I am simply in shock to hear about Michelle’s passing. I have so many fond memories of our times growing up together. Michelle was a ray of SUNSHINE everywhere she went. Always wearing bright beautiful clothes with a radiant smile. Heaven has truly gained a beautiful saint. Prayers to all the family. I know Michelle will be greatly missed.

Michelle and I met when I came to work in the office at Englewood Baptist Church in 2012. We were fast friends, lunch buddies and confidants. Beautiful, talented, smart, stylish, hilarious, tender, caring, creative, trustworthy, strong, faith-filled and loyal are just a few words to describe this one-of-a-kind lady. She cried with me through the storms of life, and I have never laughed so hard than with that “gurl”. We prayed for each other and encouraged one another with God’s promises. There will never be anyone like her. Thank you, Jesus, for giving me this beautiful friend. My world has lost some sparkle, laughter and love with her passing. She lives on in my heart through precious memories I will carry always. Sometimes, when I open my mouth, she pops out as I repeat funny things she has said. I am so sorry for your loss, dear family. Michelle loved you dearly and talked about you with pride and devotion. She has seen Jesus face to face and been welcomed into her eternal rest. No more pain, sorrow, crying or sickness. We will continue to pray for the family in the days, months and years to come. May you experience God’s love and comfort as He binds up your wounds.

Michelle was my sister in law, I loved her very much. She was always so kind and thoughtful to my family. I remember when I got married. My parents house only had one bathroom and the house was full of relatives from out of town. Michelle called me to ask if I wanted to come to her house to get ready for my wedding. She came and picked me up, she helped me with my hair and makeup. We then walked from her house to the church with holding the train of my gown. She made my day special and gave me the opportunity to be pampered. I have never forgot her kindness. She was a blessing from God to my family. I love you Michelle and our family will not be whole again until we see you in heaven.

When I think of you I think of big beautiful blue eyes and a lovable lap that was sat on many times by either myself or my sister many, many years ago at Southside Baptist Church. There may have been a time or two that I ran thru my Granny’s yard to so see you and Rhonda.
I know your family will miss you. Prayers to all of you and I love you all!

Such an infectious smile always on her face. She will be missed.
As a former classmate of Michelle I would run into her around town throughout the years. Her smile would light up any room and brighten anyone’s day. God Blessed you Michelle with a heart as big as your smile. So sorry to hear of this.

Michelle was always a joy to be around and was like family. We will always cherish the memories. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Michelle’s gentle spirit was truly a reflection of her faith. Her kindness, intelligence, and selfless nature were inspirations to all who knew her. As I served on the finance committee, seeing her diligent service and devotion always revisited the true essence of stewardship in me.
We share this grief together, knowing that she is now at rest in the Lord’s eternal embrace, and hearing Him say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
Michelle and I worked together at Dr. Dempsey’s in the 80’s. It was always good to see around town and catch up. She always had a smile and we would laugh at something. Going to miss you.
Prayers and love to you all during this time.
We became close friends in highschool….many moons ago. I loved running into her because it was like no time had been lost..we just picked right back up where we left off. I do wish I had known she had been sick. She was so loved and will never be forgotten.
Michelle was such a wonderful beautiful sweet person. She was always smiling will be missed so much. Michelle will be remembered always though in our hearts. See you again !!
Michelle was a beautiful person inside and out. We are so sorry for your loss and pray comfort and peace for you.
