My deepest heart felt condolences. This is a tragic loss to the universe. A life so worth celebrating. My family and I have so many beautiful memories with Aunt Shell. Michelle welcomed absolutely everyone. Her love was fiercely contagious. She was a force of kindness and hugs. Our ladies group was full of humor, excitement and mischief. We laughed until we cried, and then we laughed more. She was embedded into our community, Brownies, Guides, school, neighbors. She made a difference everywhere. So many memories. Her and I would laugh about ironing everything in our house and our ironing code meant, NO ONE -ABSOLUTELY NO ONE leaves our homes in wrinkles. No unkempt bodies leaving the house. Lol. Then the unthinkable happened, I had to zip over to her place to pick up items.... and I wore a wrinkled shirt... she burst into laughter and shock.
When I said I was going directly home and no one would see me!!! She laughed harder and said " ARE you kidding??? I just saw you!!! " It's how we were raised!! Lol. When our son, Jay-man, was diagnosed as a baby, with a boy-in-the-bubble disease, she made him a bag filled with books, puzzles, snacks for his hospital days, she showed up at hospital numerous times to make his days go quicker. Michelle was a fierce loving force in our community. Rest Peacefully Aunt Shell. You are still loved.
