
Dearest Michelle, I think of you so much. We have so many butterfies around lately and for some reason when I see them, I feel your presence. You were such a beautiful girl and I am sure you are still beautiful. I think of you when I see all of the neat clothes in the stores when I go shopping. I miss shopping with you and wish I could do it again. Love, Grandma 8/1/06
To all the fond memories of you. I'm sorry your life had to be so short, but I am glad it was good to you. I wish you could have met my love Teresa, you would have loved her. Keep an eye on us Shell. Miss You. Always in our Hearts, Buddy & Teresa

Shelby, Hey beautiful... I just wanted to let you know I'm thinkin of you. I went to your house a couple weeks ago to see Justin. If it weren't for him, I would have never met you. I remember I used to call the house for him and you'd always pick up the phone...you were always expecting someone to call you. It never failed....my conversation with your brother would always get interrupted. You had so many friends. None of them I'm sure know about me but that's ok. They can read this and know that even to someone you didn't hang out with all the time you made an impact in their life and helped them. You always had the smartest things to say to me about boys. You'd always ask me how things were going with my current "guy". When I told you he was basically a loser or didn't treat me right you'd always tell me, "Girl, you need to drop him...quick!!" I always did....I always listened...because I eventually always found out that you were right. When I got that phone call from Justin that you had been in an accident, I didn't know what to think. I just kept praying in my head for you to be alright. Because we all needed you. I promised him you would be ok because you were the strongest person we know. Justin called back and told me you were gone. I dunno if you knew how much you meant to me...I know Justin has an idea. I have so much respect for you for helping me when you did. I just wrecked my car a couple weeks ago...not too long after I went to see your family. I didn't have my seatbelt on and my breaks went out. I know it was you that kept me from flying through that windsheild. Even though your not here your still helping me. I know your probably disappointed for alot of the things I do that I shouldn't....but your still taking care of me. I love you Shelby....thank you so much for being my guardian ANGEL. I'll see you when your ready for me.... Always-Ashley

Michelle, I guess your Grandpa and I were the only ones who always called you Michelle. Since I know you are watching over us, have you noticed what we did to your Grandpa? I am sure you would tell him about it. Recently I went to a baby shower with your Mom and Jenny. The baby was beautiful, but I could only think that if you were still here you would be the one with the baby shower one day. I miss you and you are always in my heart and mind. Love, Grandma
I finally got a chance to change the flowers today. Purple, your favorite color. Tomorrow I am going to the beach with Izzy and her Mom. I wish I had taken you when you were a teenager. I remember when you said you wanted to go again. It would have been fun. Love, Grandma

Shelby!
Hey, Jenna and I went to go see you a couple days ago. We dropped off a halloween stand and some beautiful flowers just for you! Well, hope you like baby girl! Carly Crouse
My heart goes out to you all. I have just lost my seven year old little boy. My heart still has a big hole in it. I climb in his bed every nite and cry for him. He was so special, as they all are. May God give you some peaceful days and nights ahead of you. When I see big bright shining stars in the sky I know that it is Hunter letting me know that he is okay and happy.
God bless and Love in Christ - Linda
Its November again. Another Thanksgiving without you in it. The boys are so big Shelby. Watch over them. I used to love the holidays Shelby and now I can only remember how they used to be when you were here and our family was whole. So its November and I'm still missing you and I still mourn you with my whole heart and I just can't seem to stop. Visit me in my dreams baby. I love you. Love MOM.
This song came to me when Michelle went to be with our Lord ...Come unto me all ye children come unto me I pray come unto me all ye children for such is the kingdom of God forbid not ye disciples forbid not ye I pray for such is the kingdom of God.Love you and miss you always Aunt Pam
Dear Shell I miss you and I Love you so much. I can't believe that you are gone. I know that you are in a better place but it is still so very hard to accept. I miss you eating our pickles when you would come over to my house. I know that you are with the Lord and that he LOVES and keeps you there in all his glory , but I can't Help but missssss.......you I love you so much Shell and I wish to God that you were still here. I wish that you didn't have to go. I miss laughing with you.I miss your smile. I miss when you used to come over and I miss you would go in my closet and I miss when we would go through all of my stuff. we would find a lot of cool stuff hue. I miss you asking me for what you would want to have from my room or my closet. I miss really bad waiting on you hand and foot. I'll tell you this I would give anything to just hear you laugh when I'm trying to be serious I miss giving you gifts, mostly stuff out of my closet that you would want. I just wish I could give you something out of my closet again.You had the most amazing spirit. I will never know another soul like yours. You are truly one of a kind. There is just so much to say about how much I love and and miss you. But really there is just so much to say about you. I love you shell. I wish that you did'nt have to go. I know that when the Lord comes we will be with you again and forever you were such a great loss to us all and I will miss you forever until I see you again , when the Lord comes to take me to heaven to I love you so much. DON'T forget me. Because if you dare do I am going to be marching up there in heaven with a bang to remind you. I know that God won't let you forget. It may sound selfish fome to say that I don't want you to forget me but hay Im stuck here on earth while your up in heaven. So bless you Shell. I'm sure that God will take care of all that anyways. I'll tell you I sure do miss you so much. All your huges and all your laughs and all your kisses and I even miss you when you and I would be sleeping and you would be kicking me in your sleep all night.

