Michelle grew up in my neighborhood, her backyard touches my parents backyard. The last time I saw Michelle was over a year ago, with my sister and her talking -- our conversations with her family and ours always took place with all of us standing from our decks. She has a great family, who I know love and miss her everyday, when I am in my mother's kitchen and I see the light go on -- in her parent's backyard, I always say a prayer for Michelle and her family. Hearing from her mother, reading all the articles from her brothers and boyfriend, I am only sorry, I didn't see more of Michelle. I hope from all the positives and hearts that Michelle touched -- their family will have comfort in their mourning period knowing what that Michelle is still with them whenever they need her.
