This is Ashley Holley and Michelle was my very first friend when I moved here in 7th Grade. She took me right in and I spent the night with her almost every weekend. She was one of the most selfless Persons I have ever met, and she would do anything for anybody if she had the means to do so. She would sacrifice her own wants to make others happy. I will miss her very much. Please pray for her Mother Roxanne and the rest of Michelle’s family. I love you Michelle! Say hello to my mommy up there in heaven.
