You were and still are my best friend and I hope you fly high and I know you will always be with us all and your goofy laugh when you are up to something. Love you gone but never will be for gotten. You will live on in those special 3 girls of yours.
I was fortunate to have known Michelle since the 3rd grade. She was always so full of laughter and a free spirit. I was so glad I was able to watch her homegoing today and I know she would be so proud at how you handled this day. Prayers for you all for peace and comfort.
I am so sorry for your loss. As a teenager, Michelle was my closest friend but we grew apart after high school. I’ve spent the last few days reading her FB posts. She left the most precious gift for her family. She posted how important her parents, brothers and daughters are to her. I also realized how much she stayed the same. She was always full of life and pretty much up for anything fun. I’m sorry I couldn’t be there today. I was able to honor her with a balloon release and coke toast. To a wonderful woman and a life full of love! Donna (Pinter) Tolson
Rest in heaven Michelle 😇 You will be missed by many ❤️❤️
Her dad reminded me of a camping trip we went on and me and michelle found a little piece of land like an island away from everyone else and we made our own private oasis there. The next year we went back it was all grown over. So we left and went and stayed at Indian springs and met boys that year at the public pool there. We had so much fun on both trios. We always would talk about and be like remember when ….. im gonna miss you Michelle! Rest easy!