I wish that you could see it. There will never be another you Michelle. Nothing could ever replace you.You are with me in my heart and I knowyour with the LORD in heaven. I will love and miss you forever...

Shell, I could never express to anyone how much I miss you and wish you were with me everyday. You were my best friend and still in my heart and dreams, we shared so much together I wouldn't take that back for anything in the world. I miss waking up to every morning and laughing at you for sucking your thumb and making funny faces when we were thinking the same thoughts all the stupid things we did and got in trouble for I still would do it all again just to be with you, riding in the car and singing are favorite songs that we kept on repeat, and getting dressed in the morning for school or to go on are adventuress days when we were suppose to go to school sorry Mom & Dad , helping each other with are hair and makeup know I always have a piece of un straight hair and make up line you always fixed. I'm so grateful for spending the precious time we had together god could have never given me a grater friend then you. I love you always shell!!! Love Cassie

I miss you so much remember the day you came to school and getting out of the car you riped your skirt so we had to go to wal-mart to get saftey pins because for once that I can remember you did not want to go home! I love you and miss you so much xoxo!
Well Michelle,another Thanksgiving has gone by without having you come in and ask about the ham. We had many people over here today, but I still missed your voice and your face. Soon it will be 2 years, but I wish you were still here. I am looking for an angel to remind me of you. Love, Grandma
Today is the second anniversary of the accident that took you away from us. The little Christmas tree I decorated for you is in place. The tree isn't much, but I remember how much you loved Christmas. I was rembering when you drove your little Barbie car around and so many other happy holidays we shared. They will never be the same without all of my grandchildren. There just aren't any words that can express how empty my heart feels today. I miss you. Love, Grandma
hey michelle! i miss you bunches! its almost christmas! im just saying hey and that i miss you bunches and i think about you all the time! i love you so much shelby! love ya! Carly
I have been reminded of you so much this week. Seeing all of the young girls shopping and all of the clothes you would have looked so beautiful in. And then, the son of one of my best friends died. It was so hard to go to the funeral because it reminded me of yours. My heart was breaking again. Merry Christmas sweetheart. I miss you. Love, Grandma
Today I will be planting the first little Christmas tree for you.
I will nourish it to make it grow and remind me of you. Love, Grandma
I gave you fresh flowers today. There is so little I can do for you now. I wish I had done more when you were here. Love,Grandma

Shelby: Its January. the holidays were very hard this year. Christmas will never be the same without you. Even at 16, you woke me up at 4:30am to tell me Santa had been here. I know it was because I use to tell you, "if you don't believe, you won't receive". You made everything special shelby and I miss you terribly. I'm glad the holidays are over. Justin turned 18 and has his driver's license. watch over him shelby. I hope to see you in my dreams. Love you so much. Mom.

