This was my Aunt.. I think about her everyday.. I remember the exact day my mom told me she was killed... I never got to say goodbye to her or say I Love You one more time.. She died a couple of days before my birthday.. I dread my birthday every year cause of this tragedy.. I love you Aunt Michele.. I can't wait to see you again someday.

My love and prayers and heart go out to each of Michele's family, be it blood family, love family, ABATE family, church family, or work family.
Keep Michele in your hearts and KNOW revenge and hatred is NOT what she would want. She was a forgiving person. Let that part of her be her legacy that we pass on.
God is holding her in His arms. Where could she be safer? Praise God for her faith and accepting the Lord so she can be home with Him now.
We are not ready to let go, but she would want us to remember the good times, laugh at the fun times, and support each other at this time.
We are ALL family. We need to stand united and support each person.
I am here anytime day or night. Just let me know what I can do.
God bless you all and know Michele is riding the streets of gold along with our Butch Beam. PRAISE THE LORD!!!!
