My mom and dad told me of Michelle's passing and I just wanted you to know that she left a lasting impression on me even though she was only my babysitter for a few times. Her JOY and genuine interest in my sister and myself is something I will never forget, even at 52 years old! May God bless her family as they mourn her but rejoice that she is with her Savior - Lupus free! Karin Burma Wheeler

You are right in saying Michelle is now our Angel and

I'm not sure who wrote this obituary, but it summed up beautifully the wonderful person Michelle was. I got to know Michelle and her family (Sonya, included) when I became part of the Taylor'd Footwear clan. She will be missed, but never forgotten. Her spirit will continue to shine in her kids, and in her grandson.