Sorry that shelby pasted away I known what your going through just recently I lost my grandma even though my grandma is gone she's still ther in my heart forever peace to you, Jessica Its ok we will all get through the tough times... I just lost a really close friend of mine it came on as a shock.. every morning I still wait for a call from him... he always told me this...what has happened in the past has happened keep going foward and never go back... forever, Meg
Shell, I only met you a few times and yet I still think of you often. I worked with your Mom at 7-11 and she would talk about you all the time. I remember one night we worked a 3rd shift together and we sat outside on the curb just talking about you and your mom told me the story of coming to your room to check on you, she told me I'd do that when I had kids. Now I got my little boy and I check on him everynight while he sleeps, there isn't a time that I do this that I don't think of you are your mom. You guys had a very special impact on my life. I know you are up there smiling down. God Bless your mom and I pray for her continued strength I know you mean the world to her...... Elizabeth Goodson

Our strawberries are finally producing enough to make the work of growing them worthwhile. Whenever I pick them, my thoughts go to you and I remember how much you loved strawberries. If you were here, I am sure they would hardly have time to get ripe. Missing your always. Love, Grandma
I have never met Michelle, just because I live in Russia. But I think she was a great person and it is pity that such people can't be among us. Dasha

Dearest Shelby,
On Saturday we lost a very dear friend to us named Lindsey Anderton. She was 17 years old. At 8 o'clock she lost control of her Chevy Tohoe on the interstate by my house. It fliped 4 times and she was thrown to the road, dying instantly. I couldn't believe the similarities of the way the two of you were lost. I wonder if you could look out for her there. You would have loved her. She loves gold and pretty things just the way you do. Although, the two of you would have never been able to walk streets of gold here. Take care of each other Shell. We love and miss you more than ever. All our Kisses, Bambi & kids.

Dearest Michelle, Tomorrow will be your 20th birthday. I wonder where you would be if you were still here with us. Would you have finished you nurses training? Would you be married? Those are many of the answers we will never know. I know you are happy, but we still miss you. Look over your family. Love, Grandma
Hey girl, today you would have been 20 years old I miss you still to this day you have always been in my heart I love you see you soon! Valrie
Michelle, your birthday was yesterday. you would have been 20 years old. I think of you all the time. I was blessed with a great dream of you the day before your birthday and it was so real. you were right here with me weren't you shelby. I love you. I miss you everyday. Love Mom.
You a wounderful young lady, may God bless,bless you in all that you do. - Jessica Mooers

Butterflies are in abundance right now. They even follow us on the golf course. Their beauty reminds me of you. We think of you daily and miss you always. Love, Grandma
I am working on new photos to update the website for my granddaughter. When it is complete, hopefully people will get a true picture of the young lady she became. We still miss her. To Michelle: Love, Grandma
Shelby: I miss you so much. Our family is unsettled & not quite right since you've been in heaven. Please look down on us and pray for us. We long to be with you. love MOM

Just thinking of your beautiful face this Thanksgiving. We miss you and love you so much. Sarah is growing up so fast and she makes me think of you. You were both beautiful and so full of energy. And you both loved pickles!! LOL!! The boys are doing good, just being a big pain once in a while. I have a new grandbaby named Audrey. She's such a doll. Please help watch over her for me. I still can't believe you're gone. It still seems like a dream and I know we'll wake up soon...but when? We love you honey. Happy Thanksgiving!! Uncle Jr.,Aunt Robin, Lonnie, Sarah, Jesse, & Chance

It is three years today that you have been gone. I will never forget your beautiful smiling face. You are our precious angel in Heaven. Please watch over all of us. You will forever be missed. Thanksgiving and Christmas are not the same without you. I miss having you come in and ask where the ham is so you can get some it right away. Love, Grandma

It is hard to believe that it has been 3 years since you have been gone. I remember that day too well. I am working on the butterfly for the candlelight service. As always when I go through your photos, I remember your beautiful smile and how you always wanted some ham as soon as you came in the house for our holiday family times together. It will never be the same without you. We miss you every day. Love, Grandma

Michelle was a delight from start to finish. I was so blessed to have had her as a student for two years. She knew what she wanted and was determined to get it. Her sense of humor was contagious and I'll always remember that smile! Bonnie, thanks for keeping your precious daughter's spirit alive. She was truly an inspiration to all of us who were fortunate to know her! Judy Thompson

21 tomorrow!! Such a sweet angel. We sure do miss you, Shelby. Uncle Jr. sends his love and asks that you please look out for all the kids. They are some crazy youngins, but with you looking out for them, I know we'll sleep better at night.

Send some butterfly kisses our way when you get a chance. Love you always, Uncle Jr., Robin and family

My dearest Michelle, You are in my thoughts now more than ever. At work, on the golf course, at home, or wherever I am. We are getting ready to plan the Candlelight ceremony for this year and I would like to pick a different photo, but you are so beautiful in all of them that it is really difficult. We miss you so much. Love, Grandma
