IN MEMORY OF...

If I knew it would be the last time 
that I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly 
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time 
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss 
and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time 
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word, 
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time, 
I could spare an extra minute or two
to stop and say "I love you," 
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time 
I would be there to share your day,
well I'm sure you'll have so many more, 
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow 
to make up for an oversight, 
and we always get a second chance 
to make everything right.

There will always be another day 
to say our "I love you's,"
And certainly there's another chance 
to say our "Anything I can do's?"

But just in case I might be wrong, 
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you 
and I hope we never forget,

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, 
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance 
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow, 
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes, 
you'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time 
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone, 
what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today, 
whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them 
and that you'll always hold them dear,

Take time to say "I'm sorry," "please forgive me," 
"thank you" or "it's okay".
And if tomorrow never comes, 
you'll have no regrets about today.

There are no words to describe
The pain we feel
Losing something so strong
It doesn’t seem real
How could this happen
To someone so close
Too much pain inside
That not everyone  know
We miss you dearly
You’ve imprinted our lives
We love you still
Even more since you’ve died
You were like this delicate rose
Stunning, beautiful and flawless
No one can ever match or be compared to you
For you couldn’t even be compared to the rest
One in a million is what you were
Always making us smile 
Through better or through worse
But now we just cry
Michele, you were always the sweetest girl
Comforting and so real
Man, all this pain inside
Will take a thousand of years to heal

It seemed like it was only yesterday that we were gossiping about this guy and that guy , that we met. I can still hear your abnoxios laugh, that somehow intoxicated all of us around you. You lit up any room you stepped in. I don't know what more to ask for in a friend. It has been several months since you've passed, but it still seems like yesterday that you were still alive. Now and than I sit up at night and tear a little. You were truly loved and will be missed.

Adam's Song~*~Blink 182

I never thought I'd die alone
I laughed the loudest who'd have known?
I traced the cord back to the wall
No wonder it was never plugged in at all
I took my time, I hurried up
The choice was mine I didn't think enough
I'm too depressed to go on
You'll be sorry when I'm gone
I never conquered rarely came
16 just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over ,I'd survived
I couldn't wait till I got home
To pass the time in my room alone
I never thought I'd die alone
Another 6 months I'll be unknown
Give all my things to my friends
You'll never set foot in my room again
You'll close it off, board it up
Remember the time I spilled the cup
Of apple juice in the hall
Please tell mom this is not her fault
I never conquered , rarely came
But tomorrow holds such better days
Days when I can still feel alive
When I can't wait to get outside
The world is wide, the time goes by
The tour is over, I've survived
I can't wait till I get home
To pass the time in my room alone

Words From The Site-Master

There is ,obviously, no words to describe the tremendous loss we have all shared. On be-half of Birmingham, and the rest of Michele's friends, We would like to extend our arms to Shell's parents and family. We are all suffering greatly, but together we will be able to heal the loss we've acquired. I would like to tell Michele, if she's reading this up there, that I love you girl. You have been the source of all our happiness, and it only saddens us to know you have departed our mortal realm. I have finally come to except the fact you have passed, and I smile now, because I know you're looking down on us from your heavenly cloud. You are and have always been an inspiration to us all. Your fashion style, your laugh and your awesome personality will be missed. Most of you , you will be missed. You will never know what kind of affect you have imprinted in all of us. Rest In Peace babe. You are greatly missed. Always in our hearts and you will never be forgotten, you are too special!!!!! "BELIEVE IN LOVE"

"If you want to see the rainbow, you got to put up with the rain"~Michele.
