Michelle was 2 years old when she first became ill. It was soon discovered that she had a brain tumor. Michelle eventually endured two resections and various radiation treatments. These procedures extended her life for yet another 3 years, but the cancer returned. Out of options, Michelle went home where she died in her sleep at the age of 5 years, 3 months and 22 days. In here short life she made a difference to many people especially her older brother Jeremy who later passed on January 5, 2022. She always lit up any room she entered. She is missed terribly, but we rest assured she is in a better place. The day she was called home, her Mother sat down and wrote a poem that was cast in bronze and marks her gravesite.

Inscription

Michelle our daughter, You are sunshine, You are laughter, Your loves are many, More than any, You embrace them all, Both big and small, Puppy dogs and pussy cats, Seeing Daddy in his cowboy hat, Lands of dinosaurs and dragons, From your sandbox to your wagon, Delighting in ferryboat rides, And going down slides, Gazing at stars, And traveling to lands afar, You are so wise, For one of your size, Your love is strong, We know where you belong, Safe in God's arms, Sheltered from all harms, We rest in God's grace, Till we next see your face
