Tributes

Love you Michelle, I will carry you in my heart forever. Our friendship, as 5 year old kids was the best. Our adventures up the farm, birthday parties, school days, bus rides. You were always solid and loyal and kind. Thank you for all the memories, I can now look back on and smile. You are greatly missed and greatly loved. I'm so glad I got to see you one last time this year, it means so much to me. Forever xoxox
