Sunday morning at 1am Michelle was called home. Michelle was admitted to the hospital on Friday evening. On Saturday, Michelle suffered a seizure that left her unable to communicate. Michelle slowly improved through the afternoon to the point that she could talk and recognize everyone. We were incredibly blessed to be able to tell Michelle one last time how much we love her and for her to tell us how much we were loved by her. She fell asleep and died quietly with her momma holding her left hand and me holding the other.

Michelle was always aware of the severity of her disease, but she never gave up hope and never stopped trying to get better. She had an incredible faith and took comfort in knowing that God had a purpose for her even as she was being incapacitated by the pain and physical limitations of her decease. This was witnessed by many of you as she continued to smile, love, serve and do the things she enjoyed.

Michelle did go through moments when she felt that she must of have done something to deserve her illness or that she had been forsaken by God. These times broke my heart because I truly know how good a person she was. But, Michelle always came back to the knowledge that God's plan works for His glory and that His love is unfailing, no matter how desperate or dire the situation. She knew that though her earthly body may suffer and be destroyed, it would be replaced with a perfect body and that she would rejoice in the presence of Christ and the Father forever. Your love and support served as proof of this fact to Michelle. There is no way for me to communicate how blessed our family felt through her illness. There were countless times when someone would step up at just the right time to strengthen or support us with a word of encouragement, a visit, a prayer, a card, some flowers, a meal, or assistance with the children's schedule. Michelle's greatest concern was to maintain a happy and welcoming home for her children. Your help allowed us to make her final days as happy as possible for our family and was a true expression of God's love and mercy.

The visitation is scheduled for 6:30 to 7:30pm on Tuesday at Greenlawn Funeral Home off of Leesburg Rd. The funeral service will be held at our church (Northeast Presbyterian) at 1pm on Wednesday.

Yours in Christ,
Abby, Chris, and Mat
