I wouldn't call what I have a "memory" but rather a shift in seeing the good.

The only summer we spent together was 1999 at Crossmen, it was a rough

summer for me and it took everything in me to just get to the end. I am sure

along the way I wasn't the best person to be around and I know I didn't take the

time to get to know you (and many others I'm sure) the way I should have.

I didn't take the time. And it is clear to me that you, my friend, did. You took

the time to love and connect with everyone you came in contact with.

Your grace, courage, strength and love over the past year has been beyond

inspiring. There have been days I wanted to give up on "things" and I would say

I can't....Michelle isn't giving up. You changed and effected lives without even

knowing. You have made me want to love more, connect more, take the time..more, you have made me see what's important, see the good,,,be the good, you have made me want to be a better person. Our paths crossed many times over the years and I loved seeing your smile and the love you and Jeff shared. I know that you loved BJ and it made me happy that he could put a smile on your face. Every photo I posted I thought, I hope Michelle sees this one.

It's hard for us to understand why God takes the best people from us so soon and the only thing I can think of is.....You did more in your short time than many do in their long lives. He has greater plans for you and your light will keep shining bright.

You did so much for so many. It's time to rest. Rest easy. Shine Bright.

Much love...Jenifo, BJ and Skittles.
