As we read all the comments about Michelle from 2012, we know that she was really loved. I know Debra and I really enjoyed Michelle on our family reunion visit to D.C. before her passing. Michelle had a great sense of humor.
Aunt Michelle, not a soul on this earth could take your place. You were full of love and laughter and could hand dance better than anyone I know. You supported your family always. I will miss seeing you around and hearing you call the house with your “island accent.” I love you dearly…
