May 28, 2013 at 10:23 pmI extend my heartfelt sympathy to the family and may God bring you peace in these sad days. Michelle I have so many fond memories of our youth, you and your family, were an extension of our family. Your beauty was within and extended out to all to see. The time has passed so quickly it was only a year since we last spoke and had a great visit over the phone laughing and reminiscing. You are in heaven now with the King of Kings, we will meet again I am sure. Thanks again for all the beautiful memories that will be with for a life time. Peace be with you and your family. With Love, Joseph
