A Letter from Me

Michelle,
I have a lifetime of wonderful memories with you and I just cannot believe that we won't be able to make any new ones. It's so sad to think that Cassidy & Zoe won't be able to spend every Christmas together like we did....and that I don't get to spend any more Christmas's with you either!! Everyone misses you so much and I pray all the time that we will get some closure. I wish I was better at expressing myself in words, but I know you can see me and that you understand how I feel.
Love,
Statia

A Letter from Katherine

Dear "Aunt" Michelle,

I met you exactly one year ago today, and I knew immediately you were someone special. When I met you in my mom's hospital room, your sweet voice was instantly soothing. You knew how to hold me much better than my mom and dad did! I only wish I could have spent more time with you, as mommy always tells me what an amazing person you are and she tells me how much she misses and loves you. She also sprinkles on me the special baby powder you gave her on Mother's Day. We call it Michelle's angel dust and use it only on special occasions. We hope it lasts forever.

Lv,
Katherine Powers

A Letter from Jen

Michelle,

I am missing you as much today as ever. I think back often on all our days together and the fun and laughter that we shared for so many years. I can still hear your voice, and wish you could call me on Fridays at 4pm from your car ride home (even though you knew I was still working!). There is so much I need to tell you, and so much I want to hear. I wish there was email in Heaven.

xoxoxo (a million times),

Jenny J

Magnets

A group of wonderful people - strangers to me - have spent their time and money to create and distribute bumper magnets for Michelle in the hopes of it catching someone's eye that might have some information. The "Friends of Michelle" or "Magnet Militia" as they call themselves are doing such a wonderful job at getting her case back in the public eye. It warms my heart that people still feel so strongly and have so much love for Michelle.

Picnic

Back in August Linda invited some friends and family to a picnic at the beach next to Michelle's tree. It was a beautiful late August day - not too hot, not too cold...perfect for a picnic. We talked about Michelle and about life in general, ate lots of watermelon and let the kids all play. Linda brought a big bunch of balloons with her and we all wrote messages on them and released them up to Michelle in heaven. It was a bittersweet day - nice to get together, but sad because of the reason we were there. I was however pleasantly surprised to find that all the ornaments were still on her tree!
