I will always remember our friendship and your support when I was in a difficult time in my life. We met in grade school and through the years we had some awesome memories. I'll never forget you Meechie.
Time got away from us, I can't get home in time to attend your service and I'm just sorry we didn't take time to make peace before you left us. I'll do better if I have another opportunity in the future. You were a great friend to everyone, sister.
We are never promised tomorrow. Forgive one another. Apologize to one another. Love one another. Don't hold on to grudges.
Fly high Meechie,
You were the best worst roommate ever 💖💔

Mechele was married to my brother Chuck for years and a beautiful part of our lives. She was always happy and laughing and I loved that about her. No matter how much time had past a phone call catch up was like no time passed at all. She has left a legacy with her boys Zach and Jordan and I am so grateful to be their Aunt.. When I look at them I can see glimpses of her and it's easy to remember all the memories she shared with our family.. I am praying for comfort for everyone that knew her..

Reed, You you were my first friend in a school all new to me. Since the 9th grade you have been one of my fiercest allies. You were my first roommate in our apartment off of EP True in WDM. Zach was a toddler, running around the house. A beautiful baby boy. You were a great young mother. Through the years and my many moves across the country, you have always made time to come and visit me. You were often in my familys home for holidays. Always stopping by to pay respect to my family and bring a gift. I will miss you beyond words but I am a better person having been blessed to share your friendship. Heaven has gained an Angel most certainly.
I will never forget you and have many beautiful memories to draw upon. Condolences to her family, sons, and so many friends.

Such a sweet girl and always smiling. She was my daughter Tracey's best friend and was at our house aIot. In her adult years she would come over on or around the holiday to see Tracey and always brought a gift for me. I loved her and am so going to miss her.

Mechele and I worked together, she was there when I started and she helped me out. She brought a lot of humor to daily work and we had some good laughs. That is so important! Thank you Mechele! I remember that the Hawkeyes, fishing and mushroom hunting being some of her favorite topics. She spoke of her family and Irish heritage with great pride. My heart goes out to Mechele's family, you have my sincere sympathy.
