Michele Corinne Hibbs

How does someone show strength?

We lost our oldest sister this month. Throughout her life, she sacrificed so much for the people around her.

Her strength was in helping those who she touched daily, in her willingness to give her time and energy to others.

Although our sister had her struggles, she maintained her quiet, easygoing way that did not diminish her drive to help others.

As we move forward without her beside us, let us remember the true beauty that was our sister, Mike. Her love and care never wavering, her sacrifice never forgotten.

We miss you. Love, your brothers and sister.
