If you know her, you know she loves the youth in our community. Michelle volunteered for over 15 years with the Fellowship of African American Men Organization as a coach and mentor. Using the sport of cheerleading to influence and educate our youth on self-worth, self­ respect, and responsibility not just to themselves but to those around them and their community.

Michelle was loved by all. She will truly be missed.

Blah, blah, blah. Actually, none of this is important - where I went to school, where I worked, etc. Everyone knows who my family is and how  much I love them. Nothing could ever change the meaningfulness they have all brought to my life. Outside of my family, the only thing that matters is how I made you feel. I hope that I was positive and had a loving impact to you. Whether for years or just a small sliver in time. You mattered to me and brought joy to my life. Please keep the family in your prayers.
