I wanted to remember

For my dear friend, Michelle:





Each life that touches ours for good
Reflects thine own great mercy, Lord;
Thou sendest blessings from above

Thru words and deeds of those who love.
What greater gift dost thou bestow,
What greater goodness can we know
Than Christlike friends, whose gentle ways

Strengthen our faith, enrich our days.
When such a friend from us departs,
We hold forever in our hearts
A sweet and hallowed memory,

Bringing us nearer, Lord, to thee.
For worthy friends whose lives proclaim
Devotion to the Savior’s name,
Who bless our days with peace and love,
We praise thy goodness, Lord, above.


When words don't say enough, music finds a way. Love you Michelle! Thank you for touching my life. I miss you and can't wait to see you again!

Emali-
Thanks for sharing those fun pics. Ever since I heard about Michelle yesterday I have been remembering some of the fun memories I have with her. I remember being great friends when we were little and were neighbors. My heart and mind are full of so many fun times we shared. My heart breaks for her family and sad knowing it will be a long time before we see her again but I am so glad that she is in a better place.

Thanks for all of your sweet comments. Of course this is a hard time for the family (and friends too). If I can get the ok from my OB I may be flying into town for the services...hopefully I'll see you all soon!

Wow those are some old pictures!!! Good times. I know that she is in a better place. I couldn't believe it when I heard what was going on. I remember a lot of the poems that she used to write and display at the Young Women gatherings. I hope you can make it to the viewing, it'd be fun to see you!
